Please check the details below.

The Rune Book system will be added.

- The Rune equipping method has been changed.

- The Rune grade classification method has been changed.

​

■ Rune Book

- Instead of storing Rune items in the inventory, the Rune equipping method has been changed so that Rune stats are stored and can be directly applied to equipment.

- The Rune Information button and Rune Information window have been deleted from the Rune item context menu.

- The Rune Management button in the item context menu has been replaced with the Rune Book button. Pressing the Rune Book button opens the Rune Book window.

- The Attack/Defense/Support Rune items you had in your inventory will disappear after the scheduled maintenance and will be replaced with Rune stats.

> The Rune Book records the highest level of stats acquired so far, and Runes of the same or lower level are converted into Rune Fragments.

​

■ Rune Stat Growth

- Attack/Defense/Support Runes are automatically used upon acquisition and attempt to level up stats according to a set probability.

> If the stat level-up is successful, the level of the Rune stat increases, and if it fails, you gain Growth Points. Growth Points can be checked in the stat slot of the Rune Book window with a gauge and tooltip.

- The amount of Growth Points acquired varies depending on the Rune's grade.

- When the accumulated Growth Points reach the maximum, the Rune stat level increases by 1. Excess Growth Points are lost at the same time as leveling up.

> The Growth Points achieved per level are as follows.

- Chaos Runes are automatically used upon acquisition and are stored in the Rune Book as Chaos Rune stats with positive or negative effects according to a set probability.

> Up to 100 Chaos Rune stats can be stored, and even if you already have more than 100, the excess will remain.

> If you have 100 or more Chaos Rune stats stored, you cannot use additional Chaos Runes, and unused Chaos Runes will be stored in your inventory. To use Chaos Runes in your inventory, you must delete the Chaos Rune stats you have to adjust the number to 100 or less.

> Existing Chaos Rune items will disappear after the scheduled maintenance and will be replaced with Chaos Rune stats. The Chaos Rune stats you have acquired so far will be automatically saved in the Rune Book.

- Runes that can be acquired from existing boxes will be replaced with Runes that are used upon acquisition instead of equipped Runes.

- In the Rune Book window, you can manage the sockets of your equipment and equip/unequip the acquired Rune stats.
