The recent patch has sparked controversy as the refund rate for unused Awakening Points has been reduced from 100%. The developers categorized this as an 'incorrect refund ratio,' but many users argue that unused points should logically be fully refunded without any fees. The current refund rates of 60% for disassembly and 80% for destruction are considered unreasonable, with many opinions suggesting that a refund rate of at least 90% should be applied. 📉 Refund Rate Reduction: Unused Awakening Point refund rate changed from 100% to 60-80%. 🤔 Core of Controversy: The prevailing opinion is that 100% refund for unused points is reasonable. 💡 Improvement Request: Users are demanding a refund rate of at least 90% upon item destruction.

To increase the efficiency of changing appraisal options during equipment awakening, it's crucial to use an Excel sheet to compare the Awakening Point increase rate and Serus price provided by each piece of equipment. Specifically, +6 enhanced equipment provides an additional 2% bonus points to the base Awakening Points, making it more diamond-efficient to use +6 enhanced equipment as awakening material when considering the price of pure armor enhancement stones. Additionally, Operta items provide 30% Awakening Points and offer good value for money. 📊 Efficiency Calculation: Compare Awakening Point increase rate and Serus price to choose optimal materials. ✨ Utilize +6 Enhancement: Using +6 enhanced equipment as material can save diamonds by providing additional bonus points. 💎 Operta Items: Actively utilize cost-effective Operta items.

For Dagger classes in Arena PvP, focusing on 'burst damage' by targeting the opponent's back is extremely important. Overwhelm opponents with various buffs and skill combos, and raising your leather armor level can increase critical hit rate by 30%, leading to immense damage. Remember that Road Nine is not just a 'spec game' but a 'control game', so strategic skill usage and positioning according to the situation are key to victory. 🗡️ Focus on Burst Damage: Target the opponent's rear for explosive damage. 🛡️ Strengthen Fundamentals: Maximize critical hit rate by raising your leather armor level. 🎮 Master Control: Since control is more important than specs, focus on skill combos and positioning.

The 'Mark of Blood' system on the Garbana server has been improved, so now the Mark of Blood value will not increase during combat within boss spawn areas or when fighting targets with mutually hostile relationships. This change reduces the burden of having to remove the debuff, which previously accumulated with more kills, using diamonds or gold. It primarily alleviates disadvantages in active PvP areas, allowing users to participate in combat more freely. 🩸 Mark Alleviation: Mark of Blood value no longer increases in boss areas or when fighting hostile targets. 💰 Reduced Burden: The previous burden of removing marks with diamonds/gold is reduced. ⚔️ Free PvP: More active combat is possible in PvP-heavy areas.
