    • Only the best performing character in the player's account will be counted for rankings
    • Due to the consolidation, the number of placements for 2nd and 3rd place rewards will be increased (2nd place = #2-100 previously #2-30; 3rd place = #101-300 previously #31-100)

  • Player must possess the entire set of gear in order to store those pieces as an outfit glamour
  • Previously set dyes will be removed when you store gear as part of an outfit; dye must be reapplied afterwards

  • Starting with patch 7.1, character-related feedback on the graphics update will be addressed. Because of this, an additional free vial of   Fantasia will be made available from the Medicine Merchant for a limited time (only during the 7.1 patch sequence).
