[CENTRAL MARKET]

● Item price for the same grade and name that the Weapon Exchange Coupon can be applied to will now have identical prices by averaging out the price difference between the most and least expensive items.

During the maintenance on May 8th, we placed purchase limit for the Weapon Exchange Coupon once per Family. This was implemented as a countermeasure against those who would attempt to use this item to make a great amount of profit by taking advantage of the flexibility of the market price within a short period of time.

With the possibility of such an exploit, we found it could lead to market manipulation and gold farming at workshops and we had to set restriction upon purchasing the exchange coupon. We would like to sincerely apologize for not anticipating the side effect when we first introduced the Weapon Exchange Coupon in Pearl Shop and for providing a possibility of abusing the Central Market system.

We are currently not only investigating cases of abusing the system but also taking all the possible scenarios into the account. Based on the result, those who are confirmed as committing exploits will be taken to strong measures.

Following changes will be applied in order to ensure all Adventurers to freely use the Weapon Exchange Coupon in the intended way and prevent the chance of abusing the system in any case.

From now on, price of the items to which the Weapon Exchange Coupon can be applied will be averaged out with the same price. This price will be average of the items with the same grade and name currently available in Central Market. In addition, the purchase limit will be removed and you can purchase the Weapon Exchange Coupon anytime you want.

We will look forward with more caution and efforts to make sure all Adventurers will no longer suffer from such an inconvenience.

● Item price with the same grade and name will be unified regardless of the class.

● Purchase limit for the Weapon Exchange Coupon will be removed and be back on permanent sale as of May 22nd maintenance.
