Weapon Reinforcement Update

「To alleviate Reinforcement failure risks, the level at which weapons are destroyed has been changed from +12 to +13. Weapons now also lose 3 Reinforcement levels if a +11 or +12 attempt fails.

* Example 1: If reinforcement from +10 to +11 attempt fails, the resulting weapon Reinforcement level is +7.
* Example 2: If reinforcement from +11 to +12 attempt fails, +8.

The convenience features of Reinforcement have been improved as well. Its UI has been renewed so as to help you check the information about Reinforcement more easily and clearly. You can now reinforce items to up to +11 simply by pressing the Enter key. Reinforcement wait time has been decreased slightly to accelerate the process.」

• The Weapon Reinforcement effects have been updated.
  - Reinforcing weapons now add Physical/Magical Atk. instead of defense-Piercing Physical/Magical Atk.
