Some of the drop rates settings for Magatsu have been made in error, resulting in ★10+ items dropping at a high rate on certain difficulties. Since this bug is likely to affect the game's balance and economy, the development team has decided upon the following action.

On January 28th, the following changes will occur for Magatsu's drop rates.

  • ★10 and higher items will no longer drop on [Normal] and [Hard] difficulties.
  • ★10 and ★11 items will have reduced drop rates on [Very Hard].
  • ★12 items and [Ash Shiva Stones] will have buffed drop rates on [Extra Hard].
  • Drop rates for other items not described above will remain the same.
