■ Major Changes

[Increased Rates for Advanced Lucky Boxes]
- Greatly increased chances of obtaining SR and SSR equipment.
- Changed probability is as follows.
ㄴOld: SSR 0.4500%, SR 1.3500%, R 13.5000%, N 74.7000%, No grade 10.0000%
　ㄴ New: SSR 2.2500%, SR 6.7500%, R 13.5000%, N 67.5000%, No grade 10.0000%
- Lucky Coupons will be issued for all Advanced Lucky Box purchases made from Global Beta launch up until this update on 5/15 (Thurs).
　ㄴ e.g., During the target period, a total of 100 Advanced Lucky Box draws ▶ Provide 100 Lucky Coupons
- Normal Lucky Box rates remain unchanged.

[Increased Equipment Enhancement Success Rates]
- Enhancement success rates now unified across all rarities and overall increased:
　ㄴ Old: Enhancement probability varies by N~SSR-grade
　ㄴ New: All grades of enhancement probability adjusted at once (same as the existing N-grade enhancement probability)
- After the update, the equipment enhancement probability is as follows.

- As the probability of enhancing equipment of R-grade or higher has changed significantly, we will provide the goods used to enhance equipment of R-grade or higher that have been enhanced since the global open beta and before the update maintenance on 5/15 (Thu).
　ㄴ e.g., If you enhance R-grade equipment a total of 10 times and enhance SSR-equipment once during the target period > All enhancing tools, ER, and Milla consumed for enhancing R-grade equipment 10 times and enhancing SSR-equipment once will be provided.

[Co-op Raid Reward System Overhaul]
- Changed the success/failure rewards for the 37th Street Construction Site and Dusk Garden to be received repeatedly.
- Previously, rewards could only be received once a day regardless of success/failure, but now rewards can be received for each co-op raid you participate in.
- Since repeated receipts are now possible, the balance of rewards paid upon success has been partially changed.
- The changed success rewards are as follows:
ㄴ Construction Site on the 37th provides armor enhancement tools, and Dusk Garden provides weapon enhancement tools.
