Hello. This is Lee Dong-shin, the director of Elsword.

Through the previous and additional pre-revamp announcements, we informed you that the Reforge effect related to Specific Skill Damage Increase would be changed to an effect that increases All Skill Damage, along with numerical adjustments.

After the announcement, many adventurers shared their thoughts regarding the change. We carefully reviewed all feedback about the benefits and concerns of this revamp and continued internal discussions.

While it is meaningful in the long run to proceed as previously announced in line with the overall direction of the revamp, we fully understand the concerns of adventurers when considering the current gameplay patterns and gear setup environment.

We also reviewed other alternatives suggested by adventurers, such as changing the effect to Active/Tenacity/Strength/Bravery Skill Damage Increase or keeping the current effects and removing the cost.

However, further internal review is still required, and we believe presenting a different plan at this point could cause unnecessary confusion. We apologize for not being able to provide a finalized decision right now.

Since the patch has not yet been applied, we will re-examine the long-term direction, the current situation of our adventurers, and the feedback you’ve provided as quickly as possible, so we can offer a solution that will be more helpful to you.
