*Due to a client update being required to address this issue, as a temporary measure to prevent the issue from spreading, we have made it so that an error will be displayed and you will be unable to perform the exchange when exchanging for Crafting Master Recipes (11) using 1200 purple crafters' scrip at the Sundry Splendors. When exchanging for Crafting Master Recipes (11) or Crafting Master Recipes (12), please use the scrip exchange located in various areas.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

■A partial fix has been made for a bug where objects and other graphics sometimes interfere with PCs and NPCs in cutscenes of some quests. We will continue to fix and verify the issues that have not been fixed at this time, and will address them in due course.

■We have implemented a temporary countermeasure for the issue with mech ops in Cosmic Exploration wherein an error preventing boarding would occur if "Board" is selected while performing another action at the same time.

*As it will take time to implement a permanent fix, we have made changes to the system so that an application is compensated and the internal chances of being selected in the next application is set to max to those who encounter this issue.
