Cosmetic Fusion System Update Guide December 2016
Fusing your favorite costumes has just gotten a lot easier! In this Cosmetic Fusion System Update, you can decide what you would like the outcome of your fusion to be. All cosmetic items, including back, face accessories, head/hat items, and body costumes are fused using the same tablet. Use this tablet to combine any normal cosmetic items together to create the type of costume you need!
Major Changes
- All cosmetic items now use the same tablet. No more Costume Fusion Tablet and Accessory Fusion Tablet distinctions.
- Existing Costume and Accessory Fusion Tablets are automatically updated to the new Cosmetic Fusion Tablet and have the same function as these new tablets!
- Existing Rune Maintain Slates have automatically been updated to the new Rune Fusion Charm and have the same function as these new charms!

PVP Attack and Defense Formula Update
We've adjusted how the PvP Attack and Reduction is caculated in order to help balance PvP and reduce the stat creep in the game. Previously, you would get a flat, linear increase to your PvP Attack and Reduction with each new rune and hone you were able to put onto your gear. This worked out well at level 50 when there was only so many PvP runeholes. Since the introduction of honing and purple runeholes, this availability increased by a lot without any change to the PvP stat. We are introducing a new way of calculating the stat that will give it diminishing returns if its stacked too high.
Here is how the new stat system should work:
This should allow you to get more PvP stats in the beginning, but you will reach a point where adding more will not be as effective anymore. You can still choose to stack it if PvP is your thing, you just won't be able to get at or above 100%.
