    Hello Royallers,

    Some of you may recall us posting a similar announcement about Glimmerman changes last year. This announcement is to serve as a reminder that the changes are still due to occur, and to inform those who may not have been aware of the forthcoming changes.

    As you may know, we have been working hard for the past two years on a new source code for the game, which is due to be released very soon. The new source will bring a lot of changes to the game, and one of these changes will be to the way Glimmerman items are crafted.

    The new source will include GMS-like versions for all the Masteria exchange quests. This includes exchange quests for iTCG Sets 1, 2, 3, as well as the Raven Ninja Clan exchange quests in Phantom Forest. Because of this, the recipes for the currently craftable iTCG items will be changed appropriately, and the below changes will be made to make the transition as smooth as possible.

    The changes below will occur no earlier than the 16th November 2016.
    • iTCG Forging Manuals will be removed from inventories and the player refunded with 1,000,000 mesos for each one. So if you currently own a forging manual that you plan to use, you should do so before the aforementioned date.
    • iTCG Forging Manuals will be removed from Gachapon.
    • All iTCG items including the new items required for recipes will be redistributed in Gachapon.
    • Black Versal Materia items will be replaced with Taru Totem items in player inventories.
    • Stone Tiger Head items will be deleted from inventories.
    • Pharaoh Wrapping items will be replaced with Stone Tiger Head items.
    Thank you again for your patience while we work to create a more enjoyable game for you all.

    So.. I read this thread and realized that the manuals were the ones being refunded instead of the items I've been hoarding ever since the last announcement. Rip 100m+ from dropped manuals. Not worth hiding in Latest Failures thread though. I need to learn how to read. :(

    Hi @Matt, so since Pharaoh Wrapping Items are being replaced with Stone Tiger Head Items and Stone Tiger Head Items are being deleted, does this mean that essentially Pharaoh Wrapping Items are also being deleted?

    No it happens in two steps:
    - Delete Stone Tiger Heads
    - Replace Wrappings with Stone Tiger Heads

    Are the New Forging Manuals going to be tradable now?

    That's really cool. Are these the only changes that will be made in the next patch?

    Other than the manuals getting a refund, will there be anything happening to the stimulators as well?

    So what about people with stone tiger heads?

    They aren't worth much but deleting them without reimbursement is absurd...

    They are still gach items...

    Just because it is a Gachapon item doesn't mean it is valuable or that players should be reimbursed. There are tons of Gachapon items that players obtain and instantly throw away because they are worthless and a waste of space. Gachapon would be incredibly overpowered if every item received was worth at least the equivalent of the ~1k NX spent on the ticket.

    It will happen when you least expect. It will happen when you have all the items needed to make the them.

    I've been holding manuals since the announcement. My etc slots are suffocating and I try to avoid nlc gach ...
