March 15 - April 11
With the alien invasion of Masteria comes a whole new way to power up your gear: the Alien Socket System. Just ask NPC Bo to drill a Socket into your item, and you'll be able to place a chunk of Nebulite -- a powerful alien ore -- into it to gain all sorts of new abilities.



Sometimes, you may not be happy with the power imbued in a particular chunk of Nebulite. That's where Alien Cubes come in. Alien Cubes randomly change a chunk of Nebulite's power to something new. In the process, there's a chance that the Nebulite will be upgraded to the next rank (D, C, B, or A--with A being the highest).


Alien Cube (1)
+ 1 Nebulite Diffuser Fragment NX 1,500


Use the Alien Cube to transform a chunk of Nebulite from ordinary to extraordinary.

• Nebulite powers stack with existing Potential, Enhancement, and Scroll upgrades.
• Each Alien Cube you use also creates a Nebulite Diffuser Fragment. Double-click on a stack of 10 fragments to obtain a Nebulite Diffuser, a tool that allows you to remove Nebulite from a piece of gear. Nebulite is destroyed in the process of being removed and cannot be reused.

Alien Work Bench Set NX 15,000 Alien Cube (11)
Includes 11 Nebulite Diffuser Fragments NX 15,000 Nebulite Diffuser Bonus

Check out the Alien Work Bench Set if you really want to take advantage of this new power. For NX 15,000, you'll get 11 Alien Cubes and a Nebulite Diffuser. That's like getting an Alien Cube and a Nebulite Diffuser for free!

Still a little fuzzy about the system? Learn more about the new Alien Socket system with the latest AcornStory!


These items can be found in the New section of the Event tab.

March 15 - March 28
Attention, master scrollers and cubers! Do you want more control when you upgrade you gear? Then you'll want to know about these two brand new scrolls! Introducing...the Perfect Innocence Scroll and the Guardian Scroll!



Perfect Innocence Scroll

Keep the Potentials, Wipe the Rest.Do you have an item with the perfect potentials on it but less than stellar upgrades? Use the Perfect Innocence Scroll to wipe the slate clean...without losing your potentials!


Perfect Innocence Scroll (1) NX 9,900
Here's how this scroll works:

• It has a 100\% rate of success.
• It clears all item upgrades without resetting potentials.
• It resets the Number of Upgrades Available stat.
• It resets the Number of Hammer Applied stat.
• It resets the Enhancements Applied stat.
• It resets evolving and growth items back to their pre-evolution and pre-growth stages.
• It cannot be used on Nebulite-infused items.

Guardian Scrolls

A Shielding Ward...for Scrolls!
Scrolling may be exciting, but it's also risky. Shielding Wards may keep your equipment safe, but what about that precious scroll that cost you a fortune? Fear no more: Guardian Scrolls keep your scroll safe and sound if a scrolling attempt fails!


Guardian Scroll (1) NX 3,000 Guardian Scroll (11) NX 30,000

• Drag and drop a Guardian Scroll onto the equipped item before scrolling it.
• Guardian Scrolls will be used up regardless of whether the upgrade scroll was successful.
• Guarding Scrolls can be used with Shielding Wards and Shield Scrolls! (Read on to find out what these two items do.)

These items can be found in the New section of the Event tab.

March 15 - March 28
Your weapon is so close to perfect. Why would you want to take unnecessary risks? Put your fears to rest with these two handy items.


Shielding Ward (1) NX 11,900 Shielding Ward (3) NX 31,900 Shielding Ward (11) NX 99,000
Guardian Scroll (11) NX 3,500 Guardian Scroll (11) NX 35,000
Shielding Wards protect your equipment from being destroyed by scrolls. (Not all scrolls have a chance to destroy your items. Read the scrolls carefully to find out if they do.)

• Drag and drop a Shielding Ward onto the equipped item before you start scrolling!
• Shielding Wards will be used up regardless of whether the upgrade scroll was successful.
• Shielding Wards cannot be used on items that have been successfully enhanced to twelve stars or more. (This limit was increased in the Legends update from the previous eight.)

Shield Scrolls, on the other hand, protect your equipment from having its "Available Upgrade" count reduced by a failed scroll.

• Drag and drop a Shield Scroll onto the equipped item before you start scrolling.
• Make sure that the item you want to protect shows that the Shield Scroll has been activated. Some items cant be protected with Shield Scrolls, so double-check!
• Shield Scrolls will be used up regardless of whether the upgrade scroll was successful.

You might want to protect items you really like with both a Shielding Ward and a Shield Scroll!

These items can be found in the Event section under the Event tab.

March 15 - April 4

[Joe]

I can get a lot of free alien cubes it seems :) Me gusta.

[Locked]

Temporary system? lol'd

[PirateIzzy]

Yay, 2x exp return again as a permanent addition (basically).
Shielding Wards, which are useless thanks to Protection Scrolls.
Shield Scrolls, aka White Scrolls.

[Zelkova]

Once again, the man with 40 accounts wins the race.

[rattown]

what scroll costs so much so, that the 3k nx price tag on them guardian scrolls becomes feasible ?

[Grey]

Heads up guys, if you wanna use a perfect innocence scroll, and probably by extension, any innocence scrolls, according to the notice, you can't use them on items with nebulites, and probably sockets as well.

You only get 1 Positive Chaos per character, Adel, they're 50%, and they take a while to get. I'd say that would merit a guardian scroll. There's probably other scrolls too.

[Killed]

Obviously Nexon doesn't know how many protection scrolls there are currently in circulation, or they're not aware of what protection scrolls do. Anyone who buys shielding wards anymore are either dumb as shit or have more morals than God himself.

This should still be confirmed, but I made it larger so idiots dont miss it.

[ChronosXIII]

Wait, what? So...shield scrolls are crappier versions of Pam's Songs?

Lol, Shielding Wards are ridiculously expensive still even though there's thousands upon thousands of duped Protection Scrolls in the market. Great foresight there.

[ShinkuDragon]

doubt you can't use it on socketed items, nebulite'd ones though, yep, can't.

THIS line right here, triggered my alarms though

there's a chance that the Nebulite will be upgraded to the next rank (D, C, B, or A--with A being the highest).

i don't like how that looks, i don't like it at all. so either they all grab from 2 pools, or this system is still not fully implemented, the SS showing 25% boss when the max is 35% also i don't like.

.... dude if it works with positive chaos scroll then ... wow .... the possibilities....
games up.

[SaptaZapta]

Note that it only prevents the scroll from being lost if it fails.
If the scroll works it is used up.

I don't see the problem? D ranked stuff can only take things from the D-stat table in iAmFear's thread. Same thing for C, B, and A

As for the SS, that's an A-ranked nebulite for weapons, and those can get 20% or 25% boss damage. You can't get 35% boss damage because that's part of the S-ranked stat table, and that nebulite is only an A rank. If you kept alien cubing it, you can get to a higher rank (like rare epic unique). They probably implemented S-rank now so they don't have to do it later. It's possible they just aren't telling us about S rank to make it a secret they want us to figure out for ourselves. Or it's just they'll have a super alien cube for 2.5k nx that lets A-rank go to S-rank nebulite, you can only use super alien cubes on S-rank nebulies, and super alien cubes give a greater chance of changing ranks than regular alien cubes.

not sure if srs, but that's exactly my problem.

[Kaasoljoyyx]

Is your problem that it's another cubing thing? I don't see a problem with the system working. Maybe you're referring to HOW the system works as a concept?

[ShinkuDragon]

my problem is that, from this it seems they've:

A) kept back part of the system, which implies that

B) rank S can only be obtained by alien cubes.

so yea, my problem is that this part is at least another cubing thing.

[Stereo]

My issue, I guess, is that if you un-slot a nebulite, you lose it, along with whatever alien cubes were used to create it.

It means you can never resell nebulites, unless you want to resell the entire item it's slotted on. So the only nebulites that are good to slot on endgame equips are endgame nebulites - if you go with 'second best' you'll eventually lose it and whatever it cost, if you decide to upgrade. And good luck trading your "perfect weapon with B rank nebulite" for anything more than "perfect weapon without nebulite" is worth.


Unique items: something like 1 in 1000 chance of appearance on potted drops
A,B rank nebulites: 1 in 1000 nebulite drops?
Hope not.

at 250 boxes inw ith pure D ranks, this is looking pretty bad.

and i agree, unless cubing them to S-rank is almost impossible, getting any other nebulite is a waste.

you can trade your %luk for someone's %str, but that'd be it.

How is that different than potential?
If I have nice Unique potential on my sword and decide to cube away from it in search of Legendary, I lose my old potential and all investment I made in it.
At least with this system you don't have to "cube away" until you have something better in hand.
