Additionally, recovery measures for unfair gains obtained through abnormal gameplay were carried out as follows.
 ■ Recovery Details- Transcendent Weapons and Base Quality EXP acquired through abnormal gameplay have been retrieved.- In cases where acquired Transcendent Weapons were dismantled, the Transcendent Trait Elements obtained through dismantling have been retrieved.
