  1. => … and WEXP exchanging are doubled (compare to existing)

    Does this mean …

    1. Save all the current WEXP till EP 10 is released? i.e. current “one” wexp is worth “twice” the value
    2. Spend wexp asap before EP 10 is released ? i.e. current “one” wexp is worth “half” the value

    Also – do we still get the 20% boost in crystal damage or are they planning to take it off ?

    1. Amount of Skill EXP compensated from Quests and WEXP exchanging are doubled (compare to existing)

      ==> You will get more Skill EXP (doubled) from quests and exchanging from WEXP

      No, 20% boost for Crystal is permanent

      1. oh nvm, the wexp exchange is for skills only. 😦 (kind of useless)

        Let me annoy you with another question, how does astral buff apply to FA ? (I saw your fb post earlier, are they exclusive to fb only ? ) or do they apply to ALL “Force” related classes ? i.e. Astral Buff also gives FA 15% rate and CD depending on weapon grade.

        in short, is there any change of Astral Buff for FA ?
