  If mana crystallization versions of spells were weaker but behaved differently to standard magic (like it already kind of does with IS not reducing in damage upon chain) then I think there could be a use for it.

  And all those I-frames.

  Pointing this out since it might have gotten buried or forgotten, but the prefix is impossible to enchant, and the suffix is a nightmare to ench as well. I'd almost think these would have Enchant enabled regardless, but knowing their source is likely the hardest part of Alban Knights, would anybody be able to find out if that's the case or not?

  IIRC r8 well-groomed is one of those accessories that come from 20th birthdays isn't it? That'd be an r8 bridge. Also, there's still a couple "cheap" basic accessories floating around.
  
  The second one isn't so bad if you're enchanting on a pre-r1 accessory that already has cornflower on it.
  
  Edit: The suffix is actually r7, not r6 as suggested earlier, so it's easier still to enchant.

  Not really.
  
  Swarming is still a good place holder for gauntlets since they can't have Camo, provided that you don't have Back-Breaking.
  
  Also, for people who use Taunes with shitty balance on the weapon, swarming is still one of the ways you can pull your balance up to 80. It's also worth mentioning that swarming is still much easier to enchant.

  Even though renovation is mostly over, I'm surprised they didn't put all the archery skills into ranged tab, because it'd be extremely convenient and just left the Close Combat cluttered with archery skills.
  
  I know they're working on ninja as their next update for Korea... But hopefully G20 after.

  Since they made sword mastery give strength and they are revamping crossbows, Are they going to make crossbow mastery give dex instead of will?

  ... Did they really change that? I've heard something about some mastery getting a stat change but no tester actually confirmed it.

  Skillleveldescription still shows sword mastery as giving dex and not str. If they did change it, they didn't include that change in the package files.
  
  Also, again, Renovation is over, they are not updating Archery anymore.
  
  I personally hope they don't change the stats they give. I liked how ranking one skillset might give you some stats that help influence the damage of another skillset, that was one of the things that attracted me to Mabinogi when I first joined. Instead of a crappy system where they give you 3~10 stats and don't adequately explain what they do and put you at pressure to allocated a limited amount of stat points to a few stats, in which either all stats are important for some reason but you don't know which to do in what order (most RPGs) or some stats are just completely useless to you (MapleStory). Mabi handles that for you and lets you pick a loosely defined skillpath and still benefit in one skillpath when you start working on another.

  I seconded this, I like ranking some skills that give stats even if they don't really make sense lol.
  
  Like I said in my last post, I hope they'll focus on G20 soon, it's been a while since they did G19, and they don't need to put in more things that will take them few months to complete without balancing on updates between generations.

  It technically makes sense since Dex = Balance and Will = Critical, which is what swords and xbows, respectively, specialize in.
  
  But hey I'll take any stat given to me.
  
  The only thing that really made no sense was Rest giving negative will. I'm glad that was removed.

  And now I care about ranking Rest. Wiki says I missed this update by over 2 years, welp.
