Greetings, Descendants.

With today’s Hotfix 1.2.8, the rewards for Continuous Operation II in the Kate’s Experiment: Call of the Flame event have been updated as previously announced.

However, we have identified that if you completed Continuous Operation II before applying the update, you may have received the ‘Flutter’ spawn item via in-game mail instead of the updated reward. For affected Descendants, the incorrect item will be retrieved, and the updated reward will be reissued accordingly.

We sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Further details will be provided in a separate notice.

Thank you.
