• Upon clearing battlefront stage 20—1, both Origin Mold and Keepsake Transcension Stone will appear in the General Shop and Guild Shop.
• The EXP and set effect of the keepsake you wish to transcend will be carried over after Transcension.
  • Since the EXP required to level up Origin Keepsake is higher than the EXP required to level up Eternal+ grade Keepsake, the Keepsake level will be lowered even when the EXP is carried over.

• In conclusion, every Epic Soul consumed during steps when the same type is required will be converted into Rare Soul’s Memory during the reset.
