jRO Renewal Differences

There’s a lot of uncertainty related to what Japan did with the renewal update, and how it compares to our current renewal.  This post is made to clarify these differences.  If something is not listed, such a flee, hit, defense, etc, it means it is not substantially different from the renewal we have.

However, players were still anxious to get their hands on the equipment that was exclusive to battlegrounds. Their solution to this problem was the ‘Link System’.
