How do Refund Vials Work and how much do they cost?

[aphrodite]

im wondering how they work exactly....i used a few int refunds, and it won't let me use anymore =/ but i still have like 80 int on my main =.= so its not possible for me to make it +0 int from +80?
also, how much did they cost, prior to the event

[chocomog]

were 500-800k each on silkyon before the event for the good ones...

ill take a shot at this, but im not too sure so someone comfirm/reject.

Int refunds would take away the int that you got from growth vials (not the +int you see!). It wont get rid of the natural int that you have, only the int that you got from growth vials

[LtKillroy]

That makes sense, otherwise eventually, if someone sat and played for months (its an MMO, they do) they could eventually get "perfect" stats that would give them a huge advantage over everyone else who didn't sit there for months. So I doubt it.

Yeah I'm not getting something either here.

At level 78 or so I was trying to decrease my str, which was at +75 from growth vials.

It said NO. The example it gives is that you can only remove as many as your level of points. Unless it's mislabeled and removes only DOWN to your level max (e.g. if my +str was +80 it would take it below 78)

still dun get it :S how would u obtain perfect stats w/ the maximum of like this many points off :S i used like 10 int refund >.> and my int is like +80 and i can't use anymore, i originally had 110, used 10 refunds 60 int, then got 4 ints using growth
arietta, the + int r the vials, the rest is ur base int =/

It was mis labeled. I just tested this last night after hording a bunch of the vials.

You can only reduce a stat to the same level that merc is. So if you are level 90 and your Merc has +85 Int, you can't remove any of it.

Which means unless you're lucky at only got 30 int on your melee merc, the max you can 'perfect' your character is quite limited. (Which is kinda good so you can't have super max vit mercs and also makes it so you don't need so many vials for your whole team.)

lol..so you're obliged to spam them asap before you get higher level. Only works out great if you started with some horrible luck +200 str on a range.

[aphrodite]

thanks alot lol =] i was wondering how it worked >=D but wth... im lvl 62... how come i can't use anymore int >.>

btw choco, u said good ones, u mean like int and dex? all i know is that vit refund is bad cuz vit is good, rest... which r good?

[chocomog]

i consider the str and dex ones to be the good ones, as str is totally useless for a range and dex is totally useless for a melee.

[Ferishi]

Spamming them ASAP is more to save on using MID Growth vials instead of ADV Growth vials than going for optimum potential. You'd have to be pretty darn lucky to not have near +100 STR on a staff user by the time you reach level 100 and chugged all those growth vials anyways, I think.

Thx everyone for clearing this up. I better use those vial before I lv up anymore and pray i finaly get a stat i need.
