Starting today, June 9, 2011 until June 28th all +10 stat foods purchased through the kafra shop will give +15 instead for the duration of the event. This applies to newly purchased food and the ones you already have so get out there and make sure to bring a spork, too!

Also beginning June 9, 2011 and running for the next two weeks, reset stones can now be traded. If you are buying one for a friend to reset or to bring along more people to the Overlook Dungeon, this is your lucky day! This is a test change, so we do appreciate your feedback.

Ben Recycle is also properly processing slotted Guards and will now take Stone Buckers in exchange for 2 rough elu and 2 rough ori so if you have some of these items that you would like to trade in, he can be found in his usual spot in Prontera.

Are you a guild leader who has too much common gear sitting around and nothing to do with it? Have you adventured the world over and find that your treasures have piled to the ceiling of your Kafra storage?

How about you recycle some of those goodies into Rough Elunium and Rough Oridecon?

In Prontera near the Monument of Cooperation you'll find Ben Recycle.

He can break down some common gears into Rough Stones which you can use for seal rolling, or combining together for upgrading!

**All participating teams will earn the USRC Headgear for all 7 team members; the USRC Headgear is a unique headgear that is only available by participating in the 2011 USRC.

Also to let you know how we are handling the characters. On Thursday we will be WIPING all character data from Sakray, and moving the characters (set to 1/1 novices) back to Training grounds. Those that are participating in USRC will need to login after Maintenance, but before Saturday's start of events, and set their characters up. No money, stat or skill reset services will be available, so what you end up with is what you will need to compete with in the tournament.

We will be recording all matches and live stream as many matches as we can. Depending on the number of teams participating we may run 1 or 2 matches at a time.

Thursday June 2nd 4pm we will be hosting a Streamed Q & A session about Ragnarok. If you want to view the stream just head to our Facebook page and use the button on the left side to view the stream.

If you want to ask a question please use Twitter and send a question by using "hashtag" #ROQ&AJune on Twitter. We hope to talk about some patches and our update plan, and any issues that are brought up by inquiring players!

USRC will use that same streaming method, and USRC signups close next Wednesday, so be sure to sign up your team today!

For many of us we have friends and family that have served in the Armed forces for their country. In the United States our day of remembering those people is on the Last Monday of May, which is May 30th this year. This is a day off from school and work for many of us, so we are going to extend our events a little to encompass this holiday.

The Lucky Box and Double Exp event will stay in place through Tuesday Morning May 31st. We will have a brief maintenances around 11am (about 15 minutes long) to turn off the May Lucky Pack and the Double Exp event.

Until then, please enjoy the Summoner Event, the Double EXP and the full drop rate regardless of level!
