Low Rate Mode

Right at the beginning, after creating a new character, NPC Lunos will ask if you want to play with reduced rates to receive a drop rate buff of up to 50%.

Choose the second option.

Insert 1 to receive up to 50% drop rate buff.

Note: if you choose 2 or more, the drop rate buff will be reduced (logarithmic function applies).

You can change the rate as long as you are a level 1/1 Novice/Doram.
The buff will be removed as soon as you change the EXP rates at any point, even after reaching level 250.

The drop rate buff reaches its full potential at level 250. The effect increases with base levels up to the rate's limit.
You can use @rates to check your bonus.

This bonus does NOT affect card drops.
