Alright, I have question about special ability affixing.

Once you've unlocked a special ability by +35-ing an NT weapon, will the transfer rate of that specific special ability, let's say Modulator, remain forever 100% no matter what, even if you decide to transfer it from weapon to weapon to weapon ad infinitum in the future?

The thing is, I want to do some pre-affixng on my +35 L&K38Combat, however, I'm afraid that once I put Modulator on it, it will become a "normal" Modulator affix that is subject to the "normal" Modulator affixing transfer rate, meaning that, if I want to do further affixing on my weapon (to get to the final affix), I need to get my hands on 2 more Modulator fodder just to keep it. If this is indeed the case, then I'll just prep everything beforehand, and put everything on my weapon in one go.

Once an affix is on a weapon it becomes your average affix, no special treatment. Meaning yes, you will need 2 more copies of modulator in that example

^Aright, man, thanks for your response, and it's a good thing I asked.

I'll affix everything in one go.

Edit:

Actually, I just tested how Special Ability Factors work (after reading swiki) by buying a cheap random maxed-out NT weapon with its Special Ability Factor unlocked, and doing some experimental affixing.

When using it as a Base Weapon (affixing), its Special Ability Factor will always intrinsically remain forevermore with a transfer rate of 100% (unless one is up-slotting). However, if one uses it as a fodder for another weapon, then that Special Ability Factor becomes a "normal" affix with a "normal" transfer rate, in other words, the affix loses its "Special" status.

Alright, now I understand.

when I convert ray units to union units, do I lose the affix and grind levels?

No. 5char

[suzaku0zero0]

No. 5char

so the grind level and affix remain on the union? how about ring effect?

[Arada]

You get the exact same unit but with a new name and updated stats.

Affix, grind, ring all stay the same.

Any rough estimate on when we will be able to download newest patch from the official launcher?

Can you update the game (via tweaker) during maintenance? And is it advisable to do so? Since the update is 1.7gb I want to finish it asap during maintenance instead of updating the game once the server goes up.

Yes, you can. Game patches are always pushed out before the server comes back online, so you can connect as soon as they do. I don't know when the Tweaker has the update available, but the official launcher usually has it about 3 hours before the end of maintenance.
