During this version, an event is running that allows you to reset your artifact refinement count. Upon logging in after the update, you will receive one free reset ticket. Afterward, completing a 3-day login mission each week will grant you two additional tickets. In total, you can perform three resets in the first week and two per week thereafter.

To clarify, a 'refinement count reset' allows you to further refine an artifact that was previously upgraded from level 78 to level 100, enabling it to reach level 120. It does not mean you can revert a level 120 artifact back to level 100, so be careful not to confuse the two.

The original purpose of this feature was to address the issue where gear like 'Burning Curse' or 'Obsidian' sets, which were already refined to level 100, could not be further upgraded to level 120. However, with new class-specific artifacts already released and further buffs applied, many veteran players are already transitioning to newer gear, leading to the consensus that resetting older artifacts is largely pointless.

So, is the refinement reset event useless? Not necessarily. The most efficient strategy currently discovered by players is to craft a new artifact at level 78, refine it to level 100, reset the refinement count, and then perform a second refinement to reach level 120.

While new artifacts obtained via dungeon farming are exclusively level 120, they can be crafted at level 78 or 100. By combining crafting with this event, you can create a level 78 'Designer Helmet,' then upgrade it sequentially to level 100 and 120.

Although this process is significantly more tedious than crafting or farming level 120 gear directly, it has the advantage of allowing you to acquire high-level artifacts without additional costs. This is because crafting level 78 artifacts requires only fragments, not recipes. You can dump your excess fragments into crafting level 78 artifacts, and if you roll good stats, you can upgrade them to level 120.

Since you likely have excess fragments you cannot use due to a lack of blueprints, this is a low-risk strategy—if you get a good piece of gear, great; if not, you can simply dismantle it to recover materials for refinement reset tickets.

The downside is that you cannot 'snipe' specific stats, as level 78 crafting does not allow you to use Optical Prisms to designate main or sub-stats. Because there is no guarantee you will get the stats you want, it is more efficient to craft armor, gloves, necklaces, or earrings rather than helmets, shoes, bracelets, or rings, as the latter categories have a much wider pool of potential main stats.
