So I have a [ B ] Lesser Nebulite (DEX) in my inventory. I don't remember how it got there, and searching for it on maple.fm, Google, reddit, and these forums seems to say I'm the only person who has one. Is this a broken Nebulite I somehow got?

    Oh wow, this is hilarious.

    When Accuracy and Avoidability were removed from the game, the nebulites that used to have those stats got DEX/%DEX instead. But they didn't get the full 4% or +4, they got 1%-2% (for an [A] neb!) and +1 or +2 (for B ).
    People complained and it was reported as a bug, that there are [A] nebs with just 2% DEX when it should be 3-4%.
    And this is apparently Nexon's solution: put the word "Lesser" in the item name so there will be no confusion between "real" [A] %DEX nebs and "trash lesser" [A] %DEX nebs. And same for B.

    Beautiful.

    [A] ones are called Depleted.

    I feel a better idea would have been to remove them from the loot table rather than add in more keywords.

    Heyo,

    Renaming nebs are intended and a work in progress. The idea is to allow nebs to be easier to identify between grades.

    Do you mean there will be a difference in names between 3% and 4% as well, and not just these busted up DEX nebs that shouldn't even exist anymore.

    Removing them from the loot table is a good idea, but there'd still be crappy nebs in circulation.

    Wait... So they renamed the Nebulites that were broken instead of fixing them?

    Actually Lesser Nebulites and Depleted Nebulites are both a thing.

    There's the highest stat Nebulite which has no prefix, Lessers Nebulites which is middle of the two (used to be lowest), and now Depleted Nebulites which used to be a different stat entirely but now gives the lowest stat of whatever it is now.
