Currently, when items are upgraded to +16 Add. Option, the Zen cost to repair them increases drastically, making it economically unviable for most players. In fact, over 90% of users choose not to upgrade their equipment to +16 specifically due to the excessive repair costs.
Those who do upgrade end up suffering from severe Zen depletion, especially in PvM scenarios that require frequent item repairs.
The intent behind this suggestion is not to discourage upgrades, but rather the opposite — to encourage players to aim for +16 without being penalized economically for doing so.
Proposed Solution: Implement a configuration or option that allows server administrators to reduce the Zen cost of repairing items at +16, or to scale the cost more gradually, preventing the current exponential spike.
This change would enhance late-game progression and balance, without impacting game economy negatively — especially in low or mid-rate servers where Zen management is already challenging.
