Players who acquire the [Owner-bound Deletion Pass] from the EXCube Exchange Shop, will be able to unbind their equipment right from Dudu & Monica at the Item Lab! Take note, as performing this action will reset your crafted equipment for both Weapon Extensions and Timed Abilities.
※ Equipment unbinding is available for ★11 items and below.
