What will happen to all our old mats after RISE?

Most veterans have plenty of level 80 and below mats stockpiled for expertise and other reasons, but they are all getting replaced by other mats to make it "less confusing" for new players or something. The recipes will obviously change too, so does that mean our stockpiled mats all become useless? The logical thing to do would be to have a script convert all the old mats to the new ones, but you know, this is derpcat we are talking about so they probably didn't think that far ahead...

Also it seems weird that if the rise update is coming here soon, we still have no word from Nexon NA about it...

    theyll probably just become useless kindling for the incinerator. theyve done similar things in the past. for example, i still have a pair of mist runner boots on lann, even though it isnt a quest anymore. enhance stones will still be craftable into higher tiers, and a lot of items are moving over to expertise

    IIRC, there was a time when one of the nightmare light sets got changed and the old helmet (or one of the other pieces) suddenly didnt count for the set bonus anymore (therefore, useless). I was able to get a GM to fix it, but I doubt that's do-able for converting all your old mats to the new ones...

    We are talking about a potentially large number of mats that all suddenly become useless, which would be very unfair to veterans.

    Hopefully when it goes live on KR we will get more info on how its handled over there...

    i still have an expired storage tab with a few old mats like quiremigal shell. i'd imagine a similar process is coming. all in all, it's a good change to cut down on clutter. if you dont want them to be wasted, craft with them now.

    tangentially related: will our current inherited power fragments and sealed power fragments be used for 95 synthesis?

    A friend who can read korean answered my question. All the old mats aren't converted (because derpcat is lazy). KR players didn't get compensated for their lak mats or whatever becoming useless. The only thing you can do with the old mats is npc/incinerate.

    Make sure to use up all your old mats before the RISE update hits guys.
