There are a lot of minor changes, but they mainly focus on Ouka's shop and the cost of recent parts in the shop.

• Ouka will now exchange [STR]/[TEC]/[WLK]/[FLY]/[TGH]Tune Material Alpha Cubes for 2000 points.
  
• The following Parts have had their prices changed in the shop:
  
• Tesladonna AM's can no longer be exchanged for points.
  
• Quests have been reset.
  
  • Needle Mole LG
    
  • Needle Mole HD
    
  • Needle Mole AM
    
  • High Priestol HD
    
  • High Priestol AM

The Onion War Campaign RT should be distributed shortly, by 19:00 CST. The second leg of the stored RT value campaign has started. The prize for this leg of the campaign is a Hermit's Robe Beta. The distribution of the Hermit's Robe Alpha has been pushed back to August 16. This does give you more time to qualify for first part while the second one is running. On the heels of this campaign comes several new ones. The first campaign rewards players who have more 150 RT, at any point from now to until August 30th 10:00 CST, with a Lucky RO Cube. This reaward apparently can be received multiple times. The second new campaign will reward anyone who levels up their Vanguard Axer up to level 10 with one of each type Tune Mat package alpha. This will also run until the 30th. Finally, The Welcome Back, Loyality, and New Player Campaign cubes have been extended once again until September 13 and the double login rewards return and will remain until October 11.

I think Axer Gara might be the first time I've seen a gara that looked good in CBTW.

Ouka will now exchange [STR]/[TEC]/[WLK]/[FLY]/[TGH]Tune Material Alpha Cubes for 2000 points.

^ SO MUCH WIN D:

I just bought on of those cubes and my worst fears were confirmed. They are "Lucky" cubes. They will randomly give you a set of materials you will need to do that type tune. For example, I got a FLY cube and received five stabilizers. They aren't worth it if you ask me.

a gamble for 3000 UC huh?

That would be closer to 8000UC.

Rather haz Falx over Axer. ._.

The worst news of this update...

And I have heard from some other people who told me that even her LG (or Crimrose N's knife, Lag kun's LG, etc.) is in fact untradable as well = =

The list of parts that will no longer be accepted at the point shop is a lot longer than what they listed in the update notes. I can confirm that only the Jikun BD is recyclable, the AM's, LG's, and BS's will just rot in your inventory. I am planning to add list of parts that aren't exchangeable, shorter (I hope) than a list of accepted parts, but I will definitely need community input on this. For the meanwhile, there is one RT part that I know of that you can buy for UC after you obtain them that has a decent point value.

Would you mean the Seiron parts maybe? It is UC obtainable in TW but it is really a RT bot.

I noticed that for some unknown reasons I can buy all the Seiron parts with UC in shop, but Suzeku's with RT only...
(I got both of them the same way, from UC gara)

I want to roll for DX Lily ROBO, but I'll probably end up rolling something like Double Magnet Gun
