This was promised as part of 3.0....

at this point, the hope is that it will come at 4.0....

I'm reading Chinese 8 gate related news and can't find anything mentioning its removal. How exactly did you get this news? Were you unable to find it on your character? Maybe they changed the interface? Also which site specifically? Because there are a couple.

On a side note, atk, life, nin red will cost 128k practice pt while rest 80k. That's some expensive shist... There does not appear to be higher tier quick ones.
