At present, the current rental equipments are largely unused afaik. Countless cheaper and permanent alternatives are available for the accessories and the weapon balance between each weapons is completely off. Making only 2 or 3 rental weapons worth buying and the rest as nothing more than empty space. Wizard don't even get a rental weapon at the moment and they're the ones who need that extra bonus.
On one hand, you have a rental Executioner 2h sword. An awesome sword if I do say so myself, high attack, no level requirement, godly effect. Then you have a refined Ashura... Barely better than the original and can't measure up to an eden dagger. Not only that, it only lasts 7 days and costs more than the big selling consumables.
Note: Siegfried box sells for around 8m at 100p and rental weapons are 250p for 7 days and half of them can't compete with Eden Group equipment (and can't be sold).

Suggestions for Rental Weapons:
-Increase the duration that refined weapons can be used for from 7 days to 15 days (at least). This will make up for the currently higher price.
-Add Refined Brocca, Refined Excalibur, Refined Mighty Staff, Refined Bloody Axe, Refined Great Axe, Refined Survivor's Rod, Refined Muramasa, Refined Quadrille and Refined Infiltrator/Bloody Roar.
-Depending on the overall effectiveness of the weapons, rental times and costs could be varied. (E.g. an R-Pole Axe could be 125p for 30 days and an R-Brocca could be 250p for 15 days)
-Gunslinger and Ninja class recieve no rental items aside from the failed R-Ashura. Perhaps creating new ones for them would make it easier. New players who choose to play gunslinger or ninja will always have trouble obtaining their weapons due to their high cost, rarity and vend overpricing of nub equipments. A cheap rental alternative will get them started and bring in a fair profit for WP.


Rental Accessories:
I bring up the same problem with duration for the accessories. Never mind that when these items were first introduced, they were the top accessories, however with the time since, they've fallen into disuse as a result of the bradium accessories and various other equipments that don't run out. The price of one of the accessories could be invested into consumables or other cash shop items that can be sold to buy any of the better alternatives that are permanent and can be sold. Cheaper yet, is to buy an equivalent accessory with a +3 stat card in it that matches it. The only real bonus that you get from the current refined accessories is the level restriction.

Accessory Suggestions:
-Increase the duration to 30 days for all accessories.
-Add the Refined Vesper Cores. They are weaker than the real thing, but the level & trans requirement make them more useful than the current rental accessories on account of their extra effects.
-Add the Refined Spiritual Ring. A useful addition to mage class, something that they seem to need these days. It's only slightly better than the original.


Rental Armors:
There isn't any. 'nuff said. In any case, there should be some, and there's quite a list to choose from. Including shields, footgears and garments:
-Refined Cloak of Survival
-Sylph Manteau
-Neo Muffler
-Old Green Pantie (lol)
-Recuperative Armor
-Spiritual Tunic
-Cracked Buckler
-Neo Valkyrja's Shield
-Refresh Shoes
Note: All the items listed are real items. All are rental items either from iRO sometime or more likely, kRO. There's also the freya set of rental equipments, though i'm sure they're to imba to EVER be made available here.
