This FAQ is not directly associated with The Reincarnation (Project X) ,or its administrators. Information provided within is provided "as is", and while we (the researchers, and compiler alike) attempt to keep the information as accurate as possible we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy due to the frequency of updates to the game at the time of this compilation, as well as the rare occassion that there may be a situation that fell outside of our testing that returns different results (a situation like this has yet to occur, but it is a remote possibility).
