Liar Tree Sap 100%

These noses aren't exactly common, I imagine there was an elapsed time between the extraction and when someone noticed it. As for me, I don't usually look at equipments, especially back then; I was more concerned with monsters, quests, whatever could possibly give some clues for NLC. When they were released in Gachapon, I remember there was quite a big to-do about them because they were untranslated. It was pretty obvious they shouldn't have been out yet. Again, at the time there weren't many active K/JMSers to say, "Hey, isn't that supposed to be an event item?" It may have even been added to the data during that awkward stage after Rick disappeared but before Fiel or myself or anyone else had stepped up to fill the void. If that's the case, it's no wonder we didn't catch it. It's also possible that no one made the connection between the nose the came out of Gach and the nose that showed up in the extraction since the one in the extraction was labeled as "time limited" and the ones in game don't show that. That's why I point to the Liar Saps as an important clue, because this is the only way to prove invariably in-game that these two apparently distinct items are one and the same.

Thank you.

As far as what Nexon will do, they'll probably quietly remove it from gachapon and that'll be the end of it. I don't imagine they'll announce about it or anything. I guess the other possibility is that they could make an exchange NPC and, once the event is over, render the permanent gachapon noses unwearable (level 201 requirement or 999 of all stats or something). This would force the people with such noses to go to the exchange NPC and turn in the glitched Nose for a regular level 40 Branch Nose. Don't think it's likely, but it could happen.

The same thing happened when whatever version got their Zhelm 1's removed, if I can recall correctly...

Last one: could Nexon always delete the items directly? O_o
