Artisan Station
The Artisan Station is used to modify Vault gear and weapons by spending the item’s Crafting Potential and paying material costs in Vault Plating and Vault Bronze (respects the Coin Pouch). Different Foci perform different types of reforges or upgrades. Most actions consume Crafting Potential. When it reaches zero you can go into negative Potential, but the plating and bronze costs scale exponentially.
Usage
- Place a piece of Vault gear/weapon into the station.
- Insert the desired Focus (which can be infinitely stored there).
- Insert Vault Plating / Vault Bronze).
- Apply to consume Crafting Potential, Plating and Bronze.
- Notes
- Costs scale with the Focus used and crafting potential left, exact numbers vary.
- Some foci only reroll existing lines, others add, improve, freeze, or even corrupt. (More information about Foci here.
- Crafting Potential management is critical, powerful sequences of Foci can drain it quickly.
Recommended Crafting Flows
- Early/Mid Game (efficient, “good enough” gear)
- Use Nullifying, Wild, and Amplifying to arrive at a decent set of affixes.
- If only one side is weak, touch up with Waxing (prefixes) or Waning (suffixes).
→ Produces solid gear with modest costs; rarely perfect.
- Late Game (high-end, near-perfect)
- Use Cryonic to freeze best-in-slot/legendary lines.
- Upgrade item with Adaptive (level sync) or Pyretic (rarity up).
- Fix base durability with Resilient.
- Reforge Implicits with Fundamental.
- Add missing must-have lines with Faceted.
- Push values with Chaotic / Empowered Chaotic.
→ Expensive but yields near-perfect pieces.
- High-Risk Gamble
- Use Vorpal to corrupt the gear. Potentially amazing, or destroys the piece.
