Skills and crafting

Skill progression, alchemy, gem recipes, weapon upgrades and manufacturing.

Skills

The table shows skill-progress thresholds, not a fixed number of successful actions. Progress earned depends on the skill, action and server XP settings. Unused progress can carry over after a skill increase. Character stats also limit skill training; see Character Development.

For current mastery s<100, the next threshold is Q(s+1), where

Q(t)=10+t+t2/10.

The first skill increase in a progress update needs more than the listed threshold. Further increases in that update need at least their listed thresholds. Mastery is capped at 100.

Current skill % Next threshold (progress units)

10 33

Alchemy

Alchemy creates potions by mixing ingredients in an Alchemy Bowl, available from the shop. Open the bowl, select the recipe, supply the displayed ingredients, and create the potion. Cosmetic potions cycle the selected appearance.

Restoration amounts are nominal and cannot exceed missing health, mana or stamina. Xelima reduces health-potion restoration.

Gem wares

Gem wares are intermediate crafting materials with a purity value.

Ware Ingredients
Diamondware 1 Crystal; 2 Diamond
Crystalware 3 Crystal
Rubyware 1 Crystal; 2 Ruby
Emeraldware 1 Crystal; 2 Emerald
Sapphireware 1 Crystal; 2 Sapphire

Magic gems

After a successful craft, purity is based on the eligible input wares. A single Stone of Merien contributes 100% purity. Take the average, rounded down, then calculate the lower base:

A=(p1++pn)/n,B=4A/5.

If AB>0, add a uniformly selected integer from 1 through AB, including both endpoints. Otherwise the result remains B. Thus a positive average produces final purity from B+1 through A, inclusive.

For the example inputs 80%, 85%, 95% and 100%, the average is 90%, the lower base is 72%, and the remainder is 18%. Final purity is therefore 73% through 90%, inclusive.

Magic gem Ingredients Equipped effect
Magic Diamond 1 Crystalware; 2 Diamondware; 1 Stone of Merien (P+1)/5 physical and magical Hit Ratio; 20 at 100% purity.
Magic Ruby 1 Crystalware; 2 Rubyware; 1 Stone of Merien (P+1)/5 HP recovery bonus; 20 at 100% purity.
Magic Emerald 1 Crystalware; 2 Emeraldware; 1 Stone of Merien (P+1)/10 Magical Absorption bonus; 10 at 100% purity.
Magic Sapphire 1 Crystalware; 2 Sapphireware; 1 Stone of Merien (P+1)/10 Physical Absorption bonus on armor hit locations; 10 at 100% purity.

Here P is the gem’s stored purity.

Armor gems

Gems fit equipment sockets. Eligible manufactured armor has up to 2 sockets, depending on completion. Vortex Gems create a socket on eligible statted armor with no existing sockets. Use the table below for Vortex gem bonuses.

Weapon upgrades

Ordinary stone-upgraded weapons, including manufactured weapons, have a maximum of +7. Special majestic weapons use separate rules.

A failed attempt while an ordinary weapon is already +3 or higher lowers it by 1; the item is not destroyed by that failure. Thus +2 is the failure floor. The corresponding existing-upgrade threshold for rare weapons is +5.

These are rounded success chances per eligible stone-upgrade attempt for nonrare melee weapons and bows. Manufactured weapons have the same chances. Binary floating-point and the inclusive random threshold introduce tiny differences from exact decimal percentages.

Attempt Normal chance (rounded) Manufactured chance (rounded)
+0 → +1 35% 35%
+1 → +2 28% 28%
+2 → +3 23% 23%
+3 → +4 18% 18%
+4 → +5 15% 15%
+5 → +6 13% 13%
+6 → +7 12% 12%

Expected Stone of Xelima consumption

For repeated eligible attempts under the independent-roll model, let pn be the exact success probability for upgrading from n1 to n, and En the expected stones for that step:

En={1/pn,n3,(1+(1pn)En1)/pn,n4.

The cumulative expectation from an unupgraded weapon is Tn=k=1nEk. Normal and manufactured nonrare weapons share the table. Counts are rounded to 2 decimals and are expectations, not guarantees; invalid attempts and separate special upgrade systems are excluded.

Target upgrade Expected stones for this step Expected stones from +0
+1 2.86 2.86
+2 3.57 6.43
+3 4.35 10.78
+4 25.36 36.14
+5 150.39 186.53
+6 1014.12 1200.65
+7 7445.25 8645.90

For ordinary primary player physical attacks, the equipped weapon’s flat upgrade contribution is added after the base-damage stage and any applicable Berserk multiplier, before later combo additions, damage multipliers and mitigation. See Combat for the qualified physical-damage sequence.

See equipment basics and Dark Knight, Mage and Hero items.
