The keyword 'Trait Crafting' has emerged as a major spec upgrade method among adventurers who have established a method for obtaining Solant and reached level 50. Trait Crafting refers to opening traits and raising trait levels, which is a different equipment development method from leveling up equipment using Growth Stones.

Traits are additional stats that are randomly attached to equipment of Advanced grade or higher. Equipment acquired through field hunting, Lucky Pockets, or dungeon rewards basically has one trait. The maximum stage (Advanced 2 stages, Rare 3 stages, Heroic 4 stages) and the number of slots (Advanced 2, Rare~Heroic 3) vary depending on the equipment grade.

You can check which traits are attached by clicking on the equipment you have and then clicking on the magnifying glass icon. However, even if the equipment has the same equip slot, the trait list may vary depending on the material or weapon type.

All equipment is randomly assigned one of six traits upon acquisition. IfYou need equipment with the same name if you want to open additional trait slots.For this reason, Paola's Dimensional Rift equipment, which has relatively more acquisition opportunities than Lucky Pockets or field bosses, is easier to use for Trait Crafting.

To raise the trait level,Equipment with the same equip slot and traitis consumed as a material. Weapons can be used as materials as long as they have the same trait, even if they are of different types. For example, when raising the trait level of a magic wand, you can use a staff with the same trait as a material.

If you use equipment of the same grade as a material, you can raise the trait level with a 100% probability. It is also possible to use equipment that is one grade lower as a material, but the success rate is very low. If trait enhancement fails, the item used as a material disappears, and Blessing Points are accumulated according to the grade of the item you tried to enhance (Rare 8 points, Heroic 40 points).

Blessing Points are bonus stats that increase the trait enhancement probability. Rare equipment increases the success rate by 1% per point, and Heroic equipment increases the success rate by 1% per 5 points. Therefore, it is also possible to raise the trait level by accumulating Blessing Points while attempting Trait Crafting multiple times with lower-grade equipment. Note that Blessing Points are accumulated separately for each equip slot.

There comes a moment when you acquire equipment with excellent traits while playing the game. However, if it is difficult to replace the equipment immediately because the level of the equipment you are currently wearing is high, you can use the trait conversion function to change one trait to the trait possessed by the material equipment.

In the Equipment Enhancement - Trait window, select the original equipment and click the trait you want to change, and the trait conversion icon will appear on the right. To perform trait conversion, you need material equipment with the same name and 10 potions of conversion with the same equipment grade. The 'Superior Potion of Conversion' required for Advanced equipment conversion can be purchased 10 per day from the guild shop.

Rare and Heroic grade potions of conversion can be crafted through the weapon/armor/accessory merchants in each town. To create one higher-grade potion of conversion, you need five lower-grade potions of conversion. In other words, to use Rare and Heroic equipment conversion once, you need to purchase Superior Potions of Conversion steadily for 5 days and 25 days, respectively.

At this time, trait conversion needs to be done carefully. This is because the converted trait is fixed at level 1 regardless of the trait level of the material equipment. This means that if you perform trait conversion using a Rare equipment with a level 3 maximum health trait as a material, the replaced trait will be level 1 maximum health. Also, equipment that has undergone trait conversion becomes untradeable, so you should not rashly perform trait conversion unless it is equipment that you will use for a long time.

Among the functions related to equipment traits, extraction is to make equipment into a material exclusively for trait enhancement. To perform extraction, you need 10 Flames of Extraction with the same equipment grade. General goods merchants in each stronghold sell Advanced~Heroic Flames of Extraction, and based on a tax rate of 22%, it costs 559,170 Solant to extract Heroic equipment once.

Items that have been extracted cannot be returned to equipment that can be equipped again. At first glance, it is easy to think, 'Why should I spend a large amount of Solant to make equipment into a material?' However, the key to the extraction function is that untradeable equipment is converted into tradeable extracts.

Currently, equipment extracts are actively traded on the exchange in addition to complete items. In particular, extracts that many adventurers prefer are sold at very high prices, so if you acquire equipment, you should carefully examine the traits and decide whether to extract it.
