Wiki › Items

Currency and materials

Crafting shards, essences, materials, fish and food.

Crafting currency changes an item, in your bags or one you are wearing: open crafting, pick the currency, then the item. A new property can be of any tier the item level allows, and a property asks for a hero level of four-fifths of its tier's item level. On a piece you are wearing, crafting rolls only properties you can already meet, so worn gear never comes to ask more of you than you have; in your bags a piece takes any tier its item level allows, for later.
