Item Crafting & Upgrading Guide

Welcome to the Item Crafting & Upgrading Guide for GemstoneRO. This guide will help you understand the process of crafting and upgrading your items, making them more powerful and useful in your adventures.

Item crafting allows you to create various items, weapons, and equipment. Here’s how it works:

To craft items, you will need specific materials. These materials can be obtained from:

• Monsters: Some monsters drop crafting materials when defeated.
• Quests: Complete certain quests to receive crafting materials as rewards.
• Shops: Some materials can be purchased from NPCs or players.

Make sure to gather the required materials before visiting a crafting NPC.

In GemstoneRO, crafting NPCs can be found in major cities such as Prontera, Geffen, and Payon. These NPCs will allow you to craft a variety of items, including:

• Weapons
• Armor
• Accessories
• Consumable Items

To craft an item, speak to the crafting NPC and provide the required materials. If you have all the necessary components, the NPC will craft the item for you.

The success rate of crafting depends on several factors:

• Crafting Difficulty: Some items are more difficult to craft than others, reducing the success rate.
• Luck: Luck can play a role in crafting success. Always be prepared for possible failure.

If crafting fails, the materials used in the attempt will be lost, so craft wisely!

Upgrading items is a way to increase their power, making them more effective in battle. Here’s how the upgrading process works:

To upgrade your items, visit an Upgrade NPC in cities like Prontera or Payon. These NPCs will help you enhance your equipment using Upgrade Stones.

The key to upgrading is Elunium (for armor) and Oridecon (for weapons). These stones can be obtained from:

• Monster Drops
• Quests
• Purchasing from other players

These stones are required for upgrading specific types of equipment.

Upgrading items comes with a risk. The higher the upgrade level, the lower the success rate. Here are some key points to remember:

• Upgrading from +1 to +4: Always successful.
• Upgrading from +5 to +10: Risk of failure. If you fail, the item will break and be lost forever.
• Safe Upgrading: Use Safe Upgrade Certificates to protect your item from breaking. These certificates can be obtained through special events or from the cash shop.

Upgraded items gain additional stats that increase their effectiveness in battle. Here are the benefits:

• Weapons: Increased attack power with each successful upgrade.
• Armor: Increased defense with each successful upgrade.

The maximum upgrade level is +10, after which no further upgrades are possible.

• Gather materials in advance: Always keep an eye out for crafting materials while hunting monsters or completing quests.
• Use Safe Upgrade Certificates: If you’re upgrading valuable gear, use certificates to prevent breaking.
• Consider the risk: Upgrading is a gamble, so only upgrade items that you are willing to risk losing.

Crafting and upgrading items in GemstoneRO is a great way to strengthen your character. Whether you're creating new gear or upgrading your favorite weapons, this system offers plenty of opportunities to enhance your equipment.

Good luck with your crafting and upgrading, and may fortune favor you!
