I have a few questions and if anyone can answer with accurate info (not speculation), that'd be great. I'm at work and running copies so I just kind of sitting here lol. Anyways, I've read the update but still a bit unsure...

>I've got an Exalted Vell's Heart - will that combine with a destruction stone without having to first remove the soul fragment?

>After a Vell and alchemy stone of a lower level is combined - example: Vell+Resplendent - can it be enhanced in the alchemy UI to the next level without separating them beforehand to enhance just the Resplendent?

>Once a Vell/Khan is combined with another alchemy stone that can go with it, if it is of a lower level, will it use the same an ancient anvil amount as listed in the update (2, 5, 30, 80, 250)?

That's all the questions I have at the moment. Thanks!

Based on quendya video proof, after combining you can upgrade the alch stone with the required materials

2 5 30 80 250 are the pitty anvil

Just have a look at quendya recent video and you'll understand better

Ah, thanks! He's usually pretty quick with info about updates - didn't think to look on his channel.

LOL I loved his reaction when he made his... "EEEW! It's so ugly! Who designed this!?" I agree, they could've made them look a lot cooler.

There 15 different combination of stone that can that can be put on a vell hart but it only show the one combination so how do we know what we get if we using different stones.
