Ancient Anvil

Last Edited on : May 15, 2024, 10:47 (UTC)
Each time you fail enhancing an item, you'll see "Agris Essence" start to fill up in the "Ancient Anvil" which, when activated, will grant 100% enhancement success rate for said item.
To put it in plainer terms, the "Ancient Anvil" is a "guaranteed enhancement" system of sorts.
 
For example, let's say you fail to enhance your TET (IV) Deboreka Necklace and fill up the anvil with 1 Agris Essence. Fail enough attempts and with enough Agris Essence you'll attain 100% enhancement success rate for the TET (IV) Deboreka Necklace. And, for example, even if you fail enhancement and your TET (IV) Deboreka drops to TRI (III) Deboreka, if you bring it back to TET (IV), you will see the same amount of Agris Essence previously stored preserved.
 
Unlike accessories, weapons and defense gear (such as Blackstar, Fallen God, etc.) store Agris Essence by set groups. In other words, you will retain the same amount of Agris Essence stored when attempting to switch enhancing from Blackstar Longsword to Blackstar Greatsword, as long as the weapons are at the identical enhancement level.
 

How Does It Work

The Ancient Anvil is activated once enough Agris Essence has been stored. Each failed enhancement attempt will grant 1 Agris Essence regardless of type of gear and enhancement level. If you successfully enhance a piece of gear without having stored enough Agris Essence, any stored essences will be consumed upon success.
 
▲ Upon enhancement failure, Agris Essence starts to stack. ▲ Once enough Agris Essence has stacked, this grants 100% enhancement success.

Notes
- Agris Essences apply for enhancing normally, with Cron Stones, or with a hammer item.
- Once enough Agris Essences have been stored and the Ancient Anvil has been activated, you will use the same old enhancement materials to enhance your piece of gear with guaranteed success.
- Enhancing with the Ancient Anvil activated (100% success rate) will NOT consume your current enhancement chance.

Agris Essence Gear Groups

The max amount of storable Agris Essence varies per type of gear and enhancement level. Certain items share stored Agris Essences. Except for reformed versions, accessories do not share stored Agris Essences.
