Ipnyish Artifact System
- A new system to further enhance your character has been added - the Ipnysh Artifact system.
- This system allows players level 50 and above to enhance their Character Equipment Slots.
- To access the Ipnysh Artifact UI, open the Character info window (C) and click on the Ipnysh Artifact button in the top right.
Enhancing Equipment Slots
- To begin enhancing, select any equipment slot to open the Ipnysh Artifact window.
- This UI will display the slot's attribute type, the experience required to level the slot up, and the effects that can be gained in the process.
- At the bottom of this UI, there is a dropdown menu for the materials that you can use to begin enhancing the slot.
- If the material's attribute matches the slot's attribute, 100 XP will be granted. If the material's attribute doesn't match, it will only grant 45 XP towards the enhancement.
- Once the slot is enhanced, it will affect any equipment placed within that slot such as increasing gear score and the equipment's stats.
- The effectiveness of the enhancement depends on the type of equipment, but the effect will always be displayed in the tooltip of your equipped item.
Various Materials have been added to aid in the enhancement of equipment slots. The following materials can be purchased for 70 Akasch Tokens at the Akasch Token Merchant:
- Using a Demigod Essence increases the synthesis XP gained and decreases the gold consumed in the enhancement process.
- The Demigod Essence can only be used if the attribute type matches the enhancement material and can be crafted at the Territory Crafting Workbench using 100 Radiant Hiram Infusions.
- When an Equipment Slot's XP bar reaches 100%, the button on the right is activated allowing players to upgrade to the next level.
- Upgrading equipment slot levels requires the proper rank of Ewan's Rune.
- While some Ewan's Runes can be purchased from Akasch Token Merchants, they can also be crafted using Serpent Scales that drop from the monsters within Ipnya Ridge and the previous Rank of Ewan's Rune.
Artifact Effects
- After reaching a high enough slot level, a random stat will be granted from a list of artifact effects.
- To view the full list of available stats, click the magnifying glass in the Ipnysh Artifact UI.
- In the event an undesirable effect is obtained, it can be changed to a randomly selected alternate stat from the list, using a Bound Serendipity Stone.
- There is no limit to how many times the effect can be changed, but once the button is clicked, the action can't be reversed.
Set Effects
- Unlock additional benefits after upgrading multiple equipment slots with the Set Effects.
- After opening the Ipnysh Artifact UI, the button in the top center will grant you access to the Set Effect UI.
- Set Effects can be unlocked by reaching a certain level with all slot types.
