·Multi-source verified (31/31)
Crystals are socketable items that provide various stat bonuses and effects to your gear. Weapons typically have four crystal slots, while armor pieces have four. There are different types of crystals:
Crux: For weapons, enhancing damage, crit rate, or aggro.
Pristine Crux: Higher tier weapon crystals.
Niveot: For armor, enhancing defense, HP, or mana regeneration.
Pristine Niveot: Higher tier armor crystals.
Common weapon crystals include 'Focused Crux' (increased damage from behind) and 'Savage Crux' (increased crit power). For armor, 'Resolute Niveot' (increased defense when HP is low) and 'Warding Niveot' (reduced damage from monsters) are popular. Etchings are temporary or permanent enhancements applied to gear slots, providing significant stat boosts like Power, Crit Factor, or Attack Speed. They are crafted by Alchemists or obtained from rare drops. Always ensure your gear has the appropriate crystals and etchings for your class and the content you are undertaking.Crystals & Etchings
