Crafting Guide

Step 1: Create Seeds

Location: Chaos Goblin Machine

Pro Tips

  • Focus on 2H weapons first - 5 sockets = more power than 1H + shield
  • Match seeds to your class - Fire ATK speed for melee, Ice Skill DMG for mages
  • Upgrade before inserting - Higher level spheres have better stat ranges
  • Don't give up on set bonuses - Keep reinserting until you get Tier 3
  • Farm Raklion regularly - Best source for socket items
