# Craft

We use a flat Masterwork chance - 4% on any weapon or armor recipe, from B-grade all the way to S84 Vesper. It is not scaled by server rates; a Premium Account adds +2 percentage points, for 6% total. Instead of the regular recipe item you get a Foundation blank, which is then finished into the ready rare item by the Blacksmith.

Masterwork chance
4% without Premium, 6% with a Premium Account
What it applies to
Crafted B-S84 weapons, armor and jewelry, including Dynasty, Icarus, Moirai and Vesper. There is no rare result for breastplates and full body armor, for B-grade boots and gloves that are not part of a set, for «Sage's Necklace» Sage's Necklace, «Sage's Ring» Sage's Ring, «Pata» Pata and «Shining Bow» Shining Bow
Two items instead of one
Recipes up to and including C-grade and B-grade boots and gloves outside sets have no rare result: instead you get 2 items with a 20% chance, 22% with a Premium Account
Successful craft chance
Base recipe success chance, with Premium Account +10 (60% → 70%, 70% → 80%)
What isn't counted
The crafter or the customer: premium from either one is enough, if both have it the bonus doesn't stack — Premium Account bonuses
Double craft chance
5% (not affected by PA)

# Rare (Masterwork) items and sets

A rare item is a version of a regular item with an extra property. The base stats of the rare and the regular item are the same: the whole bonus lives in a separate skill of the rare item, listed in its description and added to the character's stats. A rare set is a regular breastplate (or full body armor) plus a rare helmet, gloves, boots and gaiters. Rare pieces count toward the set bonus just like regular ones.

How to get it
By crafting - with a 4% chance (6% with a Premium Account) you get a Foundation blank instead of the regular item, which is finished into a rare one at the Blacksmith, details in Craft; as a ready-made set - the «Donation Store» also sells B-, A- and S-grade armor sets in a rare version
Rare weapons for a Neolithic Crystal
«Dimensional Merchant» Dimensional Merchant in towns exchanges a regular B-S84 weapon together with a Neolithic Crystal of the same grade for its rare version; the Special Ability and enchantment are kept. The crystals drop from the rare forms of Lakfi
Breastplate and full body armor
We have no rare top pieces: breastplate and full body armor recipes have no rare result, and in a rare set the top is always regular - the set bonus doesn't suffer from this
What it gives
An extra property in the item description: for example, «Zubei's Gaiters» Zubei's Gaiters - +123 HP and +2% P. Def.
Vesper Noble set
Rare Vesper pieces are upgraded to a rare Vesper Noble set the same way as regular ones - Vesper Noble

# Vesper Noble set

Vesper Noble is neither crafted nor dropped by monsters: it is an upgrade of regular Vesper items. Maestro «Ishuma» Ishuma at the Gludio Airship Field exchanges a Vesper item together with «Noble Enhancement Stone» Noble Enhancement Stone for the same Vesper Noble item. Enchantment is kept during the upgrade. First you collect or buy a regular Vesper set, then upgrade it piece by piece at «Ishuma». Rare pieces are upgraded into rare Vesper Noble.

Where to find «Ishuma»
Gludio Airship Field - teleport Alt+B → «Teleport» → «GLUDIO» → «TERRITORIES» → «Gludio Airship»
