Economy & Smithing

Gold, dust, merchant shop, salvage values, and all five smithing operations

1. Two Currencies

The game has two currencies, both capped based on your level:

• Gold — primary currency for buying items from the merchant
• Dust — secondary currency used for smithing operations

Level	Gold Cap	Dust Cap
10	1,000	1,000
50	5,000	5,000
100	10,000	10,000
500	50,000	50,000
1000	100,000	100,000

When salvaging items, you choose Gold OR Dust as your salvage mode — you cannot get both from one item. However, if your primary currency hits its cap mid-batch salvage, the remaining items automatically convert to the other currency.

2. Salvage Gold

Rarity	Multiplier	Level 50	Level 100	Level 500
Normal	0.34	17	34	170
Common	0.67	34	67	335
Rare	1.67	84	167	835
Exquisite	4.0	200	400	2,000
Epic	10.0	500	1,000	5,000
Ancient	15.0	750	1,500	7,500

3. Salvage Dust

Rarity	Multiplier	Level 50	Level 100	Level 500
Normal	0.25	13	25	125
Common	0.5	25	50	250
Rare	1.5	75	150	750
Exquisite	4.0	200	400	2,000
Epic	10.0	500	1,000	5,000
Ancient	15.0	750	1,500	7,500

4. Merchant Shop

• 6 items in stock (one per equipment slot: helmet, chest, gloves, boots, shield, weapon)
• Stock refreshes every 5 completed runs
• Stock is deterministic — seeded from your player ID + refresh count (same player always sees the same stock at each refresh)
• No Normal rarity items are sold

Rarity Weights

Rarity	Weight	Chance
Common	50	50%
Rare	30	30%
Exquisite	15	15%
Epic	5	5%

Item Level Distribution

Merchant item levels follow a gaussian (bell curve) distribution that is shifted above your level:

Vendor items tend to be higher level than the player, making the shop worth checking regularly. At level 100, the peak is at 120 with most items falling between 100 and 190.

5. Buy Prices

Rarity	Price Mult	Level 50	Level 100	Level 500
Common	3	150	300	1,500
Rare	10	500	1,000	5,000
Exquisite	27	1,350	2,700	13,500
Epic	67	3,350	6,700	33,500
Ancient	100	5,000	10,000	50,000

Note that buy prices are capped at your gold cap (player_level × 100). At low levels, expensive items may cost your entire gold reserve.

6. Smithing Overview

The smithing system provides 5 operations to improve your equipment. Each operation has a hard per-item cap — this is an intentional anti-Best-in-Slot mechanism that prevents any single item from being perfected.

All smithing operations cost both Gold and Dust. Cost scales with item level and rarity.

Operation	Effect	Max per Item
Reforge	Re-roll one attribute type (pick from 3 choices)	2
Temper	Re-roll all attribute numeric values	3
Upgrade	Increase rarity by 1 tier	1
Attune	Change one attribute's element	1
Enhance	Boost one attribute's value by +25%	1

7. Reforge

Re-roll one attribute's type. You choose which attribute to reforge, then pick from 3 randomly generated replacement options. This is a two-step process:

1. Select the attribute to reforge — gold and dust are deducted immediately
2. Pick one of 3 new attribute options — you must choose one (no cancel after paying)

• Max 2 per item
• Uses an unbiased attribute pool (no area element weighting)
• If you close the browser before picking, choice #1 is auto-applied on your next login

Reforge Cost

Rarity	Gold Mult	Dust Mult	Gold @ lvl 100	Dust @ lvl 100
Common	2	2	200	200
Rare	5	4	500	400
Exquisite	13	10	1,300	1,000
Epic	33	25	3,300	2,500
Ancient	50	38	5,000	3,800

8. Temper

Re-roll all attribute numeric values on an item. The attribute types and elements stay the same — only the values change. This is useful when you have the right attributes but poor rolls.

• Max 3 per item
• You must keep the result (no undo)
• Values are re-rolled within the original valid ranges for each attribute type

Temper Cost

Rarity	Gold Mult	Dust Mult	Gold @ lvl 100	Dust @ lvl 100
Common	1	1	100	100
Rare	4	3	400	300
Exquisite	10	8	1,000	800
Epic	27	20	2,700	2,000
Ancient	40	30	4,000	3,000

9. Upgrade

Increase an item's rarity by one tier: Common → Rare → Exquisite → Epic.

• Max 1 per item
• Normal and Ancient items cannot be upgraded
• Adds +1 new attribute and scales base stats by the rarity multiplier ratio
• Requires a sacrifice item:
  • Same equipment slot
  • Must be the target rarity (the rarity you are upgrading TO)
  • Item level ≥ (item_level + player_level) / 2

Upgrade Cost

Rarity	Gold Mult	Dust Mult	Gold @ lvl 100	Dust @ lvl 100
Common	3	2	300	200
Rare	7	5	700	500
Exquisite	17	13	1,700	1,300
Epic	50	38	5,000	3,800
Ancient	75	55	7,500	5,500

10. Attune

Change the element of one elemental attribute. This lets you convert resist or damage bonuses from one element to another.

• Max 1 per item
• Only works on element-specific attribute types:
  • Armor: reduction, reflect, flat_reduction
  • Weapon: elemental_damage, flat_elemental_damage
• Cannot attune to Physical
• Weakness factors update automatically to match the new element

Attune Cost

Rarity	Gold Mult	Dust Mult	Gold @ lvl 100	Dust @ lvl 100
Common	1	1	100	100
Rare	3	3	300	300
Exquisite	8	6	800	600
Epic	20	15	2,000	1,500
Ancient	30	23	3,000	2,300

11. Enhance

Boost one attribute's numeric value by +25%. A straightforward power increase for your best attribute.

• Max 1 per item
• Minimum boost of 1 (even if 25% rounds to less than 1)
• Enhanced attributes are marked with a ★ indicator in tooltips

Enhance Cost

Rarity	Gold Mult	Dust Mult	Gold @ lvl 100	Dust @ lvl 100
Common	3	2	300	200
Rare	8	6	800	600
Exquisite	20	15	2,000	1,500
Epic	50	38	5,000	3,800
Ancient	75	55	7,500	5,500

12. Smithing Summary

Total Smithing Cost (all operations, level 100 item)

If you were to fully smith an item (2 reforges + 3 tempers + 1 upgrade + 1 attune + 1 enhance), the total cost would be:

Rarity	Total Gold	Total Dust
Common	1,400	1,200
Rare	4,000	3,100
Exquisite	10,100	7,800
Epic	26,700	20,100
