Artifact Professional Craft

Artifact craft is divided into four different classes: Orb, Crystal, Ring and Amulet.

unlike the other four craft types, this craft type is best split into two groups: Magic Weapons and Accessories.

crafting Magic Weapons

To craft Magic Weapons you need the required materials for the craft type you wish to attempt (Deathblow, Amp, Luck, Destruction, Adept, Proof) these materials fall into the following categories:

Orb/Crystal - for citrine and bluestin levels of craft, all base weapons (excluding proof crafts) must be +0 with no slot. these are easily obtainable from core alchemists in Bloody Ice, Desert Scream and Green Despair. for Pherystin and higher grades, you will require slotted base weapons, but still +0. these are harder to obtain as they are found when mobs are killed and they drop these items. (bear in mind that these items will not be common)

Shape Cartridge (artifact) LV? - for citrine craft, level 1 cartridges are used, which are sold at grocers in the three starting maps. bluestin and pherystin require level 2 cartridges. Aqua - Topaz require level 3 cartridges and Mithril crafting requires level 4. level 2 and higher grade cartridges are randomly dropped by mobs in higher maps such as "Port Lux" and "Forgotten Ruins".

Quartz Core XXXX - quartz cores are gained by transmuting (crushing) magic weapons. the grade of quartz corresponds to the grade of weapon you transmuted. for ezample transmuting an aqua orb will give quartz core - aqua in quanitities of either 1, 2, 4 or 10. getting 10 cores/jewels from transmuting is very rare

XXXX disc LV? - of the different types of discs and the varied levels, some are used for crafting magic weapons. the type of disc is the same for one type of craft throughout the grades. so dark discs will be used to craft deathblow orbs and crystals of any grade, from citrine to mithril. the level of disc is the same as the level of shape cartridge for the grade of orb/crystal you are trying to craft. so if you need "shape cartridge lv3" you will also need level 3 discs for that craft.

Proof crafts these crafts are different, but only slightly. these crafts can only be attempted when the correct "amp craft" has been crafted. so the base weapon still has to be +0, but it must meet the other requirements. these requirements should look something like this
