Few questions, need your help

[✪ xRR]

Hey guys,
I really enjoy this game so far but I have one problem. I don't know what to do with all the weapons I have but don't use. What is the best thing to do with them?

- Destroy them?
- Extract Enchantment? ( What does this do anyway?! )
- Refining to get "Refining Stones"?
- Or anything else?

And what about the Extractor?
I have a pickaxe with 100% stored energy. I could extract the stone for 3000 Gold but is it really worth it? I would get a Legendary Crystal but I dont know what it does.
Will it destroy my item after extracting the stored energy ( Legendary Crystal )

Hope you guys can help me

You can either put them in the book. When you open your inventory and look on the far right tab. There you can spend all items and get several permanent buffs.

You get little bonus stats when you put refined stones in a new weapon. I would say it is only worth it when you have a good weapon and but several stones in it.

When a weapon has, let's say +30 mana, you can then extract it and put it on another weapon. I think!! Never done that before..

I used the extraction two times and got the crystal. But haven't used it for now. Dunno what to do. Maybe use it for legendary weapons to upgrade? And the item will not be destroyed after extracting.

So from what I've experienced in the new update so far, this is how enchantment system works.

First you need to get enchantment fragments. This can be obtained various ways:
- Replaying the dungeons on harder difficulties takes you straight to the boss fight and after the fight is over there are about 4 chests full of random enchantment scrolls. Consuming these scrolls in your inventory give you enchantment fragments for various types of enchantments
- In your inventory items you find or craft may have enchantment fragment (or full-on enchantments) on them. You can right-click, drag over several items and a new menu will allow you to extract these enchantments into your enchantment fragment inventory. This will permanently remove the enchantment from the items. And by items I mean equipment, food, even materials can have these. In some cases removing these can help you consolidate your inventory into less space, since similar items with different enchantment fragments will not stack on one another.
- Obtain an energy crystal from a weapon with a fully "Stored Energy" weapon/item. This will reset the stored energy on the weapon, but give you the weapon back exactly as it was, otherwise. This crystal can be consumed to gain random enchantment fragments.
- Not confirmed, but you can go into your enchantment fragment inventory and turn fragments back into enchantment scrolls that you can then re-consume back into fragments, and I think this allows you to "re-roll" some fragments, again, not confirmed. The only other reason I can see this being functionality is to share enchantments in multiplayer, which I don't do.

Once you have enchantment fragments, you can enchant items. You need at least 10 of a particular type of enchantment fragment to apply it to an item. Using the enchantment table you can fill the slot with an item (weapon, armor, food, cooking pot, etc.) and then it will give you 4 slots to put enchantments in. If you pick an enchantment that doesn't have enough fragments the apply button will not be enabled.

Refining and refining stones are another matter entirely. You need a refining stone equal to the weapon's star rating (so 8 star weapon, in my case, needs refining stone VIII's to refine). Refining allows you to add to the base damage of the weapon (not sure about armor). In my case, by 8 start one-handed sword with 500 base damage can be refined to a maximum of + 30, and it seems like it'll take at least 10 refining stones to get there (one stone gave it +3). Given that you can enchant the weapon with skills like +1% of DEF or +35 (or both) fairly easily, I think refining seems worthless unless you're min/maxing.

So going to the Extractor NPC and extracting the 100% stored energy does not destroy the item, but gives a way to get enchantment fragments. Extracting enchantments from items does change the item, but doesn't destroy them (and can be beneficial for item stacking in some cases). And enchanting seems stronger than refining in many cases.

Hope this helps
