Recipes

[Under Your Bed]

Anyone know of any guides for them? Checked steam & YT, but there doesn't seem to be anything. I don't understand what to do, I need to see the combinations & end result to make sense of the recipes. Like in the game Van Helsing.

In VV I feel like I'm trying to make a cake & I end up with a pineapple.

For example I put 3 green powers together thinking it would upgrade it to what ever the next tier is, but instead of an increase from the 3 same powers, I get 1 different power of the same rarity?

Obviously I don't understand what I'm doing & my concern is that I will ruin my current build by experimenting if I make a mistake.

You have 4 transmutation slots. The top 1 is for the item you want to modify. The bottom 3 slots are for ingredients.

When you combine only ingredients (without putting an item to be modified) you create new items.

In your case, you combined 3 demon powers creating a new power. It's a process we call gambling because it gives you a new demon power of the same or better rarity.

You can find more info in this extensive guide.

Thanks. I thought I was able to combine 3 of the same powers & rarity to increase the stats of that power & its rarity. My mistake I got confused.

This wasn't the only thing I was stuck on, but I'll look through the link & hopefully find the answers to everything else.

In my stash I have a wicked card with a wolf. If I add any 3 divine cards to the wicked card at the top the guide tells me it will increase the stats. So if I want to increase the vampire card I need it to be wicked & add any 3 divine cards to increase it? So it increases life steal?


When I add the demon powers to the weapon at the top I can increase the stats each time or one time only? This has to be the right combination of 2 yellow & 1 green every time?


I have yellow cursed sword of the duelest 49-92
dmg inc 22% while equipped: minimal gold drops
+59 armor
How do I add a 3rd stat like gain health on hit or crit dmg?


To make a green demon power yellow I need to put it at the top & add any 3 other yellows to the bottom?

If you place a Wicked/Divine card as base and place three Wicked/Divine cards as ingredients you will increase the Wicked/Divine effect of the card. (This will only buff the effect that is shown with light blue/yellow text in the description of the card.)

You can increase each stat until you fill the corresponding bar at the left side of the Transmutation UI. (It usually takes 5-10 transmutations). The rarity of the demon powers doesn't matter. The combination defines which stat you're trying to upgrade.

There're 2 ways to add a new property. First, place the base weapon in the top slot, then:
1. Use a Power Stone as ingredients. (Each Power Stone has a specific stat, which will be applied to the weapon.)
2. Use 3 Legendary Demon Powers as ingredients. (Check Codex > Recipes > Weapon Properties to find out which Demon Powers you will need to use for a particular stat.)

No, you put a green Demon Power in the top slot and then add other green Demon Powers as ingredients. When you buff enough the stats the Demon Power will become yellow.

Thanks again for the help. I quickly tried adding demon powers to a weapon after increasing them, but I need to try the other things out when I have more time, now that I have a better understanding of what I'm doing. I look forward to start crafting some items now, enjoying the game a lot.

I tried to increase the divine card I have by putting 3 divine cards at the bottom but nothing happens. I don't know why this seems to be so complicated to me, but I tried to mess about with all the different divine cards & still none seem to show any change. Tried purple, yellow, green & silver.

The recipe says 3 divine cards make a divine card. I assume this produces a random devine card? So even adding 3 of the same rarity devine cards could result in a random devine card? So 3 green divines that are the same wont produce a yellow divine of the same card type?

I think this is where I'm getting lost with numbers, divines, wickeds, rarity, type, combinations, my head is all over the place.

1. To improve a Wicked card: Place it in the top slot, then place 3 other Wicked cards as ingredients. (The rarity of the ingredients doesn't matter. You can place a yellow Wicked card as base and 3 grey Wicked cards as ingredients.)

2. To create a Wicked card: Select a card which you would want to make Wicked and then place it in the top slot. Add 3 Wicked cards as ingredients. (The rarity of the ingredients does matter. E.g. if you want to create a yellow card, you will need 3 yellow Wicked cards. Then, If the base card is not Wicked/Divine it will receive a random Wicked stat.)

N.B. You need 1000 Gold per transmutation. Many times it's easy to neglect the fact that the only reason why you can't transmute is that you don't have enough money to pay Damian to use his machine.

No, you put a green Demon Power in the top slot and then add other green Demon Powers as ingredients. When you buff enough the stats the Demon Power will become yellow.

Can this be done with whites? Such as if I wanted to craft an item up from a single affix to craft the ensure the best affixes for a build, rather than relying on luck with drops? It would obviously be more expensive, but when your patience wears thin...

You can add only one property to an item. You can get a white item, which has only 1 special stat and then transmute it... but at the end you will have a yellow weapon with 2 special stats.

Ok I'll have to go back & look again as I did try this with various cards. It didn't seem to matter which combination of divine only or wicked cards, I still couldn't transmute. I obviously did something wrong.

I had a yellow executioner card. I put 3 wicked cards & tried 3 divine cards with no change to the top yellow executioner card. Again, I obviously made a mistake somewhere.

Yeah I get what you mean, but I had enough cash as I had sold weapons.


I'm sure once I finally get this I'll be making hundreds of cards, but atm I've found this to be more confusing & frustrating, spending more time worrying about card crafting than playing the game. Last night I ignored the cards, used what I had & now have several purple weapons & cards, dyed my armor, increased stats on my weapon & added a 3rd stat, sold so many weapons & demon powers that I'd collected, then threw the others in my stash. It was hard to stop playing.

Been farming for loot & got a good amount of purples to drop. Managed to make the cards divine/wicked (I realized the mistake I was making). Dropped the death & vampire cards for wild cards, upgraded my main weapon & armor more, planning to create another farming weapon & purple main weapon too. There's so much I can do, now that I understand what I'm doing with the crafting of items. I think I reached level 44 so shouldn't take long to get to level 50.

The mistake I was making was I had a yellow card which I wanted to be divine, but I was trying to use 3 green divine cards instead of 3 yellow divine cards. I realized this after reading your reply to my question, when I checked again in the game I think I was trying to use different colours.

I'm glad to hear that you figured it out. If you have any other questions, you know where to ask :) Happy transmuting!
