In the game, the equipment system has many branches, so players need to spend a lot of time getting familiar with the gameplay related to the equipment system. For new players just entering this fantasy world, a guide on choosing equipment in the game will help them face the dazzling array of weapons and equipment, knowing how to choose. The following introduction will allow everyone to create a perfect equipment combination that is well-suited for their character, even without spending money.
The must-have equipment for beginners is the Arc Disk, which is the preferred weapon for new adventurers during the early stages, offering extremely high value for money. This seemingly ordinary piece of equipment actually has three core advantages. First, its orange quality is relatively easy to obtain. In the initial stages of the game, the basic version of the Arc Disk can be obtained by defeating monsters commonly found on regular maps, and its drop rate far exceeds that of other equipment at the same level. This means that new players do not need to spend too much time or effort to get this desired equipment.
Secondly, the growth potential of the Arc Disk is beyond imagination. Players can upgrade it by consuming Polishing Dust. Each successful upgrade not only increases the attack speed but also enhances special effects. This growth allows the Arc Disk to quickly improve alongside the player's character development, from the early stages all the way to the later parts of the game. Lastly, there are various ways to obtain the Arc Disk, providing players with multiple acquisition methods. Besides the usual monster grinding, purple-quality Arc Disks can also be obtained by exchanging with special NPCs.
Here's a key point to note: within the first 15 minutes after starting the game, when players have just entered the game world, they can find a crucial NPC called Mr. Bag at the Anomaly Bureau on the initial map. Do not miss the opportunity to talk to him and complete the preliminary tasks he gives. After completing these tasks, you only need to prepare 5 units of Polishing Dust to exchange for a purple Arc Disk. These 5 units of Polishing Dust can be prioritized by clearing the Slime clusters at the edge of the map.
These Slime clusters not only respawn very quickly, allowing players to challenge them again without waiting long, but also each defeat guarantees 1-2 units of dust. This way, players can easily gather the required Polishing Dust in a short time and smoothly obtain the purple Arc Disk. When the player's adventure progresses to the mid-game, the Void Curtain set of equipment will become a key factor in changing the battle situation. The Void Curtain is a special equipment composed of Drive Blocks + Cartridges, but to fully utilize its power, players need to master the following usage tips.
In terms of cartridge acquisition strategy, players should closely monitor the weekly limited-time shop refreshes, as important cartridge attributes are hidden there. When the weekly limited-time shop refreshes, players should prioritize exchanging for critical hit boost and elemental penetration attribute cartridges. For reinforcement route planning, it is recommended that players first reinforce the Drive Block to +5, as unlocking the slot expansion feature occurs at +5. In terms of equipment inscription techniques, when encountering ineffective attributes, do not rush to decompose these cartridges.
Because these seemingly ineffective attribute cartridges can actually be used as reinforcement materials for other equipment, giving them a final use. For example, a purple cartridge's base attribute fluctuates between a 5% to 15% attack bonus. Although it may not meet current needs, it might come in handy during subsequent reinforcement processes. Additionally, the reinforcement consumption of orange Drive Blocks is something players should pay attention to. Each level of reinforcement requires 3 corresponding elemental crystals. Through the practice and summary of many players, the combination of main attribute + double critical hit + elemental penetration is considered the best choice.
Moreover, the equipment cultivation routes differ at different stages. During the early stages (levels 1-20), players should prioritize making a purple Arc Disk and reinforcing it to +3. To improve mobility in the game, they can also pair it with two auxiliary pieces of equipment that increase movement speed. When transitioning (levels 20-35), players should start collecting components of the Void Curtain, focusing on cultivating a set of output-oriented cartridge combinations. By the endgame (level 35 and above), the goal is to create an orange Arc Disk + complete Void Curtain set. At this stage, players not only need to focus on the quality and level of the equipment but also optimize inscriptions to achieve attribute synergy.
The guide on choosing equipment in the game has already informed everyone about which equipment to prioritize at different stages. Since there are currently many types of equipment available for characters, following such a scientifically reasonable cultivation route, players can generally form a complete combat system within 40 hours.
