The Basics of Synthesis

When you create a character on CW, you are allowed to have one (or two, in the case of dual-wielding characters) weapons at character creation! The first one's on us! Weapons used by dual weapon characters advance jointly as though they were one weapon, kupo, and do not grant extra actions in a post.

Weapons have two stats, Attack (Atk) and Magic (Mag) that determine how much damage a normal attack with them deals. So you see, some weapons strengthen more combat-based abilities, while others strengthen more magic-based abilities. When a weapon is forged, it's owner is allowed to put 5 points into these two stats in any way he sees fit. From that point, each new rank that a weapon gains allows the user to allot one point into either of these stats. Choose miserly, and your weapon may become fairly balanced between the two. Choose extreme, and it may be tipped strongly in favor of one or the other. No stat can have a value greater than 10, though. It sounds kinda complicated, kupo! but I promise it's easier done than said!

[Synthesizing Weapons]
In order to synthesize weapons for you, I need materials! You'll find these materials out on your adventure, or buy them from the Munny Shop, as they become available. There's several different types of Materials, Kupo! some are easy to find, and others are much harder. Shards, Stones, Gems, and Crystals, I can use to create weapons and perform weapon upgrades. But there are also other materials, you know. They may be kind of strange or out of the ordinary, but they'll let me add on special abilities to your weapon, Kupo! so keep an eye out!

Here's the basic costs of upgrading, Kupo-po!

Rank 0/New Weapon: 2 Shards
Rank 1: 2 Shards
Rank 2: 3 Shards
Rank 3: 2 Shards and 1 Stone
Rank 4: 1 Shard and 2 Stones
Rank 5: 2 Stones and 1 Gem
Rank 6: 1 Stone and 2 Gems
Rank 7: 2 Stones and 2 Gems
Rank 8: 3 Gems
Rank 9: 3 Gems and 1 Crystal
Rank 10/Ultimate: 4 Crystals and 1 Orichalcum

[Enhancing Weapons]
Some special items allow you to enhance weapons, giving them special properties such as different types of damage, higher damage to certain types of enemies, and other interesting things. Some even let you come up with your own unique types of enhancements, kupo! Isn't that cool?? I can enhance a weapon at any time, so long as you have the item required to make the enhancement. Oh, you should know that each weapon can have a maximum of 4 enhancements. If you stick any more than that on there it's liable to explode! No joke, kupo.


So there you have it! When you get the itch to synthesize new weapons or upgrade weapons you already have, feel free to create a new thread in this board unique to your character, to use for weapon synthesis, kupo! Use the request template below and we'll get it taken care of lickity split. You post the template, and we'll reply letting you know which materials we need to make it happen, kupo! Once you have 'em, you can hop on back and reply to the thread, and we'll make sure the new weapon finds it's way into your inventory.
