THE GUARDIANSVALESTIA
Crafted gear boosts your stats in every mode. Two gear slots, saved per stat slot, enhanced up to +5.
Greywood adds three regional rares and Pale Amber, its signature material. They are hunt ingredients for the Seal’s +4/+5 upgrades, not a recipe to obtain the Seal.
Materials drop from finishing game modes — higher-stakes modes drop more — and from hunting regions. Four are your starter stock:
| Starter material | Common sources |
|---|---|
| Copper Ore | Duels, training, raids, dungeons |
| Silver Ore | Contracts, missions, raids, dungeons |
| Linen Fiber | Missions, escort, contracts, dungeons |
| Cardboard Scrap | Loot drops, triad, escort, FFA |
Above those sit uncommon, rare and very rare tiers, plus 11 region signature materials that only drop from hunting one specific region, and two legendary weapon mats — Void-Tempered Core and Ascendant Ember — that no region drops at all.
Thirty-one pieces. Many carry a real combat passive, not just a stat line.
Six pieces your clan must unlock the recipe for before any member can craft them.
Equip the required pieces to activate a set. There are 26 sets: 22 gear pairs and 4 weapon + gear combinations. All completed sets work together. Sets do not require a separate recipe.
| Set | The two pieces | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Siegebreak Protocol | Guardbreaker Gauntlets + Breach Core | Guardbreaker bonus increases from +12% to +15%, and Breach Mark lasts 5 hits instead of 4. |
| Predator Circuit | Hunter Stride Boots + Resonance Dagger | When execute triggers, add +5 flat damage. |
| Bastion Counterloop | War Harness + Retaliation Anchor | War Harness starting shield increases to 20, and Retaliation flat bonus increases to +8. |
| Phantom Oracle | Mist Cloak + Predictor Lens | Post-REST dodge bonus increases to +15%, and Predictor pattern bonus increases to +14%. |
| Last Line Protocol | Last Pulse Amulet + Field Resuscitator | Revives from Last Pulse and Field Resuscitator grant +8 shield to the revived unit. |
| Surgical Breach | Field Resuscitator + Breach Core | Allies revived by Field Resuscitator gain +6% damage on their first ATTACK. |
| Counter Hunt | Retaliation Anchor + Hunter Stride Boots | If counter-burst hits an execute-range target, add +3 flat damage. |
| Sentinel Tempo | War Harness + Predictor Lens | If you defended, your next ATTACK gains +5% damage (one attack). |
| Crimson Null Pact | Blood Pact Seal + Null Crown | Once per combat, when HP falls to 50% or lower, your next ATTACK gains 25% lifesteal. |
| Hemophage Rite | Blood Pact Reliquary + Resonance Dagger | Blood Pact lifesteal gains +2% (14% -> 16%) and per-hit lifesteal cap gains +2. |
| Null Tribunal | Null Crown Apex + Breach Core | Null Crown Apex first-hit shred increases from 20 to 25 per enemy. |
| Prism Rift | Phase Shard + Resonance Dagger | FOCUS attacks that trigger Phase Shard count as +2 resonance hits instead of +1, accelerating the combo cycle. |
| Focus Edge | Phase Shard + Predictor Lens | Phase Shard gains +5 INI drain and +5 percentage points of mitigation penetration. |
| Fracture Protocol | Phase Shard + Guardbreaker Gauntlets | FOCUS attacks against DEFEND targets add +2 flat damage on top of the Guardbreaker bonus. |
| Breakwall | Shatter Brace + War Harness | When the guard break counter fires, you gain a +3 HP shield. |
| Shatter Circuit | Shatter Brace + Guardbreaker Gauntlets | Guard break counter damage: +3 flat (10 → 13 base). |
| Counter Pact | Shatter Brace + Retaliation Anchor | Guard break counter +2 flat. Retaliation Anchor counter-burst +1 flat. |
| Fracture Lens | Phase Shard + Shatter Brace | After your guard breaks, the next successful attack can trigger Phase Shard penetration and INI drain without FOCUS. |
| Shattered Fortress | Shatter Brace + Craterglass Bracer | A successful PARRY adds 25 to Craterglass's next-round shield (45 base; 70 at +5). Once per round; refreshes, never stacks. |
| Tidal Veil | Tideglass Compass + Mist Cloak | After a successful REST, the next Flow-empowered attack that deals damage heals 25 HP. Once per Flow charge, including multi-hit attacks. |
| Last Testament | Bloodline Ring + Warden's Vow | The first ally death grants 50 shield for the rest of that round. Once per combat. |
| Field Hospital | Quartermaster's Seal + First Aid Kit | Activating First Aid also grants 40 shield for this round. Once per combat; this shield is not amplified by consumable bonuses. |
| Returning Current | Leviathan Harpoon + Tideglass Compass | If Returning Tide deals damage, your next successful REST restores 40 additional HP. Once per combat; interrupted REST does not consume it. |
| Craterheart | Meteor Anchor + Craterglass Bracer | If Gravity Well reduces an impact and you survive until next round, gain 50 shield for that round. Once per combat. |
| Royal Reflection | Mirrorbound Rapier + Mirrored Crown | Your summoned Reflection starts with shield equal to 20% of its own max HP, minimum 30 and maximum 60. Lasts until absorbed or the summon disappears. |
| Inherited Wrath | Revenant Edge + Bloodline Ring | With at least one Bloodline stack, Fallen Echo gains 10 percentage points of echo damage (50% to 60%; 75% to 85% at +5). |
Equipped gear enhances from +1 to +5, making its bonus stronger each level, and it applies in every combat mode. Cost scales hard: the oil curve runs 20% → 35% → 60% → 100% → 150% of the item's base price per level, about 365% of the item's cost in total to reach +5.
The +4 and +5 wall is deliberate. Those two steps demand rare materials the earlier ones do not. Take your best piece to +3 before you even think about the last two.
Everything stacks and applies automatically. My Stats shows the number that actually enters the fight.
The four Greywood materials are used to enhance Quartermaster’s Seal beyond +3. The Seal itself is a campaign reward; these materials do not let you craft a new one.
| Upgrade | Tannin | Fiber | Salt | Amber |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| +3 → +4 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| +4 → +5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 2 |
These are only the Greywood ingredients. The upgrade also charges OIL and the other materials shown by the Forge. At base enhancement the Seal has +1 CON, +15 HP, +30% consumable healing/shields and 10 flat incoming attack reduction; each enhancement adds 4 percentage points to consumable amplification (+50% at +5).
A gear with 1 candle per fight; 2 at +5. A candle protects one interrupted Rest: all incoming hits during that Rest deal 20% less damage after the Rest penalty. You still lose the Rest healing, but prepare Focus if you survive. A safe Rest does not consume a candle.
For a hit already calculated as 150 after the Rest penalty, the lantern’s 20% reduction makes it 120 at that step. It does not erase the original penalty or guarantee survival.
Its active is used once per combat. A successful hit that removes HP applies Widow’s Tithe for the target’s next two complete turns: −15% STR/AGI/CON and −50% healing. At +5: −20% stats and −75% healing. Current and maximum HP are not recalculated by the curse.
Choose the weapon skill as your main action. A dodge or a completely blocked hit does not apply the curse.
Your first successful Widow's Tithe curse grants 20 shield for the current round. Once per combat; never restores candles.
Equip both Tithe Scythe and Last Vigil Lantern to activate this set. Its shield is separate from the title named The Last Light.
