Field Codex · The Altar of Mandara

Upgrade Guide

Every weapon and piece of armour can climb from +0 to +15 at the Altar in Mandara temple. Each attempt burns a stone and Rupiah. Past +7 a failed upgrade can destroy the item, so read the stones, the aids and the Urn before you risk your best gear.

How an upgrade works

1 · Choose the itemWalk up to the Altar in Mandara temple and pick a weapon or armour piece from your bag or what you wear.

2 · Add a stoneRequired. Each stone only works on certain levels. The Altar shows your real chance before you pay.

3 · Add an aid and a voucherOptional. The aid protects you when you fail. The voucher raises the chance or cuts the fee.

4 · Pay and rollThe fee, the stone, the aid and the voucher are all spent on every attempt, pass or fail.

What a failure costs

+0 to +3Nothing is lost except the stone and the fee.

+4 to +6The item falls back to +0.

+7 and upThe item is destroyed. Bedante, Chattou, Kuntu and Shamuk protect you.

The stones

The chance is for one attempt, listed rung by rung from the lowest level the stone accepts. The Urn and a voucher add to it.

Stone	Works on	Chance per rung	Where to get it
Dipa Illa	+0 → +3	35 · 25 · 20 %	Coming soon
Illa	+0 → +5	75 · 65 · 55 · 40 · 25 %	Jeweler Ashuri, Mandara · 10,000 Rupiah
Azis	+0 → +8	100 · 100 · 85 · 70 · 60 · 50 · 35 · 5 %	Coming soon
Surapa	+0 → +9	100 % to +4, then 75 · 65 · 55 · 15 · 5 %	Coming soon
Prajati	+0 → +12	100 % to +7, then 75 · 45 · 25 · 15 · 5 %	Coming soon
Sambadu	+0 → +9	100 % on every rung	Coming soon
Uta Sampad	+9 → +12	100 % on every rung	Coming soon
Gavi	+12 → +15	25 · 15 · 5 %	Coming soon

Gavi is the only stone that reaches +13, +14 and +15. At those rungs a fail destroys the item unless an aid protects it, so most smiths pair Gavi with Bedante.

Aids and vouchers

You can use one aid and one voucher on each attempt. The voucher slot only takes a chance boost or a fee cut, and two items that do the same thing can't go together.

Item	Slot	What it does	Where to get it
Bedante	Aid	A failed upgrade at +4 and up loses nothing	Coming soon
Chattou	Aid	A fail at +4 to +6 loses nothing; at +7 and up the item falls 6 levels instead of breaking	Goods Salesman Potava, Arena Durga · 100,000 Rupiah
Kuntu	Aid	A fail at +4 and up drops only 1 level	Goods Salesman Potava, Arena Durga · 100,000 Rupiah
Shamuk	Aid	A fail at +4 and up drops only 2 levels	Goods Salesman Potava, Arena Durga · 100,000 Rupiah
Abate	Aid	The stone is kept, pass or fail	Goods Salesman Potava, Arena Durga · 60,000 Rupiah
Abatin	Aid	A success at +5 and up gives +2 instead of +1	Coming soon
Ramate	Voucher	+5 points to the chance, then ×1.2	Goods Salesman Potava, Arena Durga · 100,000 Rupiah
Uta Ramate	Voucher	The chance is doubled	Coming soon
Nayate	Voucher	The fee is cut in half	Goods Salesman Potava, Arena Durga · 5,000 Rupiah

The fee

Every attempt costs Rupiah. The fee is based on the item's price and climbs steeply with its level. The Altar always shows the exact fee before you pay, and Nayate cuts it in half.

Example: Crystal Sayaka	+0 → +1	+4 → +5	+7 → +8	+9 → +10	+12 → +13	+14 → +15
Fee per attempt (Rupiah)	30,000	543,584	1,266,727	1,892,872	3,035,423	3,927,222

The Urn

The Urn stands beside the Altar in Mandara. It is the smiths' pot, shared by the whole server, and it glows while the fire inside it burns, pulsing from red to blue. The fuller the Urn, the better every upgrade on the server.

Feeding it

Anyone can offer Rupiah or items. Items must be single pieces, not stacks or quest items, and they count at their shop price. The first half of the pot fills cheaply: about 2,250,000 Rupiah takes an empty Urn to half full. The second half costs ten times as much.

What it gives

Every tenth of the pot adds +1 point to every upgrade roll on the server, up to +10 when it is full. The points are added to the stone's chance before a voucher multiplies it.

+0+5 · half full+10

It cools down

The fire burns the pot down all the time. A full Urn loses a point about every 21 minutes, so it needs feeding to stay hot. It is at its best when many smiths feed it together.

Example. Gavi at +14 has a 5 % chance. With a full Urn that becomes 5 + 10 = 15 %, and Uta Ramate doubles it to 30 %.

Opening soon The Urn will open in an upcoming update. This section describes how it will work.

Upgrade transfer

Move a +15 onto a better item of the same kind: weapon to weapon, armour to the same part, shield to shield, charm to charm. The +15 donors are destroyed, and climbing to a higher tier takes more of them. A Forbidden +15 moves to a level 88 item one for one; to a level 98 item it takes two, to an Amara Crystal item three, and to the highest tier (Crystal Durasha, Crystal Mata and the Legendary sets) four.

Coming soon Transfer opens in an upcoming update. The fee is taken only when the transfer succeeds.

Sockets

Set gems into an item's sockets at the Altar. To take a gem out, Reclaim pays Rupiah or Taney and puts the gem back in your bag at once. Destroy is free, and the gem is gone.
