Basic refers to tasks which any character can do, regardless of specific training (unlike proper professions).
Combine Resources[]
Certain types of resources can be combined or created in a Crusher (found in Smithmagi's Workshops).
- Bonta: [-32,-55]
- Brakmar: [-28,36]
- Frigost Island (Permafrost Port): [-83,-40]
- Pandala Island (Pandala Village): [17,-29]
- Sufokia: [13,24]
- Treechnid Forest (Arak-hai Forest): [-5,-13]
- Rok Island (Kramdam Heights): [38,-20]
These do not require any profession to craft, though some may only be available during specific quests.
- Higher tiers of Smithmagic Runes (not all types of runes have higher tiers - see the rune table for more information)
- Pa runes are created by combining 3 basic runes
- Ra runes are created by combining 3 runes
- Transcendence Runes
- All types of Metaria
- Certain quest items (full list on the Crusher page)
Shatter An Item Into Runes[]
You can also obtain Smithmagic Runes by using the Crusher to shatter equipment. The stats of the equipment determine what type of runes you get from shattering.
Only basic runes can be obtained from shattering. The higher tiers of runes must be created by combining the basic runes (e.g. shattered equipment can produce Vit Runes, which can then be crafted into Pa Vit Runes and Ra Vit Runes).
Shattering Bonus[]
The number of runes you receive is determined by the item's stats, as well as a global per-item bonus. This bonus goes down when that same item is shattered, and goes up when a different item is shattered. Each server has its own set of bonuses, which are hidden and only revealed once an item is shattered.
For example, if you shatter a Solomonk, a certain bonus percentage will be applied to the rune generation. This lowers the bonus for Solomonks significantly, and very slightly increases the bonus for all other items. The next Solomonk shattered on the server (by you or anyone else) will see a lower bonus, until it is raised by other items being shattered.
The bonus decreases rapidly to incentivize shattering different kinds of items. This can be seen in action if you shatter multiple of the same item, with each subsequent item having a lower bonus and generating fewer runes.
The maximum bonus that can be applied is 4,000%. There is no minimum, though the bonus begins to decrease more slowly as it approaches 0.
Tthe actual bonus tracked by the server can go above 4,000%, but that is the maximum value used to calculate rune amounts. It's possible to see multiple 4,000% bonuses in a row on a rarely-shattered item, if the true value is high enough.
After an item is shattered, there appears to be a certain time period during which the bonus decreases predictably. The first shatter decreases the bonus by 1/2, the next by 2/3, then 3/4, etc. This can be seen in the image below: 427/630 ≈ 2/3, 323/427 ≈ 3/4, 260/323 ≈ 4/5. After an unknown period, this resets and the next shatter will drop the bonus by 1/2 again.
