Anchoring Emblem
Overview
Anchoring Emblems are essential tools in upgrading gear without the risk of breakage. They come in two varieties: Celestial and Divine, each corresponding to the enhancement of Celestial or Divine-grade Weapons, Accessories, or Armor. This page outlines the crafting process, materials needed for their creation and use.
Crafting Anchoring Emblems
Materials Required
To craft an Anchoring Charm, you will need two visit one of the following locations, along with the required materials of 100 Shards and 2 Honorforged Medals (Available from the Honor Shop):
- Masonry Workbench: Requires 130,000 Masonry Proficiency
- Select Community Centers with Improved Workbenches (Level 2 or higher): Does not require Proficiency.
Obtaining Shards
Shards are salvaged from Epherium or Delphinad gear. Note that only gear of Unique grade or higher qualifies for salvaging. The number of shards obtained depends on the type of gear:
Weapons
- Any weapon: 55 Shards
Armor
- Hood: 33 Shards
- Chest: 55 Shards
- Waist: 21 Shards
- Sleeves: 21 Shards
- Gloves: 33 Shards
- Pants: 42 Shards
- Boots: 33 Shards
Accessories
- Any accessory: 55 Shards
To salvage gear, you must craft and use a "Lone Stone", of the respective Sun, Moon or Star type, which requires 50,000 Alchemy Proficiency as well as one of the respective Archeum Essence in order to craft.
Crafting Locations Without Proficiency
If you lack Masonry Proficiency, you can craft Anchoring Charms at Improved Workbenches in Level 2 or higher Community Centers. These locations include:
- Marianople
- Hellswamp
- Sanddeep
- Halcyona
- Falcorth Plains
- Rookborne Basin
- Windscour Savannah
To check the level of a Community Center, view the green bars at the bottom right of your map (Default 'M') in the corresponding zone. A fully leveled Community Center displays three green bars.
Enhancing Regrading Success Rates
Anchoring Charms occupy the charm slot during regrading, offering protection from breakage and downgrading. To improve the success rate, combine an Anchoring Emblem with a Regrade Charm during crafting to create an Anchoring Charm. This process requires additional proficiency if done at a Masonry Workbench, but similarly to an Anchoring Emblen, can be crafted without proficiency at the relevant Community Centers.
