Phantom Equipment

Wear and upgrade even more equipment!

What is Phantom (Shadow) Equipment?

A second set of equipment may be worn along side your main that gives you a percentage of stats based on its current phantom progress. There are some limitations on what's transfered but this is extremely powerful and allows you to go beyond the current limits.

How to Unlock

After reaching base level 120 proceed to Izlude to complete the quest Harbor in the Cold Wind. Follow this questline to Alberta and after a few follow up quests you'll unlock Hollgrehenn's Smithy.

Limitations

Currently you can only create shadow equipment from the following slots:

Offhand
Body Armor
Garment
Footwear
Accessories

Other Limitations:

You can only equip the opposite type of gear in your shadow slot.
- If you have Ancient Equipment in your offhand then your Phantom Equip slot must contain a Synthesis offhand
- Likewise, if you currently have a Synthesized offhand then your Phantom Equip slot must contain an Ancient Equipment offhand
Card effects on phantom equipment are disabled while in your phantom slots.
Refine bonuses can take effect based on your current stat transfer limit so refined phantom equipment can be very strong
Set bonus can take effect based on your current stat transfer limit so you can create set bonuses you wouldn't otherwise make using this system
Enchantments take effect based on your current stat transfer, including fourth enchants!
Ancient Equipment RNG bonuses also take effect based on your current stat transfer!

You can imagine this opens up lots of new possibilities and gearing alternatives, especially for classes that need to reach Ignore DEF caps allowing you to swap a few pieces around for some huge benefits! Each piece also offers a new unique bonus at Tier 5 once this affinity reaches 50% which can be quite powerful.

How does Phantom Equipment Work?

Head over to Hollgrenn's Smithy in Alberta and select the Phantom Equipment option. This will bring up the phantom equipment enhancement interface. Select the piece of equipment you want to enhance on the left, then use Phantom Magic Ore's to enhance it.

Note that the green numbers show the adjusted value's you'll inherit at the target progress. This helps you understand exactly what you'll be getting.

How do I get Phantom Magic Ore?

Phantom Ore's are earned through the new instance Shadow Realm of Phantom. This instance can only be cleared five times per week so make sure you run this weekly if you want to enhance your gear. Unless events give any to you there is no other way to earn this ore at this time unless BCC options are available so make it a point to run this!
