Portable Tier System for The Shattered Grove

We are working on a system for allowing players to have broader access for class selection, thus designed a system where you can extract tier stones on your weapons.

Note that this system will be available only on The Shattered Grove content and its weapons, won't be compatible with other contents.

Core Idea

If you have a Tier 10 or higher weapon, you will be able to extract its tiers by using:
1) a Tier Stone of the same type and level. ( i.e.: Dirty statted weapon + Dirty Tier stone )
2) another weapon of 1 lower tier level (i.e.: Dirty statted T15 weapon + Dirty Statted T14 weapon )

Result of extraction

Main weapon loses its tier, placed tier stone will be consumed, alternatively if a second weapon is used, it will lose its tier as well.

You receive portable Tier X, where X equals the weapon's lost tier. This portable tier will be wearable to any portable tier slot attached to each weapon slot, similar to current corruption extraction slots.

Content Restriction

Portable tier you extracted will be bound to the content you extracted it from. Thus you can't use portable tiers of Shattered Grove on any older or future weapons we add.

Upgrading Portable Tiers

By previously mentioned extraction equation, 1 Portable Tier is equal to 4 regular tier stones of same level. Normally, when you use tier stones on a weapon, they won't be able to be upgraded anymore. However, with portable tiers, you can merge 3 of them to get 1 higher level of portable tier stone. Merge operation will require more charges for higher tiers.

Additional Requirement to use the System

Portable tiers normally won't be usable as long as you don't have Portable Tier Proficiency effect on you. This effect can be obtained either from:
- Item Shop (1/7/14/30 days)

- Fishing

- Worldboss treasures

- Some other future content

We want your feedback

We would like to hear your opinion, concerns and additional comments about this system.

Questions & Answers

Q: What if I created several weapons already?

A: You can still extract them as portable tiers. Then:
- sell to other players

- merge them to get higher tier

Q: Can I split my tiers to downgrade it with this system?
A: No, you can only upgrade.

Q: What if I have several weapons of different tiers?

A: You can merge two weapons to get a portable tier as long as their tier difference is exactly 1. Like T15 + T14 weapon can be merged to get a portable T15.

whats the price of Portable Tier Proficiency?

It is yet to be decided, but we want it to be sustainable (without using item shop) from other mentioned sources with active gameplay.

Quote from Denis987

This portable stone will work together with ranged weapons or only for melee weapons? For example, i have 1 portable stone 16 tier, if i use him for melee weapon i got 16 tier melee weapon with 16 tier ranged weapon too?

One more question, how work simple stats with this stone?

You can use it on any weapon slot. You can use portable tier stone extracted from any weapon on any other weapon as well, there is no restriction about it. However, you cant use single tier stone on 2 weapons simultaneously.

If you have dirty portable stone, when its equipped it will disable every stat on the weapon except the ones that you can normally have on a dirty tiered weapon. (green/yellow/purple dirty stats)

Clean portable tiers will not interfere with existing stats on item at all.
