Obtaining Fine Designs
Standard Crafting
Fine Designs are sold by crafting merchants in Sanctum and Pandaemonium.
Players can purchase Fine Designs even without the necessary skill level to use it. Fine Designs can be stored in an account or legion warehouse and can also be traded. The prices of designs increase as the required crafting level increases.
Balic Crafting
Fine Designs for Balic items are sold by Shugos in the crafting districts of Sanctum and Pandaemonium. Elyos players can seek out Shoshinerk, while Asmodian players can seek out Chopirunerk to purchase Fine Designs for Balic items.
Balic Fine Designs cannot be stored in an account or legion warehouse, and cannot be traded.
Materials
Special items are needed to craft materials with Fine Designs.
Items required for standard crafting include Squaro and Pellan, which can be purchased from crafting related merchants in major cities of each race.
On the other hand, items required for Balic crafting, Amueta and Pindori, can only be purchased from two Shugo in Sanctum and Pandaemonium. Elyos will find Ayurinrinerk in Sanctum’s Protectors Hall and Asmodians will find Lyeikunerk in Pandaemonium’s Temple of Artisans
There are three categories of special materials; weapons are red, armor is blue, and accessories are white. The higher the level of crafting required, the more expensive the item, so spend wisely!
