About
- •Extremely rare consumable that performs a complete Skill Tree respec — redistributes ALL invested Abyss Artifact points
- •Strategic planning essential: respecs allow full ability redesign for boss challenges or playstyle changes
- •Three primary sources: chest looting (Abyss/Hernand), challenge completion, and vendor purchases
- •Crafting route requires 1x Abyss Cell + 2x Mercury — useful late-game alternative to limited chest loots
- •Witch faction exclusive: purchase from vendors if desperate, but inventory resets are impossible without this item
- •Exceptionally valuable due to scarcity — hoard a few before committing to major build changes
Gathering Guide
- •Loot from Abyss treasure chests — unlock Chapter 4 Forbidden Knowledge quest to access Abyss exploration
- •Complete sealed Abyss Artifact challenges (e.g., "Keeping Balance on the Wind") for guaranteed rewards
- •Unlock locked chest in Hernand Castle (Chapter 1 Mystical Key quest) — contains a Faded artifact
- •Craft via blueprint: complete Gunvar's Research Requests to obtain blueprint, then use Abyss Cell + 2x Mercury at Cauldron
- •Purchase from Witch vendors using Silver — limited stock per NPC, non-renewable
