Weapon Enhancement

When crafting weapons in Shroud of the Avatar, you use various Crafting Component items to assemble weapons. Each Crafting Component used, will add it's inherent Material Crafting Bonus to the crafted item.

After crafting a weapon, it can be further enhanced by adding masterworks and enchants to the weapon.

You can also socket a Gem or Imbued Gem, at an alchemy station, to weapons. Once you have applied a Gem to a weapon, adding masterworks and enchants to the weapon, also allow for additional bonuses to be applied to the weapon, based on the type of Gem socketed onto the weapon. =Example - Material Crafting Bonus for Staves= For example, crafting Shepherd's Crook you can use 2 Ashen Heartwood.
