Bloodbond
Bloodbonding is the Socketing of Seals to your Gear to add bonus statistics. Bloodbonding will allow you to acquire the best Gear in the game. Speak with the Bloodbond Master in the Southern Border (42,-32) to begin.
Note: Only Gear that has Soul LV can be decomposed. Only Gear that is Unbound and has Soul LV can be Bloodbonded (such as Honor Gear).
1) To begin, you must purchase a Frost Blade from the Bloodbond Master in Souther Border (42, -32).
2) Using this item will provide you with a Blood Crystal.
3) Take a piece of Gear that has Soul LV and that is also Refined to a minimum of (+1).
4) Speak with the Bloodbond Master and select the Blood Bond option.
5) Place your piece of Gear into the slot and Blood Bond it (this will consume the Blood Crystal).
6) Congratulations! You now have a piece of Bloodbonded Gear!
Note: If your Health is not full, you will not receive a Blood Crystal, and the Frost Blade will be wasted.
Note: If you Bloodbonded a piece of Gear that is not Refined, though you will see the bonus, but it will not be active when equipped. Once the item has been Refined and the Soul restored via the Bloodbond Master, you will then be able to reap the benefit.
Aquiring Seals
Now that you have a taste of the benefits you can acquire through Bloodbonding, if you wish to go a step further - the Bloodbond Master allows you to Embed Seals into your already Bloodbonded Gear to further increase the attributes.
1) First, you need to get some Seals-there are various types, however. Near the Bloodbond Master, there are five Forges (Metal, Tree, Water, Fire and Earth), each offering different Seals for you to purchase. Let's take a look at the Metal Forge.
2) To obtain Common Seal Orbs, which are used to exchange for Seals, you must recycle your old Gear. To do this, take a Refined item that has Soul LV and has been Bloodbonded and Decompose it via the Bloodbond Master.
3) Once an item is Decomposed, you will receive Seals-the more powerful the Gear, the more (and higher quality) Seals you will receive.
4) As an example, Decomposing a pair of Refined (+6) LV135 Boots granted 591 Common Seal Orbs!
Note: Certain Seals have requirements-such as Metal Root 1, which requires Gear to have a Soul LV of 150 or more. To increase the Soul Level of an item, Refine your Gear to a higher LV.
Embedding Seals
1) Once you have your Seal in hand, head to the Bloodbond Master and select the Embed Seal option.
2) Right-click the Gear and the Seal you want to attach to it.
3) Then click on the corresponding Element Slot (for example, Metal Root 1 would utilize the M (Metal) slot).
4) Then click the Start button.
5) Congratulations! You now have attached a Seal to your Gear and have a new attribute bonus from the Seal!
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are two Seals identical but have lower stats?
1. Because for some elements, the dark (filled in) star item has lower stats, and for others, the light (empty) star has higher stats.
- a. Earth: Resistances (Weaken for Shoes, Stun for Body, Silence for Head, and Sleep for Weapon) - Dark is higher.
- b. Fire: Health - Light is higher.
- c. Water: Spirit - Dark is higher.
- d. Tree: Accuracy if Light, Evasion if Dark.
- e. Metal: Attack - Always the same regardless of the star.
2) If all 5 slots in an item have the same star type, you get bonus stats. So you choose between:
- a. All Dark: Evasion + Lower Health + Higher Resistances/Spirit + Bonus Stats.
- b. All Light: Accuracy + Higher Health + Lower Resistances/Spirit + Bonus Stats.
- c. Mix and match the two types for potential higher stats in one area, but lose the bonus stats.
- d. You can choose to match the Socket colors to get the Socket bonus stats, or put in whatever colors you want. You must choose whether the higher stats from the different Seals are worth giving up the points from the Socket bonus.
