Introduction
Caphras stones can be fused into certain weapons or armor that are TRI or above. When you fuse a Caphras stone into the equipment, it gives the item a certain amount of experience, and when the item levels up, the equipment gains extra stats.
Once an item reaches Caphras level 20 (max level), it can be enhanced with a 100% chance of success but will reduce the max durability of the item to 0.
Be careful when you try to attempt a regular enhancement with an item that has Caphras enhancement levels.
- If you succeed the enhancement (item level goes from TET to PEN for example), then 10% of the Caphras enhancement EXP will be transferred over.
- If you fail the enhancement without crons (item level drops from TET to TRI for example), only 50% of the Caphras enhancement EXP will be transferred over.
- If you fail the enhancement while using Crons (item level remains the same), then 5% of the Cron Stones you used will be converted into Caphras enhancement EXP.
How to obtain Caphras Stones
Caphras stones are rare loot drops that can be obtained from monsters in the Valencia, Kamasylvia, Dreighan, O’dyllita, and Mountain of Eternal Winter regions.
They can drop when gathering (mining, lumbering, fluid collecting, underwater gathering, butchering, tanning) and are a reward in some daily quests.
You can also craft Caphras stones by pressing L and selecting “Simple Alchemy” to combine Ancient Spirit Dust x5 and Black Stone x1
Ancient Spirit Dust can drop from monsters in various regions and can also be gained when gathering, or through some daily quests. They also have a high chance of dropping as a reward from monsters that spawn from the Dark Rift.
How to fuse a Caphras Stone
To fuse a Caphras Stone into a piece of equipment, open your Black Spirit and select the Enhancement button. Click on the Caphras tab at the top of the window and right the weapon or armor you would like to fuse.
You can see how many Caphras stones are required for the next level, and can also see your current level and what stats the next level will give you.
Press the “level up” button to put the caphras into your gear.
Some equipment cannot be enhanced with Caphras Stones:
- Blackstar Weapons and Armor
- Godr-Ayed Weapons
- Artina Sol
- Fallen God Armor
- Labreska Helmet
- Dahn’s Gloves
- Ator’s Shoes
How to extract Caphras Stones
You can extract Caphras Stones at a blacksmith. However, when extracting caphras stones, you only receive 95% of the caphras stones and you must pay 100,000 silver for each stone.
When to use Caphras Stones
It is only worth putting Caphras Stones into PEN Armors and Weapons since these are now easy to obtain with the Jetina PEN Boss Gear method.
Putting Caphras into TET gear will give you small stat upgrades, but it means you will need to extract it later. Extracting Caphras Stones costs silver and you don’t receive the full amount of Caphras back, so it is not considered worth it.
After you have obtained PEN Armor, you should be focusing on getting your pieces to Caphras level 10 (C10) so that you can upgrade them into the “Fallen God” armor set. Most players focus on their Bheg’s Gloves first, since this is the easiest to piece to upgrade. The Bheg’s Gloves become Dahn’s Gloves, which can be enhanced further to obtain higher DP and Accuracy.
Once you have your full set of “Fallen God” armors, you might want to put Caphras into your weapons. Kzarka/Dandelion can be leveled with Caphras to obtain higher AP and reach higher AP Brackets. You can also put Caphras in your PEN Kutum offhand for a mixture of AP and DP. It is recommended to eventually go up to Caphras level 15 on your Kutum.
