Refining
General Information
- Refining is the process by which players can turn materials gained from Gathering into usable items for Crafting.
- To refine gathered resources, the player must travel to refining buildings that can be located in Faction Cities or built on Islands.
- The refining process costs silver (except when refining tier 2 resources) and the player can use Focus to increase the resource return rate.
- Players can unlock the refining subtree by first unlocking the Journeyman Refiner node on the Destiny Board. Journeyman Refiner is unlocked through Trainee Craftsman.
- There are 5 potential Refined Resources: Cloth, Leather, Metal Bars, Planks, and Stone Blocks
