Component boosters. These are probably the most useful (and powerful) items in the game, components themselves give very little bonuses but these can change all that. How they work Doubles the effect of all select components added to the item at the same time, but it will not double the effect of already installed components! Example Green soul shard Adds 1-3 earth elemental damage, (not very good basically) Add 1 silver ingot (to the existing NON-installed component) Then click proceed The item should now have 2-6 earth elemental damage. Much better don't you think? But still low, So lets take this a step further. In a new item I use 3 Green soul shards 2 silver ingots And Click proceed And low and behold the item is a fine 9-36 earth elemental damage, or something to that effect, For advanced component building see the advanced component building section I. Component booster items. Quartz Takes 2 slots Effects water components Mercury globe Takes 2 slots Effects lightning components Silver ingot Takes 2 slots Affects earth components Sulphur Takes 4 slots Affects fire components Sliver kenjya stone Takes 4 slots Affects lightning, earth, components Gold kenjya stone Takes 4 slots Affects Earth, fire, water, lightning, components Sappier kenjya stone Takes 4 slots Affects Water, lightning, components Steel kenjya stone Takes 4 slots Affects Fire, earth,lightning, components Sulphur kenjya stone Takes 4 slots Affects Fire, earth, components Cinnabar kenjya stone Takes 4 slots Affects Fire, water, components I. advanced component building Now that we have the basics let's look at the kenjya stones, theses allow very powerful items at the lowest slot cost; basically they allow multiple components to be boosted at the same time. Example 1 Patience of Buddha 1 Soul of Buddha 1 Blood of Buddha 1 Tears of Buddha 1 Gold kenjya stone Click proceed Now you have a fine set of armour, 50% resist all, it is as if you have used 2 sets Buddha drops, But 1 Patience of Buddha 1 Soul of Buddha 1 Blood of Buddha 1 Tears of Buddha 2 Gold kenjya stone Click proceed If this was used it would produce a massive 75% resist all, and would be far more space efficient, and with rare items like the Buddha drops, this is a must. I. Special component combinations: Saitou Hajime has brought this to my attention from the gamefaq boards Basically, certain groups of items create special affects, you will know if you have one of these combinations because a small symbol will appear on each of the components E.G. In a weapon Pearl kappa claw Oni's fangs This on top of the component bonuses will add 1+ to all water skills If you know of any more feel free to contact me I. Ideas for Items Buddha garb,( the ultimate defending armour ) 1 Patience of Buddha 1 Soul of Buddha 1 Blood of Buddha 1 Tears of Buddha 1Guardian dragon skin 3 Gold kenjya stone Total slots taken 20 Stats Indestructible 100% resist fire 100% resist water 100% resist lightning 100% resist earth 20% reflect damage More to come...
