The new V3.0 facility, the Combine Station, lets you merge the traits of similar items to gradually upgrade your gear to its maximum. Together with magnitudes (upgrade stats), it forms the core system for growing your equipment.
What You Can Do
- Merge similar items to incrementally boost their performance
- Use it as an alternative to repairing
- When merging, the highest-percentage stat carries over to the target item regardless of quality
How Quality Factors In (Example)
- Even if a Quality 1 item has a boost value of only 20%, merging it with a Quality 6 item applies that boost as a larger effect on the higher base performance of the Quality 6 side
- In other words, you can take a “strong boost value rolled at low quality” and transfer it onto a “high-quality item body,” getting the best of both
This is a mechanism for making full use of the upgraded gear you loot (see “Item Magnitudes”) without any waste. For detailed settings on degradation and repair, see “Customizing Repair and Degradation.”
