Rank 8 Recast

Rank 8 Recast, also known as Rank 8 Second Cast, is a set of equipment and the first upgrade of Rank 8 equipment. Each class has its own equipment set which consists of a chest piece, leggings, boots, wrists, and a weapon. It can be used to create Rank 8 (Third Cast) equipment. Players must be at least level 100 with 200,000 Reputation to wear Rank 8 Recast, even if they craft it using Nirvana Gear which does not have the same requirements.

Crafting
There are two different ways to craft Rank 8 Recast equipment - using Fortifications Essences to upgrade Rank 8 equipment, or using Dragon Jade Stones and Dragon Blood Stones to upgrade Nirvana equipment.

Using Fortifications Essences
Crafting Rank 8 Recast equipment using Fortifications Essences is the most common method to crafting equipment and allows players to upgrade their Rank 8 equipment directly. Fortifications Essences can be acquired through Flowsilver Palace, Icebound Underworld, the Ten-Dimensional Domain, or crafted using Lucky Coins. They can also be crafted using old Rank 8 Recast materials which are available through Nation Wars or from the previous nine Faction Trials which have since been retired. Fortifications Essences cannot be traded.

Players can craft Rank 8 Recast equipment using Fortifications Essences at Fortifications : Reforge located in east Archosaur near the Faction Base (573, 661). Each weapon costs 300 Fortifications Essences and a 20 million silver coin fee to create, while armor pieces cost 200 Fortifications Essences and a 10 million silver coin fee.

Using Nirvana Gear
Players can use second cast Nirvana Gear to create Rank 8 Recast equipment. This method does not require players to acquire Rank 8 equipment however equipment crafted in this way still requires 200,000 Reputation to wear. It is especially useful for blademasters as they can craft each type of weapon instead of being restricted to only 1 type. All pieces of equipment crafted in this way cost 500 Dragon Blood Stones, 2 Dragon Jade Stones, and 500,000 silver coins. They can be crafted at Crimson Officer Zhao in Cromagnon Village (110, 308).

Dragon Blood Stones can be acquired from bosses in Undercurrent Hall or exchanged using 1 Undercurrent Coin. Dragon Jade Stones can only be crafted either using 10 Undercurrent Coins or 500 Dragon Blood Stones. Dragon Jade Stones can also be used to craft a Dragon Blood Stone however it is generally not worth the cost.

Rerolling
Players can reroll their equipment to attempt to get better stats. There are two different ways to rerolling equipment - using the Fortifications forge, or using the Spirit of the Forge.

Using Fortifications Forge
The Fortifications : Reshape forge can be used to reroll equipment. Players will not be able to choose whether to keep old or new stats using this forge. It is located in east Archosaur near the Faction Base (573, 662). Rerolling a weapon will cost 30 Fortifications Essences and a 2 million silver coin fee, while rerolling armor will cost 20 Fortifications Essences and a 1 million silver coin fee.

Using Spirit of the Forge
The Spirit of the Forge allows players to reroll their equipment and lets them choose whether to keep the old stats or new stats. The Spirit of the Forge can be found in east Archosaur near the elder (571, 647). When rerolling, players will have 30 seconds to choose which stats to keep. If they do not choose, the old stats will be kept automatically. Players can use either Fortifications Essences or Fortifications Seals to reroll their equipment.

If the player uses Fortifications Essences, the silver coin fee will be double the amount compared to rerolling normally. Rerolling a weapon in this way costs 30 Fortifications Essences and a 4 million silver coin fee, while armor costs 20 Fortifications Essences and a 2 million silver coin fee.

Players can also use Fortifications Seals to reroll equipment. These are tradable and can be acquired from various chance packs or purchased from other players. They can also be crafted using Lucky Coins or 1 Fortifications Essence and 1 Golden Splendor, however these are more expensive options. Using Fortifications Seals is typically an easier method due to their availability and in most cases cheaper. Rerolling a weapon in this way costs 3 Fortifications Seals, while armor costs 2 Fortifications Seals. There is no silver coin fee.

Honing
Honing is the process of changing the values of stats on equipment. Honing a piece of equipment will not change its stats but will instead increase or decrease the values. Players can hone their equipment at Fortifications : Hone located in east Archosaur near the Faction Base (573, 662). Honing a weapon will cost 20 Fortifications Essences and a 2 million silver coin fee, while honing armor will cost 20 Fortifications Essences and a 1 million silver coin fee. Players cannot hone equipment through the Spirit of the Forge and therefore cannot choose to keep old or new values of stats.

Material Exchange
Although some materials are no longer used for creating Rank 8 Recast equipment, players can still exchange them for Fortifications Essences using the Fortifications : Engrave forge in east Archosaur near the Faction Base (573, 663). Older materials can still be acquired through Nation Wars though it will cost more to gather materials using this method. Supply Tokens can be exchanged for old Rank 8 Recast materials at the Contemplation Forge in north Archosaur (550, 675).

Warrior Seals can also be exchanged for older materials at the Fortifications : Engrave forge in east Archosaur near the Faction Base (573, 663). Warrior Seals can no longer be acquired but were previously obtainable from the 9 Trials in the Faction Base before they were replaced with the Ten-Dimensional Domain.

Rarer materials such as Platinum Ores, Oricalcum Ores, Damascene Ores, and Hapatizon Whetstones cannot be traded.

Equipment
All Rank 8 Recast armor comes with a guaranteed 4 sockets, while weapons come with a guaranteed 2 sockets. The stats that can be acquired on Rank 8 Recast are random. Armor pieces will come with 3 random addons, while weapons will come with 1 unique addon and 3 random addons. Players can get duplicate addons on all pieces except for the unique addon on a weapon; weapons can only have 1 unique addon. Each equipment piece can be rerolled for new stats or honed to change the values of the stats they currently have.
