The '''fusion''' system allows players to extract [[enhancive]] properties from enhancive items found in the [[treasure system]], creating '''fusion orbs''' which can be placed into specialized '''fusion gear'''. This allows players to build customized enhancive items.

Line 41:		Line 39:

	Currently, fusion orbs can only be created by the fusion shaman NPC which is only available at special merchant events and festivals. Creating a fusion orb in this way destroys the original item. Only one enhancive property may be extracted from any single item, regardless of how many enhacive properties that item has. Edible, drinkable and spell knowledge enhancives may not be extracted; enhancives with certain scripts and certain restrictions may not be extracted. Enhancives with 'global' and 'local' restrictions may not be extracted, but this limit does not affect most items currently in the game. Global restrictions are those which affect the item as a whole and all of its enhancements, while local restrictions affect single traits. [[Crumbly]] enhancives may be extracted and the resulting orb will be non-crumbly ([[persistent]]).

Edible, drinkable and spell knowledge enhancives may not be extracted; enhancives with certain scripts and certain restrictions may not be extracted.

Global restrictions are those which affect the item as a whole and all of its enhancements, while local restrictions affect single traits. [[Crumbly]] enhancives may be extracted and the resulting orb will be non-crumbly ([[persistent]]).

			There are three types of fusion orbs:

			*T3: "old-style" fusion orbs carry the full bonus of the extracted property and does not degrade with time. However, when manually prying a T3 orb out of an armament, there is a chance that it may be damaged and become a T2 orb. {{red\|Because the fusion shaman no longer offers T3 orb creation, it is highly recommended that player characters not try to manually pry T3 orbs.}}
			*T2: "new-style" fusion orbs carry the full bonus of the extracted property initially, but will degrade at a rate of 4% a month (real time) to a maximum degradation of 50%. For example, +10 would lose 0.4 bonus points per month (becoming effective only when a full -1 value is reached, so only after 3 months in the case of the +10 item would any degradation of the bonus actually occur). It would take 13 months to reach max degradation in most cases. Values of 1 would round down to 0. Presently, the fusion shaman will only create orbs of this type.
			*T1: Prying new-style orbs will have a chance to damage the orb, similar to old-style. When damaged it becomes a T1 orb, which will uncap the max degradation (i.e. can degrade to zero in all cases). Further damage would increase degradation rate by 1% per month per damage cycle.

			There are special merchant services that may be offered from time to time to safely pry orbs or to refurbish a T2 or T1 orb back to its maximum bonus. The merchant will not convert the orb to a T3. This service should not be considered regular upkeep; by design the T2 orb extraction is meant to only give half the enhancive effect of the original item as a permanent bonus.

	When an orb is first inserted, the armament has no enhancive charges, but the enhancive may be charged in the [[Adventurer's Guild]] or by a merchant.

Fusion items will cost 125% the value in Bounty Points to recharge, or 150% in silvers (during the time of the year when silver recharging is offered).

	Orbs may only be switched when the armament has no enhancive charges. Characters may {{mono\|[[EXHALE]]}} twice on the armament to prematurely drain its charges. Any type of orb may be placed in any armament that can accept fusion orbs, with one exception: two orbs enhancing the same trait may not be placed in the same piece, but one each may be placed into two different pieces (for these purposes, a bonus to a statistic and a bonus to a statistic bonus are considered different traits).
