★ New Gear: Exascale Armour

▣ New Exascale Armour
A new metal has been discovered in the Kingdom of the Steel Demons. Once it has been refined, it can be used to craft the new Exascale armour.
Exascale armour can be acquired directly from epic quests. Alternatively you can collect Circuit Fragments and have Haivan craft the Exascale armour at Meeting Point: Basteel Base.
* Circuit Fragments are available by dismantling Amplified Circuits and System Chips.
▣ Forging Exascale ArmourForging the New Exascale Armour
Forging can be used to strengthen Exascale armour. The armour’s stats increase and additional forging effects added depending on the forging level.
Forging is possible with every blacksmith NPC in the village.
Refined Exacon or Chetrium Steel can be used as forging materials.

Material	Source
Refined Exacon	Loot in Serpentium dungeons or reward for daily quests in Serpentium dungeons
Chetrium Steel	Loot in Serpentium dungeons
Magic Crystals	Completing dungeons or dismantling equipment

* The system is identical to the existing forging system apart from the materials and effects available per forging level.
Forging Level Transfer
The forging level of Tenebrous armour can transferred to Exascale armour.
Tenebrous armour with forging level 18 and above can be used for transfers to armour of the same type.
There are two types of forging level transfer: normal and special.

Forging Level Transfer	Properties
Forging Level Transfer (normal)	Transfer the armour’s forging level using Refined Exacon, Chetrium Steel, Magic Crystals and ED. The higher the forging level, the greater the amounts required.
Forging Level Transfer (special)	Transfer the armour’s forging level using Level Transfer Tickets, Magic Crystals and ED. The higher the forging level, the greater the amounts required. Level Transfer Tickets are available in the item shop.

Depending on the forging level, the materials needed may vary. The transferred forging level will be 6 levels lower than the original.
(For example, if you perform the transfer using Tenebrous armour with forging level 18, the Exascale armour will receive forging level 12.)
