Max Rations: +300

Epheria Old Ship Part Enhancement
Enhancement for Epheria Old ship parts is straight forward. There is no RNG. Enhancement is 100% chance to succeed at all enhancement levels.
| Black Stone | Enhancement | Durability | |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Verdant Black Stone | +1 to +10 | 10 |
The enhancement level does NOT drop and never fails.
You will need Memory Fragments to repair Max Durability of your ship gear. Or, if you want to save silver, use a pearl shop item called Artisan’s Memory + the same gear to repair for less silver cost.
Max Durability cost is always 10. Total Max Durability you will need to repair is 100 for each ship part.
| Enhancement (100% Chance) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Lv | Durability Cost | Black Stones |
| +1 | 10 | 1 |
| +2 | 10 | 2 |
| +3 | 10 | 3 |
| +4 | 10 | 4 |
| +5 | 10 | 5 |
| +6 | 10 | 6 |
| +7 | 10 | 7 |
| +8 | 10 | 8 |
| +9 | 10 | 9 |
| +10 | 10 | 10 |
| 100 | 55 | |

Please do not use memory fragments to repair this gear. Instead, buy two more base versions from Falasi and use artisan’s memories, it will be much, much cheaper that way.
Thank you very much. Most people don’t realize this and end up spending much more than they need to.
Dont use 4/3 Hercules use 3/3 😀 as for Armor go with Zereth Armor cuz it gives 50LT as Item Effect 🙂
