How and where to sharpen CA in Lineage 2? — Enhance Your Weapon quest: completion

 

SA (Special Ability) can be inserted into weapons starting at grade C. Three different SAs are available for insertion, but only one can be inserted into a weapon. You can find out which SA insertion options are available by clicking on the weapon. At the very bottom, you'll see the message "Installing an SA crystal will grant a bonus" and a list of the possible bonuses.

Special Ability significantly enhances weapons and can radically change a character's playstyle. If you occasionally keep an eye on new projects or chronicles, you can check out Lineage 2 serversto compare the conditions of the game and online.

 

To insert SA, you need to contact the chief blacksmith in the forge of any city, except for the starting villages. To insert, you need a weapon, gemstone of the corresponding grade, as well as the crystal itself Red Soul Crystal of the appropriate level and color.

 

For example:

 

Homunkulus's Sword - C-grade magic sword

 

Options for inserting CA into Lineage 2 and what is needed for this:

 

Homunkulus's Sword [Acumen] — Red Soul Crystal Stage 7 + 306 Gemstone C.

 

Homunkulus's Sword [Conversion] - Green Soul Crystal Stage 7+306 Gemstone C.

 

Homunkulus's Sword [Magic Paralysis] - Blue Soul Crystal Stage 7+306 Gemstone C.

 

In the forge you can insert CA up to level 10, CA from level 11 to 13 can be inserted only at Blacksmith of Mammon. That is, CA can be inserted into C/B-grade weapons in the city, but into A/S-grade weapons only at Mammon. You can also get CA from weapons at the same NPCs, but the crystal is not saved.

 

You can buy CA from level 7 to 10 in Town of Giran в Luxury Shop at NPC Trader Alexandria.

 

 

CA up to level 5 and CA above level 10 can only be obtained by completing the quest Enhance Your Weapon. However, it is impossible to insert CA below level 5 anywhere, since to insert it into a low C-grade weapon, you need CA of level 5, and below that, it will be D-grade, and you cannot insert CA into it.

The process of pumping SA in Lineage 2

 

In order to pump up SA, you need to press the crystal during the fight with monsters. It is most convenient to take out its skill panel and press from there.

 

Please note:
There should only be one crystal in your inventory if you have more than one. Soul Crystal, then none of the crystals will be upgraded. The same applies if you are in a group, it is very important that each group member has only one Soul Crystal.

 

It is not necessary to use the crystal on the monster all the time while you are beating it, it is enough to use the crystal once when the monster's HP drops below 15%.

 

 

After killing the monster, look at the system chat, there may be three message options:

 

• the soul crystal could not absorb the soul (i.e. the crystal did not swing)
• the crystal absorbed the soul (i.e. the crystal level increased by 1)
• the crystal couldn't withstand the filling of the soul and collapsed (yes, the crystal broke and you need to go get a new one)

 

Thus, we can pump SA from level 1 to 10. However, the most popular crystals, as you guessed, are level 11-13.

 

Where to download SA 11-13 level?

 

Further pumping of SA is available only on regular and epic raid bosses. Fortunately, if your SA is level 10 and above, it can no longer break, but the pumping rules remain the same, only one crystal in the bag. Also, we no longer have to use it on RB, it is enough that we just have it in our inventory.

 

It's easier here, you can buy the required level 10 crystal in the Luxury Shop.

Roaring Skylancer (lvl 70), Antharas Priest Cloe (lvl 74), Beast Lord Behemoth (lvl 70), Krokian Padisha Sobekk (lvl 74), Meanas Anor (lvl 70), Eilhalder Von Hellmann (lvl 71), Anakim (lvl 80), Lilith (lvl 80).
