Artifact Reworking, a new Crypt, Artifact and Accessory filters, and more!

This update brings a new Faction Crypt and some new ways to filter your Gear, along with a bunch of other changes - but the real meat of this update is the Artifact Rework system. Here’s what you need to know:

Reworking Artifacts

Artifacts and Accessories can now be Reworked. Reworking a piece Gear will randomly change all its stats - both Primary Stat and Substats - potentially transforming a poor Artifact into a great one, while saving you time and Energy raiding for new gear.

To rework a piece of Gear, you’ll need to get a new item - Chaos Ore.

There are currently 4 types of Chaos Ore:

6* Legendary Chaos Ore - Randomly changes the stats of Rank 6 Artifacts or Accessories of Legendary Rarity or lower.

5* Legendary Chaos Ore - Randomly changes the stats of Rank 5 Artifacts or Accessories of Legendary Rarity or lower.

6* Epic Chaos Ore - Randomly changes the stats of Rank 6 Artifacts or Accessories of Epic Rarity or lower.

5* Epic Chaos Ore - Randomly changes the stats of Rank 5 Artifacts or Accessories of Epic Rarity or lower.

The Rarity, Level, and Rank of any piece of Gear will remain the same after being reworked, along with whichever Substats (first, second, third, or fourth-position Substats) have been upgraded along the way and the number of upgrades those Substats received. However, all Stats improved by Glyphs will be lost after the rework.

You can get Chaos Ore from Tournaments and Events, as well as in Limited Special Offers. Each Artifact or Accessory can only be reworked once, so choose wisely when selecting which piece of Gear you want to rework.

New filters for Gear

We’ve added Rank & Rarity filters for Artifacts and Accessories, along with a filter letting you hide Gear you've fully reworked with Chaos Ore. After filtering for the Gear you want, you can now also hit “Select All” to select everything at once to make things quick and easy to sell.

New Faction Crypt

We are adding a new Crypt to Faction Wars for the Shadowkin Faction. The new Crypt will appear after the current Faction Wars cycle ends.

The reward for earning 819 Stars – Lydia the Deathsiren – has been moved to the 882nd Star.

If you have already unlocked Lydia but haven’t claimed her yet, she will be automatically added to your Champion Collection. If the Collection is full, she will be moved to Inbox. And for those of you who have already unlocked her, this doesn’t mean you’ll be able to get a second Lydia when you reach 882 Stars - sorry!
