[B]New Crafting and Upgrade System Coming in November to Arcane Legends
Please keep in mind that the Crafting and Upgrade systems are currently work-in-progress. As such, things are subject to change from what is outlined below.
Arcane Legends will be turning 1 year old in November. What better way to celebrate than with two awesome new game systems: Crafting and Upgrading!

The process of condensing 10 Essences into a Gem takes time. It takes 8 hours to create 1 Gem. You can have up to 5 total crafts or upgrades in progress at any one time on any one character.
This is the first use of this new Crafting System. There is a lot of room for future expansion. The Arcane Legends Development Team is excited to use this new system to create compelling new content over the coming months for you.
44922
Upgrading:
The Upgrade System will allow you to socket one or more (depending on the quality of the item) powerful Gems into your gear.

Epic items: 1 upgrade slot

Replacing an existing socketed Gem takes 12 hours, regardless if it is in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Gem slot.
Here is an example walk-through of the Upgrade process. I'm going to slot a Blood Gem to add some extra STR to my lvl 31 Entomed Hammer of Warfare.
Step 1: Select Item
45080
Step 2: Select Slot
45079
Step 3: Select Gem
45078
Step 4: Review Upgrade Info
45077
Step 5: Confirm
45076
Step 6: Upgrade in Progress
45075
The Entombed Hammer of Warfare is being upgraded and is not available for use. I can buy through the timer if I really want to finish it up right now. Any one character may only have a total of 5 Crafts or Upgrades in progress at any one time.
Notice how the Super Gem stat bonus for the Level 31 Entombed Hammer of Warfare is +5, where a level 36 item can be +6. This scales up from level 10 items that are a base +1 with a Super Gem possible bonus of +2.
The Crafting Station, where you can start new Gem crafts, start new Upgrades, review your current progress and pick up finished items is easily accessible from the main menu.

As with Crafting, this is the first use of this new System. There is a lot of room for future expansion with Upgrades.
We look forward to your thoughts and feedback regarding these new systems. After reading through this announcement, please make use of the below feedback threads to voice your opinion:
