Undecember crafting guide - All crafting currencies explained


Banner for Undecember

If you're just getting into the game Undecember, then you'll inevitably pick up some curious looking items called Essences. Those little trinkets are used in the crafting process for the game. There's a lot of crafting currencies so our Undecember crafting guide will be of great help in grasping all of them.

If you're an ARPG veteran then this system may be something you're familiar with, but for newer players to the genre, the sheer amount of currency and possibility can be overwhelming. It's worth learning though because crafting your own gear can be a major savings over buying the same piece of gear on the auction house.

There's a few different categories of crafting currencies that you'll come across in the game as you play through the campaign and end game. These can affect your gear, and your skill runes. Let's start with the Rune essences.

First off, Rune Essences will alter your Skill and Link runes. The first three are very common and will randomly change the number, position or color of the slots on the skill rune. Using these slots and connecting them to Link Runes will power up the skill. The next one add slots to the skill rune up to five deterministically. The last ones will upgrade the tier of skill or link runes to higher tiers, increasing their power. Now let's get to the gear crafting essences.

There is a LOT to unpack her, but we can break it down into a few categories. These currencies can either upgrade / downgrade the piece of gear, reroll affixes / quality, or add / remove affixes onto the item. You'll get the lower tier ones a lot more often, which does incentivize you to craft early and often, but higher tier / rarer currencies should be saved and used sparingly for the best gear for your character.
