Quinting
QUINTING is the DS term for adding multiple essences to one item, thereby multiplying its effect by an order of magnitude. You will start with a Base item, for example, a staff, and a Reign essence, in the lab add the essence onto the item. You would then add QUINTESSENCES (which are made by evaporating two of the same reign essence, or bought in the platinum potion shop for 5pt) to the item, boosting the Essence factor on the item.
For example - Shuyins Mutey Stick (Level 540 personal staff).
Step 1) Add reign essence and item in lab. You will get this (Shuyins Mutey Stick of Reign of Violence.)
Step 2) In the lab, add 1x quintessence (violence/platinum) and the weapon. You will now get this. (Shuyins Mutey Stick of Reign of Violence +1)
Step 3) Repeat step 2, until the item is like this (Shuyins Mutey Stick of Reign of Violence +25).
The lab will take money from your bank account to pay for blueprints and plat bars which have been removed from the game.
Cost of Adding Essence
The lab will take 2pt from you for each essence and quint that you add to an artifact (personal or temp), this is the cost to reinforce them like the plat bars that were removed from game used to. Only artifacts (personal or temp) can be reinforced in this way, so the 2pt per essence/quint isnt taken for any other gear.
The benefit of using platinum quintessences is they have 100% chance to work.
Sometimes there are Palladium quintessences available from the platinum potion shop, they cost 1pt when available and when they break they only take off +1 from the quints instead of removing all the essence. (eg. if the quint breaks at +24, it will go to +23 instead of totally removing essence).
Standard quints have a 5% chance of exploding, destroying all previous essence on the item.
Signets are like Godly Quints for Zodiac Gear.
