TRANSMUTATION SHOWCASE
Blades of Fire Version 2.0 adds Transmutation, an all-new system that allows players to convert materials directly at the forge.
Players can transmute any material into another, provided it has already been discovered during their journey. The process is simple: select the material you want to create, then choose the material you wish to convert.
Materials are grouped into tiers, with more lower-tier materials needed to transmute into a higher-tier material. Conversely, higher-tier materials can also be used to produce more lower-tier materials.
Transmutation allows you to rebalance your inventory and turn excess resources into the exact materials your next weapon needs.
