How to Cultivate

Head to the Cultivation Research Laboratory at Kakyo Castle.

There are a total of 60 Cultivation Units; 30 cultivate for 3 days (cost: 50 Kreuz) and 30 cultivate for 5 days (cost: 100 Kreuz).

Talk to White Buddha for any information you might need.

Armor that has undergone Spiritual Infusion or Synthesis will keep SI, Tarots and Soul Stones during cultivation. You cannot lose already added Modification Slots either.

Pick any Cultivation Unit and enter your Equip Piece (Top/Bottom only at the moment), this will be your Base Item. Make sure you have the required Kreuz in your Inventory.

You can use other Equipment Pieces or Items to raise the % Gauge and with that raise your chances on adding Modification Slots to your Equipment. Those are the Manure Items.

The % that increases depends on the value of the Manure used:

Poor (劣) Fair (可) Good (良) Great (偉) Excellent (秀)

The machine shows you what value your inserted Item has.

After the cultivation process finishes, you can pick up your Base Item from White Buddha.

Tips

  • You need to enter the required minimum manure daily to have a chance of Slots being added. If you miss out on a day, adding items the next day will grant lesser % than it usually would.
  • Weapons cannot be used as manure items.
  • Equipment of the same type and gender increase by a higher % than others.
  • HEPA can be used in place of manure items.
  • A demon with Fairy Assist or Leprechaun Tag increase % gained from Items according to Summoner's INT & LCK.
  • Some Cultivation Units are supposed to have higher chances of granting Modification Slots than others. (Not sure which)
  • Modification Slots are only carried over with Slot 2 when SI-ing.
  • Once you have your slotted gear, you must use a Zip instead of a Cabinet. The success increase item equivalent for armors is Sequencer Touch. Both items can be collected in the Golden Ark Casino.
