What melting is
Melting is a magic furnace for items you no longer need. You feed it a special material and it gives back one random treasure. It is the main way to get rare Runes, and also a source of large amounts of Chi Points, Star Stones and Permanent Stones.
| You can melt | Possible prizes |
|---|---|
| Dragon Balls, Refined Gems, Super Gems, Rune Crystals, Jiang Hu items | Rare Runes, lots of Chi Points, Star Stones, Permanent Stones, plus the new Taoist materials below |
How to melt
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the Melting window from the Forging interface or from the Treasures icon. |
| 2 | Put a material in. Every result it can turn into is listed under it, so you know what you are playing for. |
| 3 | Melt once, or 10 times in a row. Each melt uses up the material and gives one random treasure. |
New runes from the furnace
This update added a new set of rare runes. Rare Blue Runes each carry a rune skill for one class; Rare Yellow Runes are universal. The full effects and the best picks are in Runes.
| Class | Rare Blue rune skill |
|---|---|
| Trojan | Blood Tide (passive) |
| Warrior | Retaliation (passive) |
| Archer | Star Raid (passive) |
| Fire Taoist | Rise of Taoism (active) |
| Water Taoist | Space Leap (active) |
| Ninja | Duel (active) |
| Monk / Saint | Fury Strike (active) |
| Pirate | Neptune's Curse (passive) |
| Dragon Warrior | Shadow Fist (passive) |
| Windwalker | Double Thunder (Chaser, passive) / Crack Star (Stomper, active) |
The universal Rare Yellow Runes of this set are Sharpness, Wide Swipe, Wonder, Nirvana, Barrier, Evocation, Breakdown, Quick Mount, Fire Blast, Soul Chant, Serenity and Sanctity. They cover things like more attack with one- or two-handed weapons, a chance to block, faster revival, extra damage to gates and pillars in wars, and less EXP for players who want to stay at their level.
- Your Rune Bag shows the runes you have collected in colour-marked boxes, with the bonus attributes they give.
- Got two runes of the same type? Break down the weaker one to get back 80% of the Rune Essences you spent on it.
- A rune ranking scores your collection, and reaching certain scores gives extra attributes.
Taoist boost: a socket for the second weapon
Taoists can now socket their secondary weapon. Go to Forging, then Socket, then Talisman. The furnace supplies both things you need:
| Item | Used for | Melt this to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Fantasy Crystal | Opening the socket | Dragon Balls, Refined or Super Gems |
| Infinity Gem | The only gem that fits; raises your final physical and magic damage | Refined or Super Gems |
Fairer enchanting and Chi help
The same update fixed enchanting. Before, each gem gave a random amount of extra HP inside a range. Now every gem gives a set amount based on its type and quality, so a better gem always gives more. The cap is still 255 extra HP, but you can now reach it for sure with enough gems instead of needing luck. More on enchanting is in Blessed and enchanted items.
For new Chi players, the game also now shows officially recommended Chi attributes and combinations to aim for while studying.
