Alchemy Mastery Spirit Stones

New Spirit Stones were introduced into BDO with Alchemy Mastery. They are cheaper to craft than comparable Alchemy Stones.

Spirit Stones are similar to normal Alchemy Stones…

• Lower Durability:only 20 Durability and can’t be Recharged
• Can’t Upgrade:Spirit Stones can’t be Polished or Grown.
• Rare Ingredient Requirement:Reagent of Harmonious Spirits is not easy to obtain in bulk.
• Alchemy Mastery Requirement:Alchemy Mastery 500 crafted on an Alchemy Tool

Higher Alchemy Mastery increases the chance of obtaining a higher grade Spirit Stone.

Processing > Grind > Spirit Stones to create Alchemy Stone Shard, used in crafting alchemy stones like Vell’s Heart.
