Custom Crafting

Custom Crafting covers the ways DreamWeave lets you change a piece of gear beyond what retail tinkering allows. There are five, they work on different kinds of item, and every material any of them needs is sold by one broker in the Marketplace.

Two of them are permanent and one-way, so read what each does before you spend a note.

The mechanisms

Mechanism	What it changes	What it works on	What you need
Equipment Mods	Rolls one or more bonuses onto the piece, each tied to a Class Ability. The full list of possible bonuses is on that page.	Armor, clothing and cloaks; neck, wrist, finger and trinket jewelry	A bag of Tiger Eye or Obsidian salvage
Weapon Mods	Rolls rare special modifiers onto the weapon, up to four at a time. Tourmaline redraws the whole set; Amethyst swaps one. Tinkers, imbues and slayer are never touched. The full list of possible modifiers is on that page.	A melee weapon, missile weapon or caster with workmanship	A bag of Tourmaline or Amethyst salvage
Serpentine Salvage	Replaces every item enchantment on the piece with a different one of the same level, drawn from the pool it could have been found with. Cantrips are untouched.	Any looted weapon, armour, clothing or jewelry	A bag of Serpentine salvage
Prismatic Drift Stone	Sets a rending matching the weapon's strongest damage type and adds a handful of extra edge-work. Permanently closes that weapon to any other tinkering.	One untinkered melee weapon, missile launcher or caster	The stone itself
Attuned Drift Prisms	Permanently aligns a caster's orb to the prism's element. Eight elements, one prism each.	A caster's orb	The prism for the element you want

The salvage flows and the two gem flows are separate systems with no mechanical tie to each other. A prism will not add, reroll or improve a mod, and a drift stone will not touch either. They share a vendor, not a mechanic.

Salvage is mostly not interchangeable between the things it feeds. Tiger Eye and Obsidian work on armor, clothing, cloaks and jewelry, and do nothing to a weapon. Tourmaline and Amethyst work on weapons, and do nothing to armor. Serpentine is the exception: it works on both, because it reforges enchantments rather than modifiers, and every kind of gear can carry those. A drift stone weapon is closed to the weapon salvage, because the stone shuts the weapon to further tinkering for good.

Weapon mods no longer come out of a weapon's tinker budget. A weapon still has its ten tinker slots and can still be tinkered normally; its specials sit alongside them and neither salvage disturbs them.

One-way changes

The drift stone closes its weapon to further tinkering for good, and a prism's alignment can never be undone or moved to another orb. Neither asks twice.

The three salvage systems are gentler, because all of them can be rolled again. With Equipment Mods, the first application fixes how many mods a piece can ever hold, but the mods themselves can be rerolled later with Obsidian. With Weapon Mods, a Tourmaline reroll can be repeated as often as you can pay for it. Serpentine can be applied to the same item as many times as you like. The destructive salvage actions ask you to confirm first.

Where to buy

Everything listed above comes from Salvage-Broker Bevan Tolliver, who works out of the Marketplace's central travel alcove. He is sell-only and does not buy anything from players. His shelf has just two price points: one Trade Note for anything single-use, and ten for a reusable hammer.

Item	Feeds	Uses	Cost
Prismatic Drift Stone	Weapon rending	One	1 Trade Note
Flame, Frost, Acid, Lightning, Blade, Force, Shock and Void Attuned Drift Prisms	Orb alignment	One	1 Trade Note each
Sealed Bag of Tiger Eye Salvage	Equipment Mods	One	1 Trade Note
Sealed Bag of Obsidian Salvage	Equipment Mods	One	1 Trade Note
Sealed Bag of Tourmaline Salvage	Weapon Mods	One	1 Trade Note
Sealed Bag of Amethyst Salvage	Weapon Mods	One	1 Trade Note
Sealed Bag of Serpentine Salvage	Serpentine Salvage	One	1 Trade Note
Sealed Obsidian Hammer	Equipment Mods	Ten	10 Trade Notes
Sealed Tourmaline Hammer	Weapon Mods	Ten	10 Trade Notes
Sealed Amethyst Hammer	Weapon Mods	Ten	10 Trade Notes
Sealed Serpentine Hammer	Serpentine Salvage	Ten	10 Trade Notes

He also stocks four bags of ordinary tinkering salvage - Salvaged Steel, Iron, Mahogany and Green Garnet - at one Trade Note each. Those are not custom crafting at all: they are plain retail tinkering, they count against a weapon's normal ten-tinker limit, and they are listed on Salvage-Broker Bevan Tolliver rather than here.

The salvage bags are sold sealed. Use a sealed bag in your pack to break the seal, and it becomes the matching full bag of salvage, already at maximum structure and ready to apply. There is nothing to fill or prepare first.

A sealed hammer is the same salvage in a reusable form. Break its seal the same way, and the hammer it frees holds ten applications of that material's action, crumbling to dust when the last one is spent. Ten uses for ten notes is the same price per application as buying ten bags, so a hammer saves pack space and trips to the Marketplace rather than money.

Trade Notes come from quest turn-ins across the server, so the whole shelf is reachable by playing rather than by farming coin.
