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

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 and finger jewelry A bag of Tiger Eye or Obsidian 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

Equipment Mods 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 salvage will do nothing to a weapon. They share a vendor, not a mechanic.

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. Equipment Mods are gentler: the first application fixes how many mods a piece can ever hold, but the mods themselves can be rerolled later with Obsidian, and the destructive Obsidian 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, he does not buy anything from players, and he prices every item on his shelf identically: one Trade Note, no haggling.

Item Feeds Cost
Prismatic Drift Stone Weapon tinkering 1 Trade Note
Flame, Frost, Acid, Lightning, Blade, Force, Shock and Void Attuned Drift Prisms Orb alignment 1 Trade Note each
Sealed Bag of Tiger Eye Salvage Equipment Mods 1 Trade Note
Sealed Bag of Obsidian Salvage Equipment Mods 1 Trade Note

The two 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.

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