Description
The heart of a monster wandering the Fragmentum. Normal material used for enhancement.
Lore
It is a lesion that breeds evil, the impulse to sin. It is the source of the Fragmentum distortion. The heart is glimmering and the veins on it indicate it's still alive. "What kind of monster is this? Did you see it... Its face! It has the face of our previous leader!"
Farm it smart
An ascension material dropped by common enemies; craft it up to higher tiers at the Omni-Synthesizer. You need a LOT across characters — farm drop points with Trailblaze Power regularly and NEVER let your Power cap at 300 (pure waste). The quiet resource sink.
