Description
A small amount of anti-matter. Crude material used for enhancement.
Lore
A small amount of anti-matter that emanates out of the Voidranger: Reaver like the materialization of its destructive instinct. "They are all looking forward to the moment of obliteration, when they will be reforged and fused with the entire world."
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.
