Description
Mechanical spindle left behind from the Old World. Normal material used for enhancement.
Lore
Once taken apart, the precision components can never be put back together. Even the maintenance veterans in Belobog's Technology Division would think twice before touching it. "You idiot, the Bluecoats will only give you a few canned goods for this. Take it to Boss Svarog and you won't need to worry about food and clothing for a while."
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.
