Description
Parts of the Xianzhou machines. Normal material used for enhancement.
Lore
The connective components used in Xianzhou's ingenium technology. The intricate and thin teeth of the cogwheels are as minute as mustard seeds, and yet are interconnected to form a complex body, making the machine able to pass as true life. "Its form lies in harmony, a parallel to nature. Its movements cyclical, echoing the cosmos."
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.
