Chordstone refining (Preludes 15)
Chordstones are forged at Tuvalkane. In Preludes 15 they power the Refine tab — uplift Craftwork and roll Tempers on weapons you pick up or already own.
Cast vs Refine
| Tab | Purpose | |-----|---------| | Cast | Craft Chordstone ingots (intro tiers with base mats) | | Refine | Spend Chordstones on a weapon to improve Craftwork / add Tempers |
Higher Chordstone tiers need Lampyrites (Glow, Amber, Faer) from sieges — especially Turret Jotar — Cogah, chests, and Tuvalkane sprite-husk casting.
Migration: Stock & Noble weapons
Official Preludes 15 rules convert many pre-patch crafted weapons to Stock or Noble quality. Both can be refined — do not delete old inventory until you read patch notes.
Workflow
- Farm whole weapons (preview Craftwork/Tempers on the ground) — see farming routes.
- Queue Refine on favourites at Tuvalkane; farm Lampyrites during siege cooldowns.
- Pair with legacy Tempering for the metal queue — different forge station.
Zenith shop
Zenith sells starter Chordstones for Arcs and rotates Noble-tier weapon offers on a ~6-hour timer — check Wares of Zenith when planning buys.
Verify Bond rank, costs, and tier names in your client after each hotfix.
