FAQ · 3 questions

Arkveld Beta FAQ

What skills does Arkveld β armor give?

Arkveld β gives Convert Element 3 (max), Weakness Exploit 3, Quick Sheathe 1 and Recovery Speed 1 across its 5 pieces. Its set bonus Arkveld's Hunger unlocks Hasten Recovery I at 2 pieces and Hasten Recovery II at 4 pieces; 5 of its pieces carry the bonus, so 4 pieces of this set alone reach Hasten Recovery II. The group bonus Alluring Pelt (Diversion) needs 3 pieces from any of the 1 sets that share it.

How do you craft Arkveld β armor?

Forging the full Arkveld β set costs 50,000 z and Arkveld Armorplate ×15, Arkveld Scale+ ×14, Arkveld Calloushell ×9, Arkveld Certificate S ×5, Arkveld Horn+ ×5 and White Arkveld Pelt ×5 plus 3 more materials. Hunt Arkveld and Balahara in high rank for the monster parts; the rest is mined, gathered or bought. Each piece is forged separately at the Smithy under High Rank.

What is the difference between Arkveld α and Arkveld β?

Arkveld α carries 14 skill levels and 6 decoration slots (2-2-2-2-1-1); Arkveld β carries 8 skill levels and 12 slots (3-3-3-2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1). Defense (330→430), resistances, materials and the set bonus are identical, and α and β pieces mix freely towards the bonus. Pick α pieces for the skills they carry, β pieces where you would rather slot decorations of your own.
