Sword x Staff Gear Substat and Divinecraft Stone Guide

To optimize equipment performance in Sword x Staff, focus on dismantling redundant gear to acquire Divinecraft Stones rather than spending resources on crafting new equipment. Spend these stones to reroll secondary stats on high-tier gear that already features strong base attributes and useful set bonuses.

Dismantling Equipment vs. Crafting Gear

Dismantling unwanted gear provides Divinecraft Stones, which serve as the primary currency for rerolling equipment substats. While crafting allows you to create new items, crafting high-tier gear continuously drains resources that are better spent refining your existing loadout.

A high-rarity crafted item with poor substats often yields less effective Combat Power than a fully optimized item from a lower tier. Treat gear crafting as a secondary task for acquiring missing equipment slots, and focus your primary resource loop on dismantling duplicates to harvest Divinecraft Stones.

Selecting Gear Worth Rerolling

Divinecraft Stones are a limited resource, so evaluate an item's base potential before committing your supply:

• Maximum Substat Slots: Select items that offer the highest number of available substat lines for your current progression tier.
• High Base Scaling: Spend stones only on equipment pieces with top-tier base primary attributes.
• Set Bonus Synergy: Prioritize gear whose set bonuses directly enhance your build's role, ensuring your substat rerolls amplify those core benefits.

Avoid spending stones on mid-tier gear that will be replaced during progression or lost in upcoming seasonal resets.

How to Refine Gear Substats

Substat refinement allows you to target specific offensive or defensive modifiers, such as critical rate or damage mitigation, to fit your class role.

1. Identify Target Substats: Determine the two or three essential secondary lines your class requires before spending any stones.
2. Focus Rerolls Sequentially: Concentrate on perfecting one gear slot at a time. If the game mechanics permit locking a desirable substat line, lock it before rerolling the remaining slots.
3. Establish a Stopping Point: Avoid exhausting your entire stone inventory on a single item. If an item lands acceptable rolls for your current seasonal content, stop rerolling and save your remaining stones for other slots.

Managing Stones as a Seasonal Resource

Gear tiers and progression milestones reset or shift over time. If a seasonal transition is approaching, stop refining mid-tier gear and save your Divinecraft Stones. Hoarding your stone reserves ensures you can immediately optimize new equipment lines when higher tier caps or gear resets take effect.
