GodsWar Holy Stone Guide

Another way to boost the performance of your Holy Suit is to mount a Holy Stone or two onto it. Before you can do that, you must learn about the mounting process and the use of Holy Spirits; without them a Holy Stone is useless.


Holy Stone Upgrades

You can mount a Level 1 Holy Stone onto your Holy Suit, but it would not do you much good. To make Holy Stone mounting worthwhile, you should first upgrade it by Eclipse Stones. The Holy Stone upgrading process will have no effect on the Holy Spirits inserted into the stone.

Collect the necessary materials and visit the Holy Stone Artisan in a major city: (132, -138) in Athens or (12, 4) in Sparta.

While speaking with the Holy Stone Artisan, ask him to upgrade your Holy Stone. You can place your Holy Stone in the designated spot, plus there is a separate spot available for inserting an Eclipse Stone. Holy Stone upgrades have a chance to fail, and an Eclipse Stone will increase your chances of success. There are three kinds of Eclipse Stones you can use, as shown in the table below.

 Level 1 Eclipse Stone - Powered by the combustion of the sun, this stone can upgrade a Holy Stone from Level 2 through Level 4. The success rate is 90%.

 Level 2 Eclipse Stone - Powered by the combustion of the sun, this stone can upgrade a Holy Stone from Level 5 through Level 7. The success rate is 25%.

 Level 3 Eclipse Stone - Powered by the combustion of the sun, this stone can upgrade a Holy Stone from Level 8 through Level 10. The success rate is 10%.

The upgrading process can be nerve-racking, since there is a chance of failure. When an attempt fails, the level of the Holy Stone is downgraded by one level. The Eclipse Stone can be applied to set the success rate to a certain value, but it's effectiveness deminishes through the character's advancement. You may also use a Goddess' Stone to further improve your chances of success. Adding a Goddess' Stone improves the success rate by an additional 10%.

* Please note that Holy Stones, Eclipse Stones, Goddess' Stones and Holy Spirits can be purchased at B-Gold shops or the Item Mall, or they can be traded with credit.

Inserting Holy Spirits


Holy Spirits are key components in the Holy Suit enhancement process. Without a Holy Spirit, mounting a Holy Stone to your Holy Suit is useless. A Holy Spirit adds an attribute value to the Holy Stone, which transfers to the Holy Suit once mounted. This gives you an opportunity to customize your Holy Suit further by allowing you to add the attributes of your choice to your Holy Suit.


There are two kinds of Holy Stones, Heated and Cooled, determined by the function of the equipment. Heated Holy Stones improve offensive equipment (e.g., weapons, gloves, helmets and rings) while cooled Holy Stones improve defensive equipment (e.g., armors, shields, sleeves, etc.). As a result, the Holy Spirits are divided into two categories, Holy Spirit of Fire and Holy Spirit of Water, as shown in the table below.

Ask the Holy Stone Artisan to insert Holy Spirits into your Holy Stone. Insert the Holy Stone and the Holy Spirit(s) in the designated spots. There is also a place to insert a Goddess' Stone, which is optional but can improve your upgrade's effectiveness. The effectiveness of any Holy Spirit is determined randomly within a range of values listed in the table above. Using a Goddess' Stone will increase the lower limit and give you a higher value.

* Please note that any Eclipse or Goddess' Stones used will vanish once the Holy Stone upgrade is completed.

If you are dissatisfied with the attribute received from a Holy Spirit, you can replace it by inserting another Holy Spirit into the stone, which will replace the old one.


Mounting a stone onto a piece of equipment can be tricky, but it is not rocket science. You must drill a spot on the equipment where you can mount the stone. Once mounted, the stone's Holy Spirit attribute will transfer from to the Holy Suit. If you want to transfer the attribute to a different Holy Suit, you can easily detach the Holy Stone and remount it on another piece of equipment.

Drilling
Ask the Holy Stone Artisan to drill a spot for mounting the Holy Stone. Drilling the first hole costs 230 gold, and drilling the second hole costs 2300 gold.

Mounting
Once the holes have been drilled, ask the Holy Stone Artisan to mount the stones on your Holy Suit. Place them in the designated spots and click Confirm to mount.
* Please note that Holy Stones are equipment-specific. Please check their compatibility before mounting.
Once mounted, you can move your cursor over your Holy Suit to see the improvement made to its attributes.


Detaching
If you are dissatisfied with the effect of a Holy Stone on a particular piece of equipment or you can make better use of it elsewhere, you have the option of detaching it. Visit the Holy Stone Artisan to have it detached.
The stones are listed in a numerical order. To detach the stone listed first, enter the number "1" in the bracket. Enter the number "2" if you want to detach the second stone on the list.

The detachment process will not change the effectiveness of the Holy Stone. The holes drilled on the Holy Suit will remain for mounting other Holy Stones.
