Formation and Armament Improvements

New Formations and Inscriptions

You will be able to find armaments with rare inscriptions and armaments for the two new formations in Formation Choice Chests and Random Armament Chests. They will only be included in chests obtained from Crusader Achievements, Armament Shops, bundles, and events that open after the update, as well as both ongoing and newly-opened Lucerne Scrolls.
Armaments with rare inscriptions and armaments for the two new formations have been added to the reward list for traveling, dispatches, and other features.

New Guaranteed Rare Inscription Feature

If you acquire 150 Legendary armaments for a single formation, one of those armaments is guaranteed to have a rare or better inscription.
We have also recorded how many Legendary armaments each governor has acquired in the past. We will later be compensating governors with Rare Inscription Armament Chests via mail.

New Item for Resetting an Armament’s Transmutation Chances

New Item: Transmutation Crystals. If you have already transmuted an armament the maximum number of times, you can spend a Transmutation Crystal to reset the armament’s transmutation chances.
