How to craft VM3

First off, here's a table of what you need.

You'll be glad to know that your NF PvE won't be wasted.



Now for how to get these new mats.

Vision Document/Letter:
• Both drop in Kashbar’s Gorge NM and HM.
• Recipes given upon using Vision Document/Letter.
• Crafting level 400+ required in Weaponsmithing and/or Armoursmithing to learn recipes.

Just to add: Vision Document* gives designs that sacrifice NF PvE as a reagent for less crafting mats overall. Vision Letter gives designs that do not sacrifice NF PvE so you need quills + marks.

*I'm not sure if this Vision Document is the same one as the VM2 PvE Vision Document in our build right now but I think it'll be different.

Mark of Demokmon:
• Drops in all the new instances.

Runed Overlay:
• 1 Rune Overlay is crafted with 1 Rune Overlay Shard and 3 Master Artisan Kits.
• Crafting level 800 required in Weaponsmithing or Armoursmithing.
• Rune Overlay Shard drops in Gillian’s Forest (solo), Altar of Lakan (5-man), and Cave of Darkness (7-man).

Luminous Stone:
• The new quill/cube for VM3.
• Only drops in Kashbar’s Gorge HM and is BoP.
• UNBANKABLE (Seriously, this is BS. -_- I hope I’m reading it wrong or the information I'm getting is false).

Cracked Traces:
• Basically the new Metal Overlay.
• Quest received upon using Vision Document/Letter.
• 2 Cracked Shards for 1 Cracked Trace.
• 1 Cracked Shard given upon completion of Gillian’s Forest or Altar of Lakan.

Delicate Luminous Shadow Shards:
• Purchased from Agnitor merchant for 3,000 credits per shard.
• Must be “Revered” with Agnitor in order to purchase.

Do note that all the mat names are unofficial (apart from quill and MoB). Most names are literal translations from Korean.
