The trans system (short for transcend) lets you add sockets to your weapon or armor. Sockets hold option stones that boost your stats. Onyx weapons get 3 sockets and onyx armor gets 2 sockets, the highest amount in the game. Getting there takes 3 steps: collect trans fragments, exchange them for a stone, then use the stone on your gear.
Step 1: Get Trans Fragments
Trans fragments (a currency used to build trans stones) come from several sources:
- Mirror-map monsters (in maps like Sunken and Demonic) drop 3-day option stones. Extract these in the crafting studio for 5 trans fragments each.
- Sunken map quests give trans fragments directly as a reward for killing a set number of monsters or bosses.
- Any monster on a new map can drop a Rough Transcendence Stone. Hand it to the crafting-studio NPC (behind the ashkeena/inter dungeon NPCs) for 3 trans fragments.
- Power Arena badges can be exchanged for trans stones. 40 Badge of Victory makes a Shiny Transcendent Stone directly.
- Farming in Hero's Hall (needs level 115+50 and strong gear) also drops trans fragments.
Step 2: Exchange Fragments for Stones
Once you have 1000 trans fragments, exchange them for 1 trans stone. Collect 40 trans stones (40,000 fragments, or 40 Badge of Victory) and fuse them into a Shiny Transcendent Stone.
Step 3: Use the Stone on Your Gear
Double-click the Shiny Transcendent Stone on the weapon or armor you want to upgrade. Your gear changes color and gains empty sockets. You can now fill those sockets with option stones for extra stats.
Quick Tips
- Onyx weapons get 3 sockets. Onyx armor gets 2 sockets — the highest of any gear grade.
- Power Arena badges are the fastest path to a Shiny Transcendent Stone if you already play Power Arena daily.
- Save your Rough Transcendence Stones — do not sell them, since they convert directly into fragments.
