Mystic Portal: Treasure Hunt

- When you unlock Trait Resonance on an item, the fourth trait can be added randomly or specified at unlock through the use of Trait Resonance Stones. Trait Resonance can be re-rolled at any time after unlocking.
- Re-traiting one of the base three traits on an item will cause the Trait Resonance to become inactive, but not lost, until the base traits are at max tier once more.
- Trait Resonance Stones are acquired by obtaining fragments through Material Transmutation and crafting them along with ores into Trait Resonance Stones at any crafting merchant.
- New Lithograph Book entries have been added which grant Trait Resonance Stones as rewards.
Illusion Workshop
- Take character customization to even greater heights by customizing the appearance of individual gear pieces through the new Illusion Workshop!
- Use consumable Illusion Scrolls to capture the appearance of gear collected in the world and then transform it into a usable Illusion for your cosmetic collection.
- Illusion appearances can now be dyed, allowing for even more variety in what you wear.
- Apply these appearances to your currently worn equipment to customize your look! Additional illusions will be added to this system over time. At this time, only Epic gear items are available for Illusion Workshop.
