Fights, Behemoths and levels follow on at a rapid pace. Hunts become harder and harder. Only one solution to counter them, the upgrade of your equipment. Dauntless has then created a Loot Box system called Slayer Core.

Those chests unlock with the acquiring of some masterings, which can depend on your level, slain Behemoths or weapons. There are 3 different rarities: bronze, silver and gold. Obviously, the rarer it is, the bigger the reward is!

Once you got it, head to the nearest Core Breaker. Those elements unlock your chests. Inside, you will be surprised to discover cells allowing to upgrade all your equipment. Split into 5 categories: defense, mobility, power, technique, utility, and 3 rarities: common (+1), rare (+2), epic (+3), everyone can choose to equip them differently, allowing you to adapt your gameplay.

If, unfortunately, you don't manage to get an epic cell, you can upgrade the effect by cumulating the same cell (3 commons for 1 epic). However, this bonus can only go up to the +6 rank.

Equipment with cells equipped

Merging cells

You also can buy cells to The Middleman. He will sell them for platinum, the game's currency, or aether dust that you get by recycling the cells you don't want anymore. Those cells will be available for one week, don't wait too much before taking your decision!

The Middleman also has a second role, which is as significant! He allows to merge cells to get better ones. To get a rare (+2), merge 2 common (+1) ones. To get an epic (+3), merge 2 rare (+2). However, never ever merge cells which aren't of the same level.

However, you may get a useless +3 cell if you don't want to get the dust off it, he will trade it randomly for an epic cell with a commission. Merging cells is free, but it's not fast. The rarer the cell is, the longer it will take it to get merged. For two +1 cells, it will take 24hrs.
