My Time At Sandrock The Art of Enhancing Your Loot's Awesomeness

My Time At Sandrock Improve item quality

My Time At Sandrock

Ah, my fellow adventurers in the wondrous world of Sandrock! Today, we shall delve into the secrets of obtaining a Refiner and increasing the quality of items in My Time At Sandrock. Trust me, my friends, this knowledge will elevate you from a newbie to a seasoned master of craftsmanship!

The Quest For a Refiner

As we all know, higher quality means better rewards and more Gols in your pockets. And trust me when I say, the citizens of Sandrock have a penchant for fancy things. So, to meet their demands and fill our coffers, we must acquire a Refiner.

Now, my dear gamers, the road to obtaining a Refiner is not without its challenges. First, we must visit the resident scientist, Qi. And, oh boy, Qi is not an easy nut to crack. You’ll have to bribe him with some Data Disks to research the Refiner blueprint. A total of eight Data Disks should do the trick. Expect to wait three whole days for Qi to grace you with this precious blueprint, as he’ll send it to you in a letter.

Once you have the blueprint in your hands, gathering the necessary materials will be your next crucial quest. Fear not! I have laid out a table of required materials for your convenience:

Refiner Material How To Obtain It
Bronze Blade x1 Crafted from Bronze Bars and Copper Gears at a Worktable. Bronze Bars can be obtained by smelting Copper Ore and Tin Ore together in a Furnace, while the recipe for Copper Gears can be purchased from the Commerce Guild Store for a measly 50 Gols.
Copper Screws x12 Crafted from Copper Bars on a Grinder. Copper Bars, a precious commodity, can be obtained by processing Copper Scrap in a Recycler or by smelting Copper Ore in a Furnace. You can find the recipe for Copper Screws at the Commerce Guild Store, and guess what? It only costs around 60 Gols!
Marble Slab x2 Crafted from Marble Bricks at a Processor. Seek out Marble Bricks by smelting Marble in a Furnace of any tier. Marble can be found hiding amidst Hard Rocks or abandoned monuments outside Sandrock. So, grab that trusty Bronze Pickhammer and get ready to play some real-life Whack-A-Mole!
Rubber Shell x3 Crafted from Rubber in a Processor. If you don’t feel like playing with rubber ducks, you can recycle Rubber Scrap in any Recycler to obtain Rubber Shells. Resourcefulness is the key, my friends!
Hardwood Stick x2 Crafted from Hardwood on a Processor. When life gives you Deadwood trees, turn them into Hardwood! Break those trees or recycle Fine Wood Scrap to obtain the desired Hardwood. And don’t forget, a Bronze Axe or a better one is required to harvest that sweet Deadwood.

With these materials in hand, you’ll be ready to experience the true joy of refinement in Sandrock!

Unleashing the Power of Quality

Upgrading Item Quality

Now that you possess a Refiner, my fellow adventurers, it’s time to witness the true power of quality! Interact with the Refiner and behold a list of all upgradeable items in your inventory and storage. It’s like discovering hidden treasure, except the treasure is your everyday tools and equipment.

Using gemstones reminiscent of mystical powers, such as Opal, you can upgrade items to one of four tiers of quality: Ordinary, Outstanding, Perfect, and Rare. This, my friends, is the path to greatness. Everything from tool strength to armor stats and weapon power is influenced by the sacred energy of quality.

To begin this enchanting process, select the item you desire to upgrade. Let’s say you have a humble Plastic Shell craving power. Inside the Refiner, you’ll discover a box displaying the current quality, juicy stats, required items, and the gemstone needed for the upgrade.

But wait, that’s not all, my friends! As you venture deeper into Sandrock’s mysteries, you’ll come across eleven different gemstones. Each item requires a specific gemstone for upgrading. And as the quality ascends, the cost and rarity of these gemstones increase. It’s like playing fetch with unicorns!

But here’s the cherry on top: for weapons, armor, and tools of Rare quality, you have the extraordinary ability to reroll them for unique attributes. Embrace your inner alchemist and turn imagination into reality.

Now, let me present you with a lovely table, introducing you to the magnificent gemstones and how to acquire them:
