Your inventory quickly overflows with outdated gear while exploring dungeons and tackling quests. **The solution? Dismantling.** Here’s a breakdown of how dismantling works and why it’s essential.

How To Dismantle Gear

Visit the **Artisan District** and locate the **Gear Enhance Artisan**—found near the Gemcrafting Station in the workshop building. From the dismantling menu:

• Select unwanted gear
• Confirm dismantling to convert it into **class-specific shards**

Look for forge icons on your minimap to find the NPC. He’s positioned beside **Harvey**, who handles gear creation and shard exchanges.

Rewards From Dismantling

Dismantling rewards **shards** based on item rarity and your class. These shards serve two purposes:

• Crafting materials for upgrades
• Trading currency for powerful gear

*Tip*: Save high-rarity items for later dismantling—they yield more valuable shards.

Using Shards Effectively

Visit **Harvey** to exchange shards for gear. Progression unlocks:

• Level 40 gear (early game)
• Level 60/80 gear (later stages)

**Note**: Each gear tier is limited to one weekly trade—plan strategically.

When To Dismantle

• Preparing for higher-tier trades with Harvey

• Needing shards for forging

• Replacing old weapons/armor

• Inventory nearing capacity

Dismantling is risk-free and guarantees useful returns every time.

In Summary

Don’t hoard obsolete gear—transform it into resources. Dismantling at the Gear Enhance Artisan provides shards for upgrades and trades, streamlining your inventory and enhancing progress.
