Not only does this feature allow you to fit your Items and Gear will specific Traits and Effects to help you create unbelievably powerful builds for each character,but it is also an excellent way to obtain S-Rank and 999 Quality on everything you create, which will help you earn lots of SP quickly and dominate in battle.
Rebuilding Overview
Before you can use theRebuildingmechanic in Atelier Ryza 3, you must firstmeet a few requirementsthat can take some time and effort to achieve. While unlocking the Rebuild feature is as simple as progressing through theSkill Tree,you will need a lot ofSkill Pointsto acquire it and follow a specific branch to get it as well. You can find all that information in the section below!
Rebuilding Requirements
So, in total, you are looking at4,450 SPif you were to make a direct path to theItem Rebuilding Skill.Still, we strongly advise against doing that in the early game,as you will need access to some other crucial Skills, such as Duplication,to make the most out of Rebuilding Items. Generally, we recommend focusing on these Skills first, as they will help you naturally build more SP, allowing you to obtain Item Rebuilding a bit later in the game but not too late, allowing you to use the resources you have gathered up to that point to go all out with it and make more potent Items and potentially fill out the rest of your Skill Tree.
What Is Item Rebuilding
Now that you have the ItemRebuilding Skillacquired, it’s time to put it in use, which can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but it will quickly become your best and most used mechanic in the game by a long shot after you get the hang of it. Item Rebuilding essentially allows you to pick up where you left off after you have Synthesized an Item, allowing you tofinish Material Loops and gain access to new Traits, Super Traits, and Effects.
In short, Rebuilding will be yourgo-to method of getting the most out of every Item,allowing you to reach999 Qualityand, in most cases,S-Rank.Also, since you canmanipulate what Traits and Effects you getduring this phase, you can make theultimate Gear or Core Items,making you unstoppable in combat or elevating your Gathering to the next level. But, as you may have assumed, this mechanic doesn’t come for free and requires a specific resource.
Gems
Gemsare the required resource you will use toDuplicate and Rebuild Itemsand areobtained byusing theGem Reduction systemat yourAtelier,which gives you the ability todismantle Items, Gear, and some Materials into Gems,giving you incentive to constantly update your equipment and get rid of the stuff you no longer need.
But this is Atelier Ryza we are talking about. you may sort ofmanipulate this systemto get your hands on aboatload of Gems and SPin a matter of minutes by Synthesizing a high-quality Core Item that costs fewer Gems to Duplicate than you will receive when breaking it down.Essentially, you canmake Core Items that you can Duplicate, sell all of but one, Reduplicate it, and repeatuntil you hit the capped limit of Gems.
While this is a powerful strategy in and of itself, we won’t cover it here. Still, it might be something you want to look into if you find yourself wanting more Gems or maybe want to unlock the entirety of your Skill Tree before you even reach the halfway point of your journey—just a suggestion. Anyway, once you have enoughGems,you can beginRebuilding Items,which has its own rules and limitations. You can learn more about that in the section below!
Item Rebuilding
Even though it may seem like there are many things here to keep track of, once you understand the overall system of ItemRebuilding,you will be utilizing it to its full potential in no time. When Rebuilding an Item, you must be mindful of two properties that will enable you to squeeze the most out of the Item. These are theRebuildandQuality levels,which are initially capped until you expand them via theSkill Tree.
Rebuild Level
YourRebuild Levelrefers to how many Materials you can add to the Item. Essentially, every time you add aMaterialto yourLoop,theItem’s Levelwill increase.If this number reaches your Rebuild Level, you cannot add more Resources or Materials until you further increase the limit in the Skill Tree. For example, if your Rebuild Level is50and the Material you want to add will take the Item Level over 50, it will be unselectable,forcing you to choose a different Material to use that will eitherundercut your Rebuild Level or hit it dead on.
Themax Rebuild Levelyou can achieve is99,giving you more than enough room to fill out every Loop and get all the Traits and Effects you want. If the Material is of high quality, it will raise the Item’s Level more significantly. Be mindful of what you’re adding and when, as you do not want to reach the cap prematurely and miss out on achieving999 Quality.
Quality
Speaking of theQualityof the Item, this is the other limitation that can initially makeRebuildinga bit frustrating, as this is also increased via theSkill Tree.If you have a high Rebuild Level but a low-Quality Level - or vice versa - you will easily reach the lower cap well before you max out the other, making you settle for a slight upgrade now and return to it later once you have increased the other Skill.
Much like your Rebuild Level, theItem’s Qualitywill increase when you addMaterialsto aLoop.The higher quality of the Material, the more the Item’s Quality will increase. If a piece of Material you want to add exceeds your max Quality, it will be unselectable. This will force you to be mindful of both metrics, which can be a bit frustrating at first, but the upgrades for bothItem QualityandRebuild Levelare obtainable the moment you acquire the Rebuild Item Skill, so you can work toward getting them as soon as possible.
Lastly, the other limiter on the Rebuild system is theGems,which we covered in the section above. Whenever you addMaterialsto a loop, the amount of Gems you need to Rebuild the Item will also increase, so make sure you have enough Gems to enhance your Items before you attempt it. Like the others, the higher the quality of Materials, and the more of them you add, the more Gems you will need to finish theRebuildingprocess.
