In Eternal Strands, the term “Strands”encompasses the diverse magical abilities that players, particularly Brynn and the Weavers, can harness. Unlike traditional spell learning methods that involve mentors or ancient artifacts, players are required to engage in combat with formidable creatures to acquire these powers. Post-battle, a visit to a Weaverband specialist becomes essential for enhancement.
While mastering a new Strand is undoubtedly exciting, continuous gameplay progression in Eternal Strands necessitates upgrading your existing abilities. Fortunately, the process of upgrading is streamlined and comparable to initially unlocking new powers.
How to Obtain Strand Powers in Eternal Strands
For instance, encountering and defeating the Ark of the Stricken Earth for the first time during the storyline provides players with an upgrade for the Ensnaring Blast Strand. Should you manage to break off its chest piece and harvest the magic contained within, you will secure an additional Ensnaring Blast Strand. It’s worth noting that defeating the boss without harvesting will yield no additional powers.
Each Strand Power can only be upgraded a finite number of times. Therefore, slaying the same boss after you have reached the limit for that particular Strand Power will not yield more copies, although you can still collect valuable resources from the defeated foe.
Before fast traveling to a new area, make sure to check the Epic Encounter displayed in the info menu on the right side of your screen. This will give you insight into the type of boss you can encounter in that specific location.
Meeting Dahm
After defeating a boss and acquiring a desired power for enhancement, return to your base and interact with Dahm, who can usually be found next to Sola and Sev’s smithy. He specializes in magic research and has the capability to integrate Strands into your abilities. Simply converse with him and select the power you wish to upgrade.
To elevate a power to level 3, it is necessary to upgrade Dahm’s Atelier first. Initiate this by speaking with Casmyr near the Loomgate to enhance Dahm’s workstation. Keep in mind that upgrading Casmyr’s own station could be a prerequisite if you haven’t accomplished it yet. Moreover, continuing through the main questline is essential to advance the base workstation’s capabilities to level 3. Unlocking this new tier of upgrades requires that you explore Upper Dnevron for a day.
To facilitate upgrades for NPC workstations, you will need Camp Supplies. These materials can be obtained by speaking with Casmyr and selecting the Salvage Resources option, which allows you to convert any surplus materials into useful supplies.
