Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Blacksmith Guide
Upgrading Equipment
Both Weapons and Armor can be upgraded at the Blacksmith. The process to do so, is quite similar between the two of them. It involves the piece of equipment players want to upgrade, the materials required to do so, and an amount of 
Copper.
Any piece of equipment, both Armor or Weapons, has a base level (+0) and can be upgraded up to +9. In order to reach the next upgrade, previous have to complete the previous one. It is not possible to upgrade an item from +3 to +6, before completing the two levels in between (+4 and +5).
Upgrading Weapons
To Upgrade weapons, players have to spend Copper, as well as three pieces of Steel. The rank of Steel required is determined by the level of the item. For example, a base Weapon (+0), requires x3 Rank 1 Steel plus 4,000 Copper. Upgrading a Weapon increases its Base Attack, as well as its Attack Bonus.
Upgrading Armor
To Upgrade Armor, players have to spend Copper, as well as three pieces of Leather. The rank of Leather required is determined by the level of the item. For example, a base Armor (+0), requires x3 Rank 1 Leather plus 4,000 Copper. Upgrading Armor increases its Defense.

Embedment
Embedment allows players to embed or extract Jewels to equipment.
In order to embed a jewel, the equipment players want to modify has to have an embedding slot available. The number of embedding slots a piece of equipment has, as well as the benefits slotted Special Effects provide, are strictly tied to the rarity of said equipment. Rarer items receive a better benefit from the same Special Effect that a common version of that item would.
Embedding Slots:
- ✮ Piece of equipment, always has 1 embedding slot.
- ✮✮ Piece of equipment, always has 2 embedding slots.
- ✮✮✮ Piece of equipment, always has 3 embedding slots.
- ✮✮✮✮ Piece of equipment, always has 4 embedding slots.
- ✮✮✮✮✮ Piece of equipment, always has 5 embedding slots.
It is extremely important to note that all set items, be it Armor or Weapon, have one embedding slot already taken by the Set Bonuses themselves. Players are unable to extract this embedded slot.
Unextractable Jewels
At least one of the random Special Effects a piece of Equipment has, CAN'T be removed or extracted in any way.
For example, in the following image, we are looking at the Special Effects of a Guding Blade. It is a ✮✮✮ Curved Sabre, so it has three embedding slots. The first two are Stone Damage +3.0% and Spirit Gain from Deflecting +2.7%, and the third one is Tiger of Jiangdong, which is the set bonus. The Two spaces between them are unusable in this item since it only has 3 embeded slots.
Tiger of Jiangdong is the one that can't be extracted, but the other two can be exchanged for a different ability.
Where do I get more Special effects for my Equipment?
Players can obtain more special effects to embed into their equipment simply by obtaining more Armor and Weapons while playing. Every time players obtain a new piece of equipment that has a not-yet-found special effect, it gets added immediately to the pool of Special Effects players can embed. That Special Effect gets added to the pool permanently and can be used as many times as the player desires.
Special Effects with this icon 
, are added to the pool of Special Effects available but once used, it will be spent.
How do I recognize which Special effect I can remove?
There are four different types of special effects, but not all of them can be removed.
Damage Special Effects: Boosts Special Effects related to the amount of damage they deal. Can be removed when their icon is 
Defensive or Restorative Special Effects: Grant defensive or restorative bonuses to the player. Can be removed when their icon is 
Support Special Effects: Boosts bonuses unrelated to combat, such as the amount of Copper obtained. Can be removed when their icon is 
Set Special Effects: Set Effects, that are fixed to Equipment that belongs to a set, become active when two or more parts of the same set are equipped at the same time. Can never be removed or changed.
Can I stack the same effect multiple times?
No, players can only have one Special Effect of the same name at the same time. This also applies to effects that are already in the Weapon or Armor.
What is the cost of Embedding?
The cost depends on the type of Special Effect you want to embed.
- For "Common" Special effects the cost is x45 Jewel Fragments and 31,000 Copper
- For Special effects that have this icon , it costs x90 Jewel Fragments and 62,000 Copper.
Storehouse
Players can carry up to 500 items in their inventory, however, they possess a storehouse that has room for up to 2000 more items.
How can I access my Storehouse?
The Storehouse isn't a physical chest or something that you can access in that way. This may lead to confusion for players. Players can access the Storehouse when interacting with Zhu Xia. When selling items, players can press ☐/X to switch between inventory or Storehouse.
Decorate
Decorate allows players to change the appearance of an item for a small fee. Only Weapons and Armor pieces can go through this process. The only requirement, besides the 1,000 Copper fee, is that the item select can only change its appearance to an item that shares the same type.
For example, a Curved Sabre can only copy the appearance from another Curved Sabre.
Please note that the pool of Decorations available reflect the ones of Equipment you have already found. You can't transmogrify an item into an item you have not found yet. Also, players can undo the change whenever they want to return to the original item's appearance for free.
Salvage
Salvage allows players to "disarm" equipment, to receive its core materials, like Steel or Leather, as well as Jewel Fragments. Jewel Fragments are a special currency that is used to embed Special Effects into Equipment. Jewel Fragments can only be obtained by salvaging Equipment. Thy can't be found while playing Missions nor can be bought from any Merchant.
Salvaging Weapons:
When players salvage Weapons they receive, 5 Jewel Fragments for the Weapon per se, and 3 Jewel Fragments per Special Effect it possesses. As well as Steel corresponding to the rank of the Weapon Salvaged.
For example, if players salvage a Weapon +6 with 2 Special Effects they will receive x11 Jewel Fragments (x5 for the Weapon, x6 for the two Special Effects), as well as Rank 6 Steel since it is a +6 Weapon.
Salvaging Armor:
When players salvage Armor they receive, 2 Jewel Fragments for the Armor per se, and 3 Jewel Fragments per Special Effect it possesses. As well as Leather corresponding to the rank of the Weapon Salvaged.
For example, if players salvage an Armor +2 with 3 Special Effects, they will receive x11 Jewel Fragments (x2 For the Armor, x9 for the 3 Special Effects), as well as a Rank 2 Leather since it is a +2 Armor
Salvageable Jewelry Essence
When a piece of equipment that has a Special Effect with the icon is salvaged, that Special Effect is stored in the Special Effects pool. Unlike "common" Special Effects, these are spent once added to an item, and have to be salvaged once again, in order to be added to a new item.
AnonymousAbsolutely sucks that there is no way to craft equipment like in Nioh. You're 100% dependent on RNG meaning that you'll have to grind for possibly hours in order the get what you want if you're after something specific.

This page is wrong. I used to be able to embed more abilities into armour, but now I can't embed those abilities anymore. And not the one-use jewels, the theoretically infinite ones.
There's more to it, though I can't tell how it actually works yet. You don't get abilities available permanently.

Can we see the list of our stored special effects before starting embedding ? Can't find it in game..
Interestingly enough, gear has a hidden power roll for every stat slot. Meaning that you can take every slot out of a specific piece of gear and check the power of each slot to determine which slot you want your best stats in. Idk if rarity has an effect on it as well, but i assume so. I use the qi/copper obtention stats to check the power personally.
