PC / Global, base game through February 2026 endgame updates

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Roqul’s Smelting Foundry in Azuz for Armor Spheres; spend spheres through the in-game armor reinforcement interface.

Roqul in Azuz can smelt excess monster parts and unwanted decorations into Armor Spheres, which are then used to reinforce armor. This is a conversion process rather than a hunt drop. Check what you can spare, use the foundry’s displayed smelting option, and follow its collection instructions. The menu determines accepted inputs and output, so do not assume every item is eligible or that different materials convert at the same rate. Decide which armor piece you want to improve before turning supplies into spheres. That keeps the cycle tied to a useful upgrade and reduces the chance of spending a part needed for another recipe.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

Reach Azuz and access Roqul’s Smelting Foundry.
Have excess monster parts or unwanted decorations available.
Have an armor piece you intend to reinforce.

Choose an armor piece that supports your current build and could benefit from reinforcement.
Review your crafting needs so you do not spend parts reserved for another recipe.
Speak with Roqul in Azuz and inspect the foundry’s displayed smelting options.
Select only surplus inputs accepted by the current menu.
Confirm the smelting process and follow its displayed collection instructions.
Check your inventory for the Armor Spheres produced.
Open the armor reinforcement interface and apply spheres to the chosen piece.

Farming tips

Use the menu’s actual eligible inputs and outputs; conversion details are not universal.
Keep rare parts tied to planned equipment recipes before treating duplicates as surplus.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat the smelting and reinforcement cycle when you have additional eligible surplus and need spheres. Each conversion consumes its selected inputs.

Common mistakes

Calling this a separate trade option; use the Smelting Foundry’s displayed process.
Assuming every monster part is accepted or yields the same output; check the menu.
Applying spheres without choosing a useful armor target; identify the piece before converting supplies.

When to stop or switch

Stop once the armor piece meets your current reinforcement goal or you lack expendable inputs. Return to hunts for other crafting needs.
