WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Dwell’s crafting menu in Ward 13
Turn Corrupted Shards into a specific alternate weapon at Ward 13. This guide covers choosing a recipe and completing the conversion; it does not repeat shard farming routes. Check Dwell’s available variants and your inventory before spending time collecting materials, since the recipe list and your shard balance determine which crafts are currently within reach.
Have an eligible weapon variant available in Dwell’s recipe list.
Check your Corrupted Shard balance and the recipe’s displayed material cost.
Visit Dwell and open the corrupted weapon crafting options.
Browse the available variants and choose one that suits a weapon you want to use.
Read the recipe and confirm the Corrupted Shard cost along with any other displayed requirements.
Compare the target variant’s description with your current weapon setup before committing the materials.
Gather any missing requirements through their appropriate in-game sources, then return to Dwell.
Craft the selected variant and confirm it appears in your inventory.
Equip it and review its stats and special effect in your loadout before upgrading further.
Farming tips
Choose the weapon first, then collect only what its displayed recipe requires; this avoids accumulating shards without a craft target.
Corrupted Shards and Corrupted Lumenite are separate materials. Check the item name in your inventory before planning a craft.
Repeat, collect and use
Crafting can be repeated for other eligible variants when you have enough materials; each craft consumes the requirements shown by Dwell. The number of available crafts is limited by your shard supply and inventory cap.
Common mistakes
Assuming every weapon has a corrupted version: browse Dwell’s actual recipe list and select from the eligible options.
Spending shards before checking the recipe: verify the displayed cost and other requirements first.
Treating Corrupted Lumenite as a substitute for Corrupted Shards: confirm the exact material named in the recipe.
When to stop or switch
Stop after crafting and checking the variant you selected; return to Dwell only when you have a clear next recipe and enough room to collect its required materials.
