3rd Chronicle

3rd Chronicle gear is a step up from the 2nd Chronicle gear. However for Set equipment, it does not imply that 3rd Chronicle is superior than 2nd Chronicle because of a higher number; some 2nd Chronicle Set equipment may be better or more desirable than 3rd Chronicle for some classes.

Pieces

3rd Chronicle gear comes in two distinct forms unlike 2nd Chronicle gear.

• Tainted: Also known as 'Cracked' Dimensional 3rd Chronicle gear in other versions outside of DFO-Global. This is "normal" 3rd Chronicle equipment. Tainted items are sorted by subclass. A Tainted item can be imbued with Dimensional Auras(Red Dimensional Aura, Blue Dimensional Aura, Green Dimensional Aura), altering a Skill. Your class (Awakening) must match the item's type to be able to receive its energy. Equipment can only be imbued twice, and the a skill cannot be imbued twice with the same aura. If adding a new skill fails, the item is destroyed. When an item is destroyed: Clear Cube Fragments, Chaos Stone Debris and Interdimensional Fragments can be salvaged.

• Set: This type of 3rd Chronicle gear has Set effects on it. Sorted by subclass. Collect Set gear to reap powerful bonuses and Set Effects. The actual equipment has slightly better stats than Cracked gear. However, unlike Cracked gear, it cannot be imbued with Dimensional Auras.

3rd Chronicle Set Notes:

• Equip level restricted to 70.
• The 3rd Chronicle items will only drop on King's Road or higher.
• Recipes for some 3rd Chronicle Equipment Set items can be found in dungeons.
• There are bonuses obtained when wearing 3, 6 or 9 pieces of an individual set.
  • You can mix and match sets (i.e: 3 pieces of one set and 6 of another)

How to Get

You can get 3rd Chronicle gear in one of three ways:

• Random drop in 3rd Chronicle Otherverse dungeons (Void Rift, Dark Side, Castle of Bakal).
• Buy from Ludmilla using Interdimensional Fragments.
• Obtain from special Quests.

Gear Drops

For 3rd Chronicle gear, certain pieces will only drop on a certain road. For specific monsters to hunt, especially for Set equipments, it's best to check DFOpedia in-game to see exactly where they drop.

• Easy: Pants, Shoes, Necklace, Ring
• Medium: Weapons, Top, Belt, Head/Shoulder, Bracelet
• Hard & Ultimate: Everything in lower difficulties as well as 3nd Chronicle Set gear.

Dimensional Auras

You can imbue Tainted equipment with a Dimensional Aura, altering a Skill of your choice. Depending on you the Aura you use, a different aspect of the Skill will be altered. Dimensional Auras can be found in the 3rd Chronicle Otherverse dungeons, or by collecting "Interdimensional Fragments" and trading them with Ludmilla in Saint Horn.

The first Dimensional Aura is guaranteed to succeed whereas the second may fail and destroy your equipment.
