New Honing Oil System

If you’re unfamiliar with the Honing Oil system, it is a system we’ve added to the game to help you acquire additional Sacred Vials and Pet Packs. With the current system, we understand that given the high material costs, the chance of success vs. failure when transmuting Honing Oils was not ideal; we’ve been working with the Dev team to improve this system. As part of the Blade & Soul: Steel Uprising update, the new Honing Oil system will launch and exist side-by-side with the old Honing Oil System. The old Honing Oil system will be retired later, giving you time to use your old Honing Oils if you chose to.

The new Honing Oil system will use a new Honing Oil item that will be immediately available as part of the Daily Dash and as a reward for completing Daily & Weekly Challenges beginning on April 22.

Process 30 (new) Honing Oils to create a Refined Honing Oil. Refined Honing Oils and the transmutable Spectrum Stone are used as an exchange for Sacred Vials and Pet Packs in the Dragon Express.
