Any rare or uncommon lvl 20 or higher items can be disassembled with the help of specialists marked with the “Item disassembly” tag. These craftsmen can be found in almost any settlement.

Disassembling an item will destroy it and yield some essence of quality.

This essence can be spent at the very same specialists who also provide quality upgrade services.

Here’s a few tips that will help you get started:

• Rare items yield more essence than uncommon ones.
  
• Items of quality yield significantly more essence when disassembled.
  
• The higher the item’s quality, the more essence you will receive by disassembling it.
  
• The higher the item’s quality, the more essence you’ll need to upgrade it to the next level.
  
• An item can be upgraded up to quality level 10, increasing its stats by up to 50%.
  
• You cannot disassemble items 5 or more levels above your character’s level.
  

Sentinel Hill arena opens its gates for champions and pretenders. While the event is active talk to arena master to start a chain of event quests that will reward you with useful items and also a handful of ash required to create a unique eternal helmet. A formula for this helmet can be bought from the famous blacksmith Broderick, who creates equipment for the invincible champions of the arena.

The quests are available from level 10 and don’t forget that you can teleport to the arena by accepting a quest from arena master’s assistant.
