Socket System & Seed Spheres
How it works
Socket items carry up to 3 empty slots under their name. You fill a slot with a Seed Sphere: an elemental seed (Fire, Ice, Lightning for weapons; Water, Wind, Earth for armor) fused with a blank Sphere. Each Seed Sphere rolls one option from its element's pool, and the option's value grows with the sphere's level, 1 to 10.
Getting Seed Spheres on Eden
- Seed Capsules (one per element) are sold by Liaman and Lumen, the Barmaids. Opening one gives a ready-made Seed Sphere of that element: Level 3 (60%), Level 4 (30%) or Level 5 (10%).
- Sphere Upgrade Rune Capsules from the same shops contain 3 Sphere Upgrade Runes. Runes also sell directly at 300,000,000 Zen per stack of 30.
- Blank Sphere, Sphere [Di] and Sphere [Tri] drop from any monster on any map (10% each) for crafting your own spheres at the Seed Master.
Seed Master operations
| Operation | Cost | Success |
|---|
| Extract a Seed from an excellent or set item | 10,000,000 Zen | 80% |
| Combine Seed + blank Sphere into a Seed Sphere | 10,000,000 Zen | 100% |
| Mount a Seed Sphere into a socket | 10,000,000 Zen | 100% |
| Remove a Seed Sphere from a socket | 10,000,000 Zen | 90% |
Upgrading spheres
Sphere Upgrade Runes raise a Seed Sphere one level at a time at the Seed Master, always 100% success. Each step costs more Zen and more runes:
| Upgrade | Zen | Runes |
|---|
| Level 1 to 2 | 10,000,000 | 4 |
| Level 2 to 3 | 13,000,000 | 5 |
| Level 3 to 4 | 16,000,000 | 5 |
| Level 4 to 5 | 19,000,000 | 5 |
| Level 5 to 6 | 22,000,000 | 6 |
| Level 6 to 7 | 25,000,000 | 7 |
| Level 7 to 8 | 28,000,000 | 8 |
| Level 8 to 9 | 31,000,000 | 9 |
| Level 9 to 10 | 34,000,000 | 10 |
Option tables
Values by sphere level. "Roll" is the chance a new sphere of that element gets the option. Percent options are marked; everything else is a flat bonus.

Tips
- Weapon elements are offense: Fire for raw attack and speed, Ice for skill attack, attack rating and sustain on kill, Lightning for excellent and critical damage.
- Armor elements are defense and pools: Water for defense, shield and reflect, Wind for HP, MP, AG and recovery, Earth for base stats.
- The option is rolled when the sphere is made, the level is what you upgrade. Re-roll by making a new sphere; upgrade by feeding runes.
- Fire's "per 20 levels" option scales with your character level, so it keeps growing long after the sphere is maxed.
