In Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the crafting system takes center stage, offering players a robust and innovative way to enhance their arsenal. Whether you’re a series veteran familiar with Ishin or a newcomer, these crafting tips will help you navigate the intricacies of weapon enhancement and ensure your party is well-equipped for the challenges ahead.
Where Do You Craft Weapons?
After progressing through the story to Chapter Two, visit Julie’s Gearworks on Hula Avenue, just east of Resort Boulevard. Julie, a crafting specialist, operates this establishment and will offer her services once you’ve completed an initial encounter. Her auto repair shop serves as a front for her crafting talents, providing players with a range of valuable services.
What Can You Do At Julie’s Gearworks?
Julie’s Gearworks offers three essential services:
- Crafting Weapons: Create new weapons for your party.
- Upgrading Weapons/Adding Brands: Enhance and modify existing weapons.
- Material Exchange: Trade materials to expand your crafting options.
Before crafting or upgrading weapons, consider factors such as raw material cost, monetary cost, and the Facility Rank prerequisite. Investing in Julie’s Gearworks to improve Facility Rank expands your crafting possibilities.
How Do You Upgrade Weapons?
To upgrade weapons, provide Julie with an upgradeable weapon lacking an elemental damage type. Upgrading enhances all stats, including base attack damage and skill damage inflicted with the weapon. Each weapon requires specific upgrade items corresponding to its material (e.g., Iron fragments, Iron chunks). Adding elemental damage or modifiers, known as Brands, becomes possible as the weapon’s level increases.
Adding Brands
Brands offer damage-type modifications and rare bonuses. To add a Brand, reach the required weapon level:
- One Brand Slot: Level 10
- Two Brand Slots: Level 30
- Three Brand Slots: Level 50
Brands enhancing status conditions are particularly valuable. Julie provides various Brands without the need for extensive farming.
How Do You Expand Your Crafting Options?
Expand your crafting options by leveling up Julie’s Facility Rank. Exchange materials, buy upgrades, or invest cash to achieve this. Cash, albeit scarce initially, becomes more available after unlocking Dondoko Island in Chapter Six. Invest in Julie’s studies for steady Facility Rank progression.
