Ascension Shards are special items that are used to grant powerful upgrades to blueprints.
They typically reduce the number of components spent, increase the chance of crafting a duplicate item (multicrafting), increase the chance of crafting a higher quality item, or decrease the amount of time required to craft the item. The higher the item tier, the more ascension shards required to upgrade the item. Each item can be upgraded three times.
To use your Ascension Shards, open the information for a blueprint by long-pressing on it. The third tab is called Ascension. In there, you can spend your Ascension Shards to upgrade the blueprint with the displayed benefits!
Acquisition[]
Ascension shards can be obtained from chests, quests, the Fortune Zone, gifts, the Piggy Bank, and grab bags.
