In 'Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions' (hereinafter 'Arthdal Chronicles'), equipping elemental weapons is the most efficient way to handle grinding and boss encounters. However, simply equipping the weapon isn't enough; you must also increase your elemental amplification rate. Where exactly can you optimize this? KookminTree has investigated the details for you.

Q. What are elemental weapons?
A. Weapons that imbue your attacks with Frost, Flame, or Poison elements.

There are three types of elemental weapons—Frost, Flame, and Poison—and equipping the dedicated gear grants the corresponding elemental attack. Currently, at the Hero grade, you have the Siar (Frost), Ibna (Flame), and Duaka (Poison) weapons and accessories. To see a massive spike in your damage output, you need to sync your amplification rate with your chosen element. While you can pick whatever suits your fancy, I’d recommend going with Siar (Frost) as it’s easier to max out via the collection book and the market is flooded with options.

Q. How do I actually boost the elemental amplification rate?
A. Through gear refining and a handful of other tricks.

Elemental amplification rate is inherently tied to your elemental weapons, and you can squeeze out extra bonuses from earrings and belts. Skip the necklaces, rings, and bracelets, though; those prioritize resistance, which isn't going to help you much with damage output in PvE. Focus strictly on the weapon, earrings, and belt.

Once you have the core gear, it’s time to get into refining. You can roll a 1.2% elemental amplification rate on six different slots: helmet, chest, pants, shoulder pads, gloves, and boots. Aim for at least two lines of 1.2% amplification per slot. Abyss or Immortal Karakuda gear are solid choices here. If you can't be bothered with the RNG, buying gear that's already refined is a perfectly valid strategy.

Next up is your hook. Most players tend to just grab the Silver Dawn Hook, but if you’re running an elemental build, you really should be using the Blue Earth Hook. At +3, it provides a 1% boost to all elemental amplification, and every subsequent +1 upgrade adds another 1%. Plus, it offers a sweet package of bonus stats like 3% all elemental resistance and 3% total damage.

Finally, don't overlook mirror refining. You can net an extra 1% to all elemental amplification here. Keep a Mihaje's Mirror handy for PvE and aim for two lines of 1% amplification. Swap to a Darabaru's Mirror for PvP, and stick with the Mihaje's Mirror for grinding and bosses. There are more extreme paths—like hitting level 3 in the Mythic Spirit collection, level 18 in the Legendary Mount collection, or finishing the 16-piece Primordial set—but let’s be real, that’s likely out of reach for the average player. Here’s a summary of the recommended ways to crank up that amplification.

[Tips for Elemental Amplification]

= Equip elemental weapons, earrings, and belts

= Refine helmet, chest, pants, shoulders, gloves, and boots for at least two lines of 1.2% elemental amplification

= Collection Book: 11% all elemental amplification, 8.4% Frost elemental amplification

= Blue Earth Hook: 1% all elemental amplification at +3, +1% per upgrade thereafter

= Mihaje's Mirror: Refine for at least two lines of 1% all elemental amplification

= Add furniture to the Alliance Office
