In Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, you can dismantle your weapons or armour to harvest 'Gear Parts'. These components are essential for engraving your active gear to unlock bonus skill effects—and, naturally, they can be traded on the marketplace. But which specific skill engravings are actually moving? KookminTree has been keeping a close eye on the listings to find out.

Extracting Gear Parts

Head over to the [Blacksmith] menu and select [Part Extraction]. If a piece of gear has multiple engravings, you can pick and choose the exact effect you want to strip out. Just a heads-up: there is only a 50% chance of successfully obtaining a tradeable part, and the original gear will be consumed in the process.

Securing that perfect engraving is admittedly a bit of a grind. My advice? If you spot a solid engraving on a lower-tier piece of gear while levelling, extract it and stash the part. You might lose a small amount of 'Whetstone' when dismantling Hero-grade gear or higher, but since there are plenty of ways to farm that later, it is hardly a dealbreaker.

Applying Gear Engravings for new skill options

To apply these, visit the [Blacksmith] and look for [Part Engraving]. Keep in mind that standard skill engravings cap out at +5, while (Reinforcement) skill engravings are limited to +1. The potency of the engraving depends on the part's grade: +1 to +2 for Rare, +1 to +3 for Hero, and +1 to +4 for Legendary.

Success rates hinge on the tier and grade difference between your gear and the part you are using as material. To keep it simple: if the part matches or exceeds the gear's tier and grade, you are looking at a 100% success rate. As of June 30, here is the breakdown for Tier 4 gear.

Marketplace floor prices

The marketplace enforces a minimum listing price for every item. For Tier 4 parts, the floor is set at 40 Dragon Gold (hereinafter 'Gold') for Rare, 310 for Hero, and 1,700 for Legendary. The class-specific parts discussed below are based on listings currently priced above these minimum thresholds.

Mercenary Gear Parts

The 'Heavy Strike' engraving (+4 Legendary) for [Barrage] stands out, commanding a hefty 8,888 Gold. While we cannot verify if it sold at that price, it is certainly the highest asking price at the time of our survey. The (Reinforcement) engraving is also listed at 2,100 Gold. Given that Legendary parts are roughly seven times more valuable than Hero versions in terms of raw engraving stats, 2,100 Gold for a Legendary (Reinforcement) part—compared to 350 Gold for the Hero version—seems like a fair valuation.

Following closely are engravings for [Ruthless Strike]. The 'Duel' engraving (+3 Hero), which significantly boosts damage against single targets, is priced at 1,500 Gold, while the (Reinforcement) and 'Massacre' (+3 Hero) options are holding steady at more than double the floor price.

Curiously, Mercenary parts have a high volume of listings above the floor price, which suggests that the community has yet to settle on a definitive 'meta' build for this class.

Knight Gear Parts

For the Knight, entering the 'Fighting Spirit' state via [Inspire] is non-negotiable, and that requires the (Reinforcement) engraving. Consequently, the Rare part for [Inspire] (Reinforcement) is trading at 160 Gold—the priciest Rare part across all classes. Furthermore, the 'Advance' engraving (+3 Hero), which buffs both the user's and party's Critical Hit Rate and Damage, is fetching 1,300 Gold.

It is also worth noting the high price of the 'Focus' engraving (+3 Hero) for [Two-Handed Thrust], a skill that was previously overlooked in last week's Meca Ranking. This engraving scales damage based on 'Bleed' stacks on the target, making it a natural fit for the Two-Handed Sword's [Continuous Slash] or the Dual Sword's [Double Slash].

Assassin Gear Parts

Skills that trigger the 'Blood Break' effect, such as [Slash] and [Deep Thrust], are driving high prices on the market. In particular, the 'Exploit Weakness' engraving (+3 Hero) for [Slash], which boosts damage against debuffed targets, is listed at a staggering 2,500 Gold—the highest price for any Hero part.

Other listings like the [Slash] 'Contempt for the Weak', [Deep Thrust] 'Fatal Wound', and [Ambush] 'Weaken' are all hovering above 1,000 Gold. The premium prices attached to Assassin parts are a clear indicator of just how popular this class is compared to its peers.
