If there's anything we've learned so far playing Edge of Eternity, it's that many of its concepts are as old as they are new. This pattern proves true for the game's weapon upgrade system as well.

If you've finished the tutorial already, you know that Edge of Eternity's crystal system is straightforward at first glance. However, the system's insistence on picking one path of progression at a time adds more weight to your decisions. So keep reading, and we'll help you make the most out of your crystals in any situation.

Weapons develop independently of their wielders in Edge of Eternity. Therefore, you'll need to level up every new weapon you equip to unlock its full potential. Luckily, weapons raise levels much faster than your characters will, so upgrading them isn't so cumbersome.

However, there are still plenty of limits. For instance, weapons have much lower level caps. As an example, Daryon's Stone Cutter caps at level ten. These level caps increase the need to craft new, more powerful weapons.

In turn, this establishes a weapon progression that feels cyclical. You equip a new weapon, level it up, stack it with some gemstones, reach its cap, gather new weapon recipes and materials, craft, and repeat.

Furthermore, weapons become further enhanced by the crystals you equip to them. Crystals affect your battle performance in several ways. First, they can add to your character's stats, making them stronger. Second, some crystals contain spell abilities that you can cast against opponents.

This crystal system is malleable yet strict, simple yet
