# Specialist Card Augments

**Specialist Card Augments** are a new feature for **NosVarya** players that allow you to **enhance your Specialist Cards (SP)**, making them stronger and more effective in **PvE or PvP** content.

In addition to the stat improvements, augmented Specialist Cards **change their appearance in the inventory**, making them easy to distinguish from non-augmented cards.

<h2 align="center"><mark style="color:yellow;">Purpose of Specialist Card Augments</mark></h2>

The main goal of this system is to **improve and specialize SP performance**, allowing:

* Underperforming Specialist Cards to become viable,
* PvE-oriented SPs to be stronger in end-game content,
* PvP-oriented SPs to be competitive in player combat,
* Clear distinction between **PvE**, **PvP**, and **default** Specialist Cards.

A Specialist Card can visually exist in three different states:

* ![](https://184385222-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVEJhB8Nzrd87iRrePOMc%2Fuploads%2FFNiB8zuBKCQyYn5tdLWY%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=f881d14d-e5f0-4f92-a16c-c00fb7e918bf) \[**PvP] Specialist Card** (PvP augment applied)

To apply an augment to a Specialist Card, you must **craft one of the 8 Dragon Gems**.\
Crafting Dragon Gems requires special materials obtained from:

* **Dragon Rush**
* **A8 Dragon Cores** (and Core Fragments)

Dragon Gems are the key items used to enhance Specialist Cards.

To craft Dragon Gems, **Dragon Cores and Core Fragments must first be converted into Core Dust**.

<h2 id="core-dust-and-eternal-dragonfire" align="center"><mark style="color:yellow;">Core Dust &#x26; Eternal Dragonfire?</mark></h2>

There are different types of Core Dust depending on the intended use:

* **PvE Core Dust**
* **PvP Core Dust**

The type of Dust obtained depends on the Core or Fragment selected and determines which Dragon Gem can be crafted.

Dragon Cores and Core Fragments **cannot be pulverized directly**.\
To convert them into Dust, you need **Eternal Dragonfire**, a special consumable item.

<h4 align="center"><mark style="color:yellow;">How to obtain Eternal Dragonfire</mark></h4>

<p align="center">Eternal Dragonfire is <strong>crafted or extracted from Dragon Scale Essences</strong> using the appropriate recipe.<br><img src="https://184385222-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVEJhB8Nzrd87iRrePOMc%2Fuploads%2FcVFHh121Uuj9xTSWu9BM%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=20d2a20f-e803-4772-8ac8-9c5cdb340d0a" alt=""></p>

<h4 align="center">Important cost rule</h4>

* **Each pulverization consumes 1x Eternal Dragonfire**
* This cost applies **even when destroying a full Dragon Core**
* Because of this, using Eternal Dragonfire on **full cores is more efficient** (3x Dust for the same cost)

<h3 align="center"><mark style="color:yellow;">Converting Cores into Dust (Step-by-Step)</mark></h3>

1. Obtain or craft **Eternal Dragonfire**.
2. Speak with the **Legendary Blacksmith**.
3. Use the dialogue Exchange PvE Core or Exchange PvP Core\

2. Apply the Dragon Gem to your Specialist Card to **enhance it for PvE or PvP** and change its inventory appearance.

<h2 align="center"><mark style="color:yellow;">Quick Summary</mark></h2>

* Specialist Card Augments enhance SPs for **PvE or PvP** and change their visual appearance.
* Augments are applied using **Dragon Gems**, crafted from **Dragon Rush** and **A8 Dragon Core** materials.
* Dragon Cores and Fragments are converted into **Core Dust** using **Eternal Dragonfire** (Fragments = 1 Dust, Full Cores = 3 Dust).

You can use any Gem on an already Augmented Specialist Card to change the effect and even switch the type from PvE to PvP and vice versa. \
However, you won't get a previously applied Dragon Gem back, so use these Dragon Gems wisely! \
Gem To craft any PvE Gem, you will need the following items:
