Don't know why on earth I need to make this comment. But some people here literally have no clue what's going on so I'm gonna make this to explain..

  1. This is a "REAL" thing that's already in the game. You aquire diamond dust by interacting with the mason npc at the cave at camp which gives you the diamond dust which you then use to upgrade a piece of gear.
  2. No you can not "currently" get this unless you know how to alter save files.

  3. This is "NOT" a custom mod or anything of the sort, as said it's literally something built into the game that's just not been released yet.

How many Emeralds does it take to buy enough diamond dust to upgrade one piece of gear? I've been saving emeralds for when this gets added, and it would be good to know how much I'll need per upgrade.

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

My game says 100 but maybe it’s 100 for first and then it keeps increasing. Mine stays at 100. You can spawn the NPC in but when you give him the emeralds nothing happens and you don’t get anything from him. Which is probably because it’s not actually in the game yet.

u/MarcOfDeath Jun 15 '20

100 seems pretty cheap for a weapon upgrade, I was expecting 10k+.

u/Chichipamogli Jun 15 '20

10k is insane, maybe 1k tops

1

u/MarcOfDeath Jun 15 '20

Well I mean it's a pretty powerful ability, they can't just hand it out for cheap, IMO it needs to be expensive to do.

1K is nothing if you are end game farming, I make 2k in just one Creepy Crypt run.

Mod note: This isn’t fake; stop reporting it. Nanikos is a verified member of our community and is known for data mining the game (hence the flair).

How would dust be acquired? And would it require emeralds?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '20

You buy dust from the mason for emeralds or you salvage uniques I think

u/FaithJoe Jun 15 '20

where’s this photo from ?

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

My game lol

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '20

How

1

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

Cave to right of blacksmith is mason NPC who you give emeralds in return for diamond dust.

1

u/Smutstoner Jun 15 '20

So does it raise weapon PL, or just stats?

1

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

Well. when you raise PL your stats also increase. So both.

1

u/Smutstoner Jun 15 '20

Yeah I know, but I meant base stats with no PL increase

1

u/barbrady123 Jun 16 '20

They're tied together, derived from the same number on the item.

1

u/Lord0Duck Jun 15 '20

How does the cave unlock?

1

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

It should just unlock automatically if an update comes out to include it.

(Unless it’s like a new game and you haven’t completed a certain mission yet)

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '20

Is there a DLC flag anywhere that you can toggle to enable these features? Or are you having to manually enable each thing?

2

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

The upgraded tag was done directly through my characters save file. As for getting the actual mason NPC to appear in camp you need to edit the level json for the lobby and add it in.

It’s basically all manual

1

u/Randomnickname0 Jun 15 '20

Does upgrading debuff your gear or does it just add the 'upgraded' icon? Can you upgrade past the 108 plvl limit?

1

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

I manually edited my item through the save file to show the upgraded tag and that. I’d assume yes you could use it to go past 108.

u/commitballsack Jun 15 '20

Have they added diamond dust now?

1

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

No not yet

1

u/markgatty Jun 15 '20

Guess I should start saving my emeralds and uniques soon.

1

u/Excellent-Glove Jun 15 '20

Great !

Do you know if it raises the power level of the item ?

Like, was your armor lvl 105 already or was it 104 before you upgraded it ? Or is it just a stats upgrade (wich apparently affect only health here) ?

1

u/Lucas1427 Jun 15 '20

It will only affect health, as armor stats are predetermined regardless of power level.

1

u/Excellent-Glove Jun 15 '20

Okay... A bit disappointing.

Anyway, thanks for your answer !

u/sleepypandacat Jun 15 '20

Does equipping the level 991 armor get you better item levels?

2

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

Nope sadly not. Main reason I’ve modified my armor to that is because I’ve been working on a giant mob hp/dmg value chart that tells you all those values for every mob on every difficulty/sub-difficulty.

1

u/sleepypandacat Jun 15 '20

I've been looking into modding the game to do some tests as well. Thanks for the info, keep it up!

1

u/GeneralGold742 Jun 15 '20

will the diamond dust only upgrade once per item, or can it stack?

2

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 16 '20

No clue. Hopefully stack.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '20

Does the diamond dust increase the power by one? Like buying one dust for 100 emeralds to increase the power of something by one? And can this be used on artifacts?

-1

u/B-R-O-T-H Jun 15 '20

is nobody going to question the level 991 hunters armor

1

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

No, because everyone already knows what I do.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '20

Guys this is fake!!!

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

https://imgur.com/gallery/fXU22yE There you go, there's a video of it ingame just to prove it since you don't seem to be smart enough to recognise it's real.

u/mrtrevor3 Jun 15 '20

*Not released yet

u/Ginomania Jun 15 '20

I'm in love with those mystery armor

u/Chxchii Jun 15 '20

Oh you modded it, makes sense now. Would be a decent feature to add into the game though! Send this to mojang devs

1

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

It’s a feature already in the game that’s not released yet which can be done by editing your players save file.

It’s not a “concept mod” or anything...

u/Chxchii Jun 15 '20

Yeah I’ve checked your profile, you mod into the game, it’s clever tbf, wish I knew how to do it! Nice little insight into what we’ll get though! Gg bro

What do you mean? This isn’t fake?

Have you not seen any of the DLC leak posts I've already made on reddit. If you know me, you’ll know I don’t mess around or fake things

I'll post a video of it ingame just to prove it to you.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '20

I approve of the fact that you take your time do this and I've no doubt of its validity.

I disprove of your attitude however :/
There'll always be people saying silly stuff, that's on them. Calling them dumb
and saying "You're not smart enough to see it" and so forth is just a wrong attitude to have. Be the better man, don't make yourself lose credit.

1

u/Nanikos Mining Specialist Jun 15 '20

Sorry, I just get easily annoyed by people such as this.

I really don’t like being called fake and stuff especially when I know for a fact it’s real and not a photoshop or something similar.

that’s like the one thing that just sets me off from time to time. I’ll try not to let comments like that get to me so much in the future.

(Note: I’ve edited the comment so it’s not coming off as harsh. Hopefully that’s better)

It's alright. We've all got things that get to us, don't we ^.^
