How to Upgrade and Level Skills in Crystalfall
This guide explains how to upgrade skills in Crystalfall using the Tinkerbox system. You will learn how to increase skill rarity, reroll nodes, and optimize your build progression.
To upgrade your skills, you must first unlock the Tinkerbox. It becomes available after completing the quest: "The Breach Engine Reforged".
- Open your Inventory
- Click "Crafting"
- Or press hotkey F
Drag the skill you want to upgrade into the Tinkerbox window.
1. Upgrade Skill Rarity
This option allows you to upgrade skill rarity from: Common → Rare → Legendary → Mythic. Remember, there is a chance of not upgrading a skill and destroying one of the nodes.
- Common → Rare: Alchemist's Lesser Module + Shards
- Rare → Legendary: Alchemist's Module + Shards
- Legendary → Mythic: Alchemist's Greater Module + Shards
All module recipes can be found in the Fusing section.
2. Shuffle Skill Row
This option allows you to reroll nodes inside a selected row. Starting from the third row (Rare rarity), you can get nodes when shuffling that are hidden, since your rarity is not fully upgraded.
- Choose a row
- Spend Shards
- Nodes will be randomized
More information about this mechanic on the Skill Leveling page.
After completing the nodes, you can upgrade the selected nodes using the Skill Key. Open the skill tree with Ctrl + LMB and select the desired nodes. Insert the appropriate Crest into the topmost node.
- Upgrade rarity early for stronger base stats
- Save Shards for high-tier upgrades
- Use Shuffle only when build is close to optimal
- Combine both systems for best results
The Tinkerbox system is the core of skill progression in Crystalfall. By combining rarity upgrades and node rerolls, you can significantly increase your power.
Mastering this system is essential for endgame builds and optimization.
