Familiar Crystal: Permanent character upgrades and perks
Recommended Videos
The Familiar Crystal is one of the panels you can check out once you’re back in HQ. Much like the other NPCs in the Hall of Reincarnation, it has several character upgrades that are permanent.
The upgrades here are grouped in “rings.” In general, the first upgrade from each familiar only costs five soul shards. The upgrade can either be a relic or legendary weapon that gets added to the loot pool.
The remaining two upgrades, however, have higher costs depending on the grouping/ring:
- Ring of One – The first stat upgrade costs 50 soul shards; the second costs 270.
- Ring of Two – The first stat upgrade costs 110 soul shards; the second costs 270.
- Ring of Three – The first stat upgrade costs 290 soul shards; the second costs 400.
- Ring of Four – The first stat upgrade costs 290 soul shards; the second costs 400.
