Inscription



Inscriptions are a type of salvagable weapon upgrade. The were introduced with the release of the Nightfall campaign and replace some of the inherent weapon modifiers used in the Prophecies and Factions campaign, which are not salvagable.

Aquisitions
There are no crafters or traders for inscriptions. They can only be obtained from loot.

You can salvage an inscription from any drop that has one. The inscription is a guaranteed salvage, however, them item has a chance of being destroyed in the process.

Note: Items from Prophecies and Factions have not been converted to the new system, which means their weapon modifiers cannot be salvaged as inscriptions!

Usage
To attach an inscription to a weapon, first click on the inscription (mouse pointer look will change), then double-click on the item that you want to attach it to.

The target item must be of the designated type given in the description. Furthermore it must have an inscription slot. This slot can either be free (in which case the description reads: "Inscription: None") or taken by an other inscription. In the latter case the old inscription will be overwritten. If you want to keep the old inscription you may salvage it to free the slot, but at the risk of the target item being destroyed.

Note: Items from Prophecies and Factions have not been converted to the new system, which means they never'' come with an inscription slot!
