Quests & Services

The Elder Melder allows some items to be melded into rarer/more useful ones. She adds more items as you advance the main story and beat new foes, unlocking rare materials and elemental based decorations.

Once the Hunter finds a Streamstone (after Land of Convergence), it unlocks the First Wyverian ritual, allowing you to "reroll" unused decorations into random new ones.

Once the Hunter kills Safi'jiiva or Master Rank Kulve Taroth, it unlocks the respective Sealing or Awakening Alchemies, allowing you to meld monster materials for new weapons and those weapons into upgrade materials.

Item Melding

• Consumable Items can be melded from a multitude of materials, some giving bonus melding points at certain intervals, Tailraider Voucher, some Arena Coins, First Wyverian Print, Commendation, High Commendation and Research Commission Ticket. Some consumable items such as Banishing Ball, Mega Demondrug and Mega Armorskin, Screamer Pod and Dash Juice are difficult or impossible to get anywhere else, so melding them instead of crafting is recommended.
• Uncommon High Rank materials can be melded from Steel Wyverian Print.
• Rare  High Rank materials, including monster plates, can be melded from Silver Wyverian Print.
• High Rank monster Gems can be melded from Gold Wyverian Print.
• Rare Master Rank materials, including monster mantles, can be melded from Celestial Wyverian Print.
• Some Guiding Lands materials can be melded from other similar materials. Typically you can downgrade a monster's Tempered GL materials for regular ones on a 1:1 cost, but you can usually use other monster materials for less melding points as well.
• Silver and Gold Melding Tickets, used for Guild Alchemy, can be melded from Master Rank Festival tickets, such as Joyful Ticket and VIP Joyful Ticket.
• Event Fireworks and Snowmen can be melded from Festival tickets, such as Spring Blossom Ticket.
• Since patch 15.10.00, all festival tickets can be melded using their counterparts from other festivals (3:1 ratio). It is not required to have participated in a festival to meld the tickets from that festival.

First Wyverian Ritual

• Coral Concoction ritual grants up to three Glowing Feystones at the cost of 1x Streamstone, 24-72 Melding Points and 250-750 RP.
• Strange Stream ritual grants up to three Worn Feystones at the cost of 1x Gleaming Streamstone, 36-108 Melding Points and 400-1200 RP.
• Strange Stream+ ritual grants up to three Warped Feystones at the cost of 1x High Commendation and appraised Streamstones such as Warrior's Streamstone: Sword as melding ingredients.
• Soul Stream I ritual grants you up to three Ancient Feystones at the cost of 5x Spiritvein Slogbone, 96-288 Melding Points and 500-1500 RP.

Rarer decorations give more melding points than the common ones.
