Hey gamers, if you’re diving into Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment and want to know what you’re getting into before you start crafting, you’ve come to the right place. Lisbeth’s Rarity 6 Crafting Guide is here to help you navigate the intricate world of weapon crafting. Let’s break down the basics and get you forging those epic weapons.
Crafting Basics
To kick things off in Lisbeth’s workshop, you’ll need 3,000,000 Cor and a stockpile of materials. Be cautious with Ores, as they’re handy for Enhancement too. Stones, Trade Items, and drops are all fair game. Now, let’s delve into some handy tips.
Rerolling
Ever wish you could take another shot at crafting that perfect item? Well, you can! If you’re not happy with the outcome (and with a 50% chance per weapon type, who would blame you?), you can ‘reroll’ your item. Your savegames are tucked away in (by default) C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata[Your steam ID]\638650\remote\savedata. Create new files for each slot, then copy and rename to your desired slot number. Now you’re ready to dive back in.
Weapon Stats
Understanding weapon stats is crucial. The stats listed below are the ‘base’ values. Your added materials will contribute to these. Note that there might be a few quirks in the base stats due to affixes, but the names and special effects should be spot on. Now, let’s break down some weapon categories.

Damage Formula and Statistics: Understanding the damage formula is key. For comparing weapon damage, the formula is:
Skill multiplier * [Damage + Strength + ∑(Attribute% * Number of points in attribute / 10)]
In simpler terms, all sword skills have a base 10% Strength scaling by default. Strength, Vitality, Agility, and Dexterity contribute to Attack, Defense, Evasion, and Accuracy, respectively. Evasion only works without a Shield, so choose wisely based on your playstyle.
Now that you’re armed with this knowledge, go forth and craft those legendary weapons in Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment!
