How to facet Ability Stones in Lost Ark

Ability Stones are an important item in the MMORPG, Lost Ark, as gear that helps you get stronger. More specifically, Ability Stones provides tons of nodes for Engravings, which allow you to gain special buffs for your characters. You want to facet these Ability Stones to get the most nodes you can.

Visit an Ability Stone Cutter, which is marked in every town by a blue crystal. Here is the Ability Stone Cutter in Vern Castle:

Talk to the Stone Cutter and mouse over to the Ability Stone you want to refine.

Your goal in faceting Ability Stones is to gain nodes for the top two rows while missing the bottom row. You can choose to facet an ability above. For example, if you want to gain more nodes for Vital Point Hit, you hit the hammer next to it.

If you gain a node, the crystal will glow blue and be marked with “+1. But if you fail…

The diamond will lose a glow and turn gray. The success rate for gaining a node decreases with each successful attempt. In the scenario above, you have a 45% chance to fail at the bottom row, with a 45% chance to succeed at the top two rows.

To use a stone, you need to finish both rows. Keep the red nodes as low as possible.

Now, you can go to your inventory, and equip the finished Ability Stone. Right-click it or drag it into your Ability Stone slot to equip it if you got good rolls. Otherwise, you can dismantle it to get Power of Mystery which you can use to craft more Ability Stones later.
