The '''Forthragarian Engineering Pod''' is a device located in [[Forthragarian Caves]], behind the Tripartite Barrier. It uses [[Phase Duractor|Phase Duractors]] to upgrade crafting materials to higher tiers. This is currently the only way to obtain some of the highest tiers of certain resources.

== Location ==

The Engineering Pod is located in [[Forthragarian Caves]], which are part of the cave system beneath the [[Povus]] region (area level 90–95). It is situated behind the Tripartite Barrier, which requires all three [[Tripartite Key, Part 1|Tripartite Keys]] to be in your inventory to pass.

== Obtaining Phase Duractors ==

[[Phase Duractor|Phase Duractors]] can be obtained in the following ways:

* '''Gathered''' from filtration devices in [[Errruka's Cave]] and [[Forthragarian Caves]] with 50 [[Gadgeteering]] skill.
* '''Dropped''' by level 90+ mobs.

== What It Will Upgrade ==

One [[Phase Duractor]] will upgrade one batch of materials as follows:

=== Metal Slabs ===

All [[Metal Slab]] tiers upgrade at a '''5→5''' ratio with 1 [[Phase Duractor]], with one exception at the top of the tier chain. The upgrade from [[Extraordinary Metal Slab]] to [[Otherworldly Metal Slab]] is '''1→1'''. This exception is intentional and was confirmed by developer Nikodemus.

|-
| [[Simple Metal Slab]] || [[Basic Metal Slab]] || 5 → 5 || 1
|-

|-
| [[Good Metal Slab]] || [[Expert-Quality Metal Slab]] || 5 → 5 || 1

|-
| [[Marvelous Metal Slab]] || [[Extraordinary Metal Slab]] || 5 → 5 || 1
|-
| [[Extraordinary Metal Slab]] || [[Otherworldly Metal Slab]] || '''1 → 1''' || 1
|}

=== Inks ===

All [[Ink]] types and tiers upgrade at a '''7→7''' ratio with 1 [[Phase Duractor]]. The four ink types are plain Ink, [[Caustic Ink]], [[Holistic Ink]], and [[Volatile Ink]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Input !! Output !! Ratio !! Phase Duractors
|-
| Basic [type] Ink || Advanced [type] Ink || 7 → 7 || 1
|-
| Advanced [type] Ink || Expert [type] Ink || 7 → 7 || 1
|-
| Expert [type] Ink || Amazing [type] Ink || 7 → 7 || 1
|-
| Amazing [type] Ink || Astounding [type] Ink || 7 → 7 || 1
|-
| Astounding [type] Ink || Breathtaking [type] Ink || 7 → 7 || 1
|-
| Breathtaking [type] Ink || Incredible [type] Ink || 7 → 7 || 1
|}

''Note: Plain Ink uses straightforward tier names (e.g. [[Basic Ink]], [[Incredible Ink]]). Caustic and Volatile Ink use slightly different adjective forms at higher tiers ([[Breathtakingly Caustic Ink]], [[Incredibly Caustic Ink]], [[Breathtakingly Volatile Ink]], [[Incredibly Volatile Ink]]). Holistic Ink follows standard naming throughout.''
