Still to be finished -

This tutorial is by the community, for the community.

Basic modifying tutorial:

Go talk to the Dwarf in Shinjuku Babel, he'll explain it pretty well. Or, just go buy a Cabinet-Pro for each item you want to use to upgrade. Once you have the cabinets & items to modify your weapon with, unequip your weapon, double-click on the cabinet to use, double click on your weapon to bring it into the cabinet window, then double-click on the item you want to use to upgrade it.

When modifying, you have to start off with the +1 modification item for the appropriate slot. For example, your first modification item for Magic, slot 1, would be a Dis Stone.

The cabinet window tells you the chance of failing. If you fail, all that happens is the item you attempted to use to upgrade your weapon is destroyed. You have a chance of Success or Great Success - Success means you succeeded in adding 1 stat to your weapon, Great Success means 2 (or possibly more, not sure on this).

Upgrading slots:

You can "stack" modification items of the same attribute in your slot. For example: once your item is +1, you can upgrade that same slot with the next modification item, +2, and so on. You just open the cabinet, put in your weapon, and put the next item in the slot. You can get your weapon to +10 of your chosen attribute doing this.

I dont udnerstand, for +3, or +7 you need to socket a weapon?

Ive been waiitng for aguide on this bit i am still a bit confused.

Modification of a weapon requires the weapon to already have a slot. Slotted weapons are either dropped from enemies or crafted.

Then you need to buy a Cabinet from a magic shop, and have on hand the item to use on the slot. (Note that Slot 1 takes different items from Slot 2, and so forth) When upgrading, you have to start from the +1 in a category, and work your way up. For LNG-R in Slot 1, for instance, you'd need Incense of the Novice for the first point, Aquamarine for the second, Sapphire for the third, and a Plasma Rifle for the fourth. (You cannot, for instance, just start with plasma rifle)

is uprading a big improvement? Does it chang the weapon or something, requiring another wepaon to slot seems fairly weird.

Do you need a certain expertise to perfect slotting?

oohh nice job ^^

It does help quite a bit, I got my kotetsu ll to +4 and it made a pretty nice difference. My gf had +11 total crystal sword and it was insane damage. It does not change the weapon, it just makes it stronger.

the system needs to be edited, extreme failure should be removed ort he chance of it happening should be dropped to the extreme. Socketed weapons are so rare already, losing them out right shouldnt even be an option.

It would be better if extreme failure removed its ability to be socketed.

add wild spear too the slot to crit list, +4, it drops off the naga under shinjuku babel, got 2 of them so far. comes with 2 slots too.

For Slot 1:
LNG-R 5 Desert Rambus(Pistol) and LNG-R 6 Nambu Type 100(Pistol)

Both sold at Home 3 Weapon shop.

Added, thanks.

Serious failure doesn't make you lose the weapon, as explained in this guide. It only makes you lose the item you are attempting to use to modify your weapon.

In game it does say it results in "Loss of modifiable item", but this is a mistranslation. It shouldn't be "modifiable item" but "modification item".
