Items collected in game have assigned resource values in each of four (4) categories, Elemental, Death, Life, Arcane.
These resource values range from zero (0) to five (5). Each point in a category is displayed as a colored pip on the icon for the item. Values of 0 are not indicated on items.
Items can have wildcard pips instead. Wildcard pips add as many points to any active categories as there are wildcard pips on the icon. Categories that do not have any points allocated will not receive this boost.
Items may also reduce points in active categories.
Threshold Recipes rely on achieving thresholds in each category by adding items into the Soul and Ingredients slots in the crafting interface.
Death must be used to cancel out any Life points when crafting.
The combination of thresholds reached determines the final outcome. Not every combination of thresholds currently results in an outcome.
Note that a Soul is mandatory with threshold recipes.
Each category has three (3) thresholds. Achieving each threshold requires 3 points contributed by items in the Soul and Ingredients slots.
3 points for threshold 1, 6 points for threshold 2 and 9 points for threshold 3.
Excess points do not contribute anything to the outcome.
There are 20 Necromancy Recipes in game.
