How Gear and Purification Work in Crimson Moon
Understand the find, purify, equip, and upgrade lifecycle for Crimson Moon gear without confusing temporary run items with permanent progress.
What does purification do?
Purification allows eligible discoveries to become part of your permanent Armory rather than disappearing with run-only progress. Exact item values and drop locations remain unlisted until verified.
Where do upgrades happen?
Official support places permanent crafting and upgrading at the Blacksmith in Sanctus Clypeus. Your nine-piece setup is described in Loadout and Inventory.
What should you keep in mind?
Failure can separate retained progress from temporary gains; read Death Progression. For planning, use Build Fundamentals and Weapon Compare without treating missing data as zero.
