Substance Transformation is, in essence, medieval alchemy. You turn multiple unwanted items you have into a single brand-new item. The conservation of energy and mass be damned.

- To raise a Tier, you need to sacrifice materials worth 2501 Points. You can basically use anything as a sacrifice, but you'll mostly use blue and purple gear because they are the most common items to acquire. Here are the point values for each piece of gear.
- Rare (Blue) Weapon: 437 Points
- Rare (Blue) Armor and Accessories: 218.5 Points
- T1 Epic (Purple) Weapon: 2182 Points
- T1 Epic (Purple) Armor and Accessories: 1091 Points
- T2 Epic (Purple) Weapon: 6546 Points
- T2 Epic (Purple) Armor and Accessories: 3273 Points
- The system allows you to choose the loot table from which you want to receive a reward. You can receive a reward from the weapon, armor, accessory loot table, or all of them. Choosing all loot tables is not ideal, as you usually are aiming for a specific item.
- Many players choose the accessory loot table because you're able to acquire BiS accessories that are difficult to acquire elsewhere, like Transcendent Magic Ring and Tycan's Bloodlust Belt.

You can do the same exact thing with Runes instead of equipment. Just switch the tab!
The most important part is the rewards for each tier! There are a total of 6 Tiers, and each tier rewards progressively more Rune Hammers, Rune Chance Chest, and Rune Fragments.
Click the % icon to the right of the Expected Tier Reward to see the rewards for each tier.
