This is to deny equipment recycling once a Hero gets better alternatives, ultimately destroying “early level content”. Also it denies using the same equipment on multiple Heroes to clear challenging content.
Attunement can have three values: “**Bind on Equip**”, “**Bind on Pickup**” or “**Fleeting**” * **On Equip** (most Equipment): This piece is not attuned immediately, but will be once it gets equipped to a Hero. This means as long as no Hero has worn it, it can be freely traded and equipped by a Hero of the buyer. * Attunement can be **broken** for “On Equip”-items, resetting them to the original state, but it is exponentially more expensive, the higher the Tier of the piece is: * **Common**: 2,500x , 10x Crystal * **Uncommon**: 5,000x , 20x Crystal * **Rare**: 7,500x , 30x Crystal * **Epic**: 10,000x , 40x Crystal, 1x Chaos Seed Icon * **Legendary**: 25,000x , 50x Crystal, 1xTitanium Splinter Icon * **Mythic**: 50,000x , 100x Crystal, 1xPhoenix Feather Icon * Instead of paying that cost, you can sever the Attunement with a single **Soulshears**, a consumable that matches the rarity of the piece: * **Lesser Soulshears** — **Common** and **Uncommon** Equipment * **Soulshears** — **Rare** and **Epic** Equipment * **Greater Soulshears** — **Legendary** and **Mythic** Equipment * One Soulshears is consumed per break, and it replaces the resource cost entirely - it is an alternative payment, not a discount. The Equipment screen offers both options side by side ("**Pay to break Attunement**" and "**Use \ to break Attunement**"); the Soulshears option stays locked until you hold the matching one. * Either way, the piece has to be **unequipped** first, and only Equipment that can be broken at all can be broken with Soulshears. * **On Pickup** (for special Equipment): This equipment is automatically attuned to the Hero who earned it (e.g. by defeating an enemy or completing a quest) * Attunement of Bind on Pickup items cannot be broken. Those items are meant to be only accessible through gameplay and not via purchase. * **Fleeting**: This piece does not attune, it can be equipped/unequipped by any Hero without restrictions
