Unlike the Fallen God/Labreska, Ator’s Shoes have 2 different versions you can choose between, depending on whether you are going for a Damage Reduction or Evasion build. You can also swap between the two shoes through an exchange quest.

How to Obtain

To craft the Ator’s Shoes, you must be level 56+ and obtain the relevant items.

You will need the items for one of these 3 options:

	Quest Name	Requirements
Option 1	[Crafting] Ator’s Shoes – Blackstar Shoes	PEN: Blackstar Shoes  Flame of Resonance x1
Option 2	[Crafting] Ator’s Shoes – Urugon’s Shoes	PEN: Urugon’s Shoes (Caphras Lv. 10)  Flame of Resonance x1
Option 3	[Crafting] Ator’s Shoes – Muskan’s Shoes	PEN: Muskan’s Shoes (Caphras Lv. 10)  Flame of Resonance x1

It is recommended to use PEN Urugon’s Shoes or PEN Muskan’s Shoes since the PEN Blackstar is difficult it is to obtain. It is much easier to get a PEN boss armor, then upgrade the armor with caphras.

Since there are also 2 different types of the Ator’s Shoes, the version you obtain depends on the shoes you use:

• if you use PEN Blackstar or PEN Urugon’s Shoes, you will obtain the Damage Reduction (blue version) of Ator’s Shoes
• If you use PEN Muskan’s Shoes, you will obtain the Evasion (green version) of Ator’s Shoes

  The number of Caphras Stones needed:

With the items in your inventory, you can then proceed with the “[Crafting] Ator’s Shoes” quest from Durgeff at Atessahra.

• The quest is only available if you are level 56+
• If you cannot see the quest, make sure all quests are turned ON at the bottom of your Quest Log (O). The icons should all be yellow!

Flame of Resonance

You can craft a Flame of Resonance by Processing > Heating 100 Embers of Resonance

Both the Embers and Flame of Resonance have a low chance of dropping from monsters in the Dark Seeker’s Retreat monster zone. The flame can also be bought from the central market. I would advise putting a pre-order on the item as early as possible since it can take months for the pre-order to go through.

Dark Seeker’s Retreat Grinding Spot

Dark Seeker’s Retreat is a solo, end-game grind spot with high difficulty. The monsters here are Demihuman type.

• Recommended AP: 310
• Recommended DP: 420

Possible loot you can obtain from monsters at Dark Seeker’s Retreat:

Item Name	Description
Decayed Cloth	This is the new trash loot you can obtain from Dark Seeker’s Retreat. The trash loot has a selling price of 45,570 silver.
Ember of Resonance	Can be processed (L) using the Heating option to craft Flame of Resonance (Ember of Resonance x100 required)

Ator’s Shoes Exchange Quest

Since there are 2 different versions of the Ator’s Shoes, you can exchange between the two whenever you like.

• The quest is obtained from Durgeff NPC in Ateshsara
• When you complete the exchange quest, the family name of the adventurer who completed the exchange quest will be engraved regardless of the family name engraved on the shoes previously.
• The quest is a recurring quest, so there is no limit to the number of times you can complete it.

Quest NPC	Requirements	Completion reward
Durgeff (Located in Atessahra)	Hand over 1 pair of Ator’s Shoes Hand over Scorching Sun Shard x200	1 pair of Ator’s Shoes – different from the one handed over (Same level of enhancement)

• Scorching Sun Shards are obtainable from Calpheon Elvia grind zones.

How to Enhance

Just like the Fallen God Armor, Labreska Helmet and Dahn’s Gloves, the Ator’s Shoes are tricky to enhance.

The Ator’s Shoes have the same stats as PEN Blackstar Shoes but can be enhanced from base to PEN. The % chance of success is very low.

Due to how difficult the item is to enhance, most players enhance to DUO and then come back to the item at a later date with cron stones to do TRI attempts with a high stack.

Each attempt requires a  Flawless Chaotic Black Stone and a failed attempt reduces 30 max durability. You can use Cron stones but it is very costly and there is no Caphras levels or force enhance option for this item.

To create a Flawless Chaotic Black Stone you will need:

You can also use Black Stone Powder x1 with either recipe to make x10 at once

Failstack Chart

Dahn’s Gloves have the same failstack % chance as Fallen God Armor, so you can refer to the image below for optimal failstacks and cron stone cost.
