Listed in the menu but not opened in any video we read: ???, Bone Sword, Crystal Scythe, Crystal Sword, Hunter Bow, Health Potion, Bandage, armor sets (Diamond, Jungle, Cobra, Crystal). The Update 1.5 notes say the Crystal Blade, Crystal Scythe and full Crystal Armor are crafted from the five ores, and the Jungle notes add Diamond, Jungle and Cobra armor sets plus the Diamond Sword, Jungle Great Sword and Jungle Hammer.
Dismantle Mode
Press Dismantle Mode, pick the spare items and confirm. The screen reads "Dismantle Equipment to get Upgrade Shards!" and "Destroys the equipment for Shards of the same Rarity." Common gear gives Common Shards, Rare gives Rare, and so on. Equipped items have to be unequipped first ("Unequip it first.").
Upgrading
The Upgrade station ("Select an Equipment to Upgrade!") takes shards of the item's rarity plus Coins. In Gravy Live's video a Common scythe went from 32.5 to 35.8 damage (about +10%) for 1 Common Shard and 100 Coins, and the game said "Not enough shards" when he tried again. The Max a Weapon badge is for reaching upgrade level 10; 1.5% of players have it.
Materials and where they come from
- Wood: pine trees in the grasslands (the Mayor's quest asks for 20).
- Iron, Gold, Diamond, Crystal and Coal ore: ore spots in the cave. See the mining page.
- Cobweb: the Spider, every kill.
- Egg, Milk, Apple: Chickens and Cows; see the enemy drop tables.
- Shards: dismantling, Shard Chests and the Merchant; odds are on the items page.
Crafting FAQ
How do I craft the Jungle Bow in Poly Loot?
75 Jungle Wood, 50 Cobwebs and 30 Iron Ore at the Crafting station (Weapons tab). Cobwebs drop from the Spider 100 times in 100, Jungle Wood comes from Jungle trees, and arrows cost 2 Wood and 1 Iron Ore per 8. Ranger Bex asks you to craft one in the Jungle.
What is the ??? recipe in the crafting menu?
The first line of the Weapons tab is a locked recipe shown only as "???". A reply in ItzVexo's comments calls it a godsword made from six elements, one per area, which cannot be finished yet; nothing official confirms that. See the elementals page for the three elemental swords that exist today.
Should I dismantle bad drops?
Yes, once you have something better equipped. Dismantling "destroys the equipment for Shards of the same Rarity", and shards plus Coins pay for every upgrade.
