RNG Gods really f***ing with me. I'm 2 pieces off from T2, but I kept failing on my honing. Now I gotta wait maybe a day or 2 to get more mats.

On another note, damn near impossible to do Hildebrandt Abyssal Dungeon with pug groups, everybody I was in kept getting to the same point and wiping

Basically, this is how engravings work, I'll use mine as an example (Gunlancer, Lone Knight, Super Charge):

1. Class Engravings. You have one single class engraving, and eventually multiple general, combat engravings. The class engraving changes how your class works in a fundamental way. This is my class engraving:

You can see how many points I have here, all of which come from different sources. Each tier is a boost to that engraving's abilities, and in order to actually have the effect, you need it to at least reach Lv. 1 (at least 5 points). The points in between don't change anything.

You get can get class engravings from these chests:

Which produce books. Reading 20 books will "learn" the engraving. Learning 20 green books give you 3 points, which allows you to equip the engraving, but not actually get the benefit yet. You can equip the engraving by simply pressing these slots in your char profile and dragging the engraving:

You'll have to get the other two points from accessories, like this:

And then on and on. Once you start getting rare (blue) chests, and get 20 blue books, you'll get an additional 6 points on top of the original 3. I'd just look up the side quests to get these chests if you haven't already done them. The blue chests will require island exploration and show up in later content.

2. Combat Engravings. Same as class engravings, except they're across classes and you can have multiple of them. This is one of my combat engravings:

Instead of chests, they come from these pouches:

Same rules apply. Accessories as well. The only difference in gaining points is that you also have ability stones.

These ability stones are extremely powerful but also pretty RNG. You get one, go to the ability stone cutter, and facet it and pray that you get a good balance of two skills + minimal downsides of the negative engraving.

For sorceress, I would try to aim for:

Ignite (Class) + All-Out Attack (Combat)

OR

Reflux (Class) + Precise Dagger (Combat)

Thanks for the help mane this is rly dope I think I get how it all works for the most part now, was mainly confused by ability stones and how to actually equip engravings since my items have points towards some engravings yet I can't equip them

Sounds like I need some of those chests for the books lol
