Evolution System Status

This guide covers the confirmed evolution system and the October demo scope; it does not provide a verified current-build recipe table.

The game features a weapon evolution system, but this page does not provide a verified October-demo recipe, item-level requirement or chest condition. Players should be aware that historical community discussions, such as the June 9, 2026 thread, previously referenced potential pairings—including a report of "Nuin Oil" and "Hourglass"—but these reports are not confirmed for the current game build June 9 2026 old-demo player evolution discussion.
