Driftsmelting
Driftsmelting is a feature that allows you to attach skills to equipment by using driftstones obtained from slaying monsters.
After obtaining a driftstone, head to the driftsmelting menu, then select your driftstone to begin smelting. The driftsmelting process will be completed after walking a certain distance. However, Insta-Smelt Solution can be used to complete the process immediately.
Driftsmelting becomes available after completing the Pre-Season Story.
To perform Driftsmelting, your equipment must have driftsmelt slots and be overgraded to a specified grade. The grade at which driftsmelt slots become available varies by equipment.
Some equipment may have multiple driftsmelt slots.
A maximum of 10 skills imparted via driftsmelting can be saved to a piece of equipment. Saved skills can be changed at any time.
Driftstone
Driftstones can sometimes be obtained as a reward for slaying large monsters. There are several types of Driftstones, each offering different obtainable skills. In addition to a skill, one of the following parameters: Attack, Defense, or Affinity, is randomly added. The value of each parameter is also determined randomly. The potential skills that can be obtained from a Driftstone can be viewed by tapping on the Driftstone.
In order to obtain driftstones, you need the app version V76.1 and above. You cannot obtain Driftstones using app versions V76.0 or older.
You can hold a maximum of nine Driftstones. If you already have nine, you cannot obtain any more.
Unwanted driftstones can be deleted.
You can use "Double Rewards" or a Carving Knife to increase the number of driftstones you are acquiring.
You cannot obtain driftstones before driftsmelting is unlocked.
If you have 9 driftstones, you cannot acquire a new driftstone.
Driftsmelting Tank
The Driftsmelting Tank is a device used for driftsmelting. In the Driftsmelting Tank, you can driftsmelt one driftstone at a time.
You can also use an Insta-Smelt Solution to complete the process immediately.

If Driftsmelting is performed on equipment that already has saved skills, a confirmation screen will appear after smelting to decide whether to replace the existing skills with new ones.
Equipment can save up to 10 skills, and these can be changed at any time.
Please note that if Driftsmelting is performed on equipment that already has 10 saved skills, you will need to delete either the newly generated skill or one of the existing skills after smelting.

Each time you perform driftsmelting, Driftstone Shard will be obtained as a byproduct of the process. Once you have enough driftstone shards, you can exchange them for driftstones.
