What Is Meta Crafting?
Meta crafting, also known as metamorphosis crafting, refers to the process of rebirthing an item that already has modifiers, whether it’s a prefix, suffix, or both, with new ones. It allows players to manipulate or reshape the item’s potential and attributes, giving it an additional layer of value, excitement, or rarity.
