How to use the item maker

    Pick a class

    Weapon, Vitality or Spirit sets the card colors and loads an example. Once you start editing, switching class keeps your work.

    Choose an icon

    Use one of the game’s item icons, or upload a PNG, JPG or WebP up to 5 MB.

  3. 3
    Name it and set the cost

    Give the item a name and a soul cost. Both show in the card header.

  4. 4
    Add base stats

    Enter a value and choose the stat. Add a before and after, like 750 > 800, if you want to show the change.

  5. 5
    Write the ability

    Choose Passive or Active, add a cooldown and a description. Select words and press Bold to highlight them. Stats from the list get their game icon; pick Custom label to type your own, and tick Conditional when it only applies sometimes.
