Caretaker's Workshop Guide

Upgrade Using Mementos

The main purpose of collecting Mementos is to upgrade the Caretaker's Workshop located at the Lighthouse. The Caretaker's Workshop allows you to upgrade items and abilities, as well as enchant items.

Workshop Rank Affects the Item Level

The Caretaker's Workshop can be upgraded until Rank 10 and items can be upgraded up until the workshop's current rank. Also, the level of the items you find or buy from shops is based on the workshop's current rank.

With this, it is important to find Mementos to increase the Caretaker's Workshop rank for you to obtain strong items!

Higher Rank Unlocks Enchantments

New enchantments for items and abilities can also be unlocked based on the Caretaker's Workshop rank. An enchantment provides a boost to specific weapon or ability stat.
