Version 5.7 Release Date and Details
The Dust of Enlightenment allows you to reroll the sub-stat enhancements of a fully-leveled artifact. If you have a good artifact piece but it rolled to the wrong substats, this item can help you fish for the correct substat!
You can reshape your artifact on the bottom right button inside the Artifact menu interface.
This item also allows you to select two substats you wish to be prioritized. When using 1 Dust of Enlightenment, the item guarantees that you will get at least two rolls on either of your specified substats.
If the resulting reshaped artifact is still not up to your liking, you may choose to keep the original. However, the Dust of Enlightenment will not return to your inventory even if you decide to keep the original enhancements to the substats of the artifact piece!
Amount Needed | Artifact Piece |

Depending on the Artifact Piece, you must use 1 or 2 Dust of Enlightenments. Flowers and Plumes consume only 1 Dust of Enlightenment while Sands, Circlets, and Goblets need 2 Dust of Enlightenments.
Take a look at the bottom of the screen to see how many Dust of Enlightenments will you consume to reshape an Artifact.

![]() Decreed Reshape |

---|---|---|
Requirements | Obtain 6 points in Hallowed Exegesis | Unlock Advanced Reshape x2 |
Effect | At least 3 enhancements to selected substats | At least 4 enhancements to selected substats |
Once you use a Dust of Enlightenment to reroll an Artifact Piece, you will get 1 progress point in Hallowed Exegesis. When you obtain 6 progress points, you will unlock the Advanced Reshape and your chosen substats will get at least 3 enhancements.
After triggering Advanced Reshape twice, Decreed Reshape will take effect and the selected substats will get at least 4 enhancements. In short, if you use 12 Dust of Enlightenments, it is guaranteed that only the selected substats will get enhanced in your next Artifact reroll.
In short use 1 dusk to get 2 guaranteed substats then use 6 to get 3 guaranteed then use 12 to get 4 guaranteed substats (And its double for sands, goblet and circlet).

Note that you are not guaranteed to receive improvements for your selected substats! For example, you select attack and critical rate. You could end up with only attack receiving improvements. IMO this is not a good move on Genshin's part. Dust of Enlightenment is so rare that each substat should always receive at least one improvement. You should also get to keep them if you reject the "improvements".
