Gypsum is a new endgame system that arrived with Update 1.2 on December 16, 2021 that adds guaranteed Expertise progression for Level 60 players. This guide will show you how to use Gypsum and how to get each Gypsum type in the game. Read on to learn more!

How to Use Gypsum

1	Head over to any of the following high-level regions: Ebonscale Reach, Reekwater, Shattered Mountain, Edengrove, or Great Cleave.
2	Interact with the Tier 5 Gypsum Kiln found in the settlement or outpost.
3	Use collected Gypsum to craft a Gypsum Orb. Each Gypsum type will require a different amount when crafting an Orb.
4	Use the crafted Gypsum Orb to craft any of the Gypsum Equipment Casts. Each cast can only be crafted once every 24 hours*.
5	Open up the crafted Gypsum Cast to increase the Expertise Level of the chosen armor, trinket, or weapon type.

The cooldown on crafting a certain cast is a full 24 hours and not a global reset.

How to Get Each Gypsum Type

Each type of Gypsum will require players to complete different kinds of end-game activities. Use the links below to quickly jump to each Gypsum type and find out how to get them!

All Gypsum Types
Obsidian	Sapphire	Ruby	Emerald
Citrine	Amethyst	Topaz	Diamond

Obsidian Gypsum

Req. Number of Gypsum for a Gypsum Orb
Gypsum Orb	Obsidian Gypsum x3

Obsidian Gypsum can be acquired by defeating level 60+ open world named bosses. Do note that the gypsum drop is not guaranteed, sometimes requiring multiple runs at a boss to obtain 3.

While Elite Landmarks are the best for continuous farm, the easiest 60+ open world boss to farm as a solo would be Ivan the Inevitable in Ebonscale Reach. He can be found inside the church of Skysong Crypt.

Sapphire Gypsum

Req. Number of Gypsum for a Gypsum Orb
Gypsum Orb	Sapphire Gypsum x1

Sapphire Gypsum will drop once players defeat either of the final bosses of The Lazarus Instrumentality and Garden of Genesis expeditions. Run any of the two to get Sapphire Gypsum.
