Modded Prisms are crafted at the Workbench using a Prism, a Shard, and Lumenite Crystals

To make a Modded Prism in Remnant 2 on PC, you need three things: a base Prism (the weapon mod itself), a Shard that determines what the mod does, and Lumenite Crystals as the crafting material. You combine these at any Workbench — the crafting station you'll find in your hub area and in most safe zones throughout the game. The Workbench menu has a dedicated section for mod crafting, separate from weapon upgrades.

The process itself takes only a few seconds once you have the materials. Your new Modded Prism appears in your inventory when ready, and you can equip it to any weapon that accepts mods. If you don't have all three materials, the Workbench will tell you exactly what's missing and how many you need.

Key Takeaways

  • You need a Prism, a Shard, and Lumenite Crystals before you can craft a Modded Prism at the Workbench.
  • Shards determine the effect your Modded Prism will have — different Shards create different mods with different abilities.
  • Lumenite Crystals drop from defeated enemies and can also be found in chests and breakable objects throughout the world.
  • The Workbench is available in your hub and in safe zones; you can craft Modded Prisms anywhere the Workbench appears.

Where to find Prisms and Shards

Prisms drop from bosses and elite enemies, or you can purchase them from the Merchant in your hub using Scrap. Each Prism has a name and description that tells you what kind of mod it creates — for example, a Prism might be labeled as a damage mod, a utility mod, or a status effect mod. Check the item description before you craft so you know what you're making.

Shards are the key to customizing your Modded Prism. Different Shards add different properties — one Shard might increase damage, another might add fire damage, and a third might reduce the mod's cooldown. You find Shards by defeating enemies, opening chests, and completing dungeons. Some Shards are rarer than others, so if you're looking for a specific effect, you may need to farm certain areas or enemy types.

The Merchant also sells Shards if you have enough Scrap. This is useful if you want a specific Shard without grinding, though Scrap is also used for other upgrades, so plan your spending.

Gathering Lumenite Crystals efficiently

Lumenite Crystals are the most common material you'll need, and you'll use them in large quantities. Every enemy you defeat has a chance to drop Lumenite Crystals — the higher the enemy's level, the more crystals it typically drops. Bosses and elite enemies are the best source if you're in a hurry, but regular enemies will give you crystals too.

You can also find Lumenite Crystals in chests, breakable objects like barrels and crates, and as ground loot in dungeons. If you're running low, spend a few minutes clearing a zone you've already beaten — enemies respawn, and you'll accumulate crystals quickly. Some players farm specific boss fights or dungeons that they can clear fast to stock up before a crafting session.

Understanding Shard effects and combinations

Each Shard adds a specific stat boost or ability to your Modded Prism. A Shard might increase damage by a percentage, add elemental damage, reduce cooldown time, or improve accuracy. When you hover over a Shard in the Workbench menu, you'll see exactly what it does and by how much. This lets you choose Shards that match your playstyle — aggressive players might pick damage-boosting Shards, while others might prefer cooldown reduction or status effects.

You can only use one Shard per Modded Prism, so choose carefully. If you craft a Modded Prism and later want a different effect, you'll need to craft a new one with a different Shard. Keep extra Shards in your inventory so you can experiment without farming new materials every time.

Upgrading Modded Prisms after crafting

Once you've crafted a Modded Prism, you can upgrade it at the Workbench using Lumenite Crystals and Scrap. Upgrades increase the mod's effectiveness — higher levels deal more damage, explore stronger status effects, or reduce cooldown further. You can upgrade a Modded Prism multiple times, and each upgrade costs more materials than the last.

Check the upgrade cost before you commit; if you're low on Lumenite Crystals, you might want to farm more before upgrading. Upgraded mods are significantly more powerful, so it's worth the investment if you plan to use that mod regularly.

Common mistakes to avoid when crafting

The most common mistake is crafting a Modded Prism without checking what Shard you're using. You might end up with a mod that doesn't fit your build or weapon type. Always read the Shard description before you confirm the craft.

Another mistake is running out of Lumenite Crystals mid-session. If you're planning to craft and upgrade multiple mods, farm crystals first. It's faster than stopping halfway through to grind. Also, don't sell Shards you might want later — Shards are easier to farm than Prisms, but if you're looking for a specific one, you might regret selling it.

Finally, remember that Modded Prisms take up mod slots on your weapons. You can only equip one mod per weapon, so choose the Modded Prism that fits your current loadout and playstyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the Shard in a Modded Prism after I craft it?

No. Once you craft a Modded Prism with a specific Shard, that Shard is locked in. If you want a different effect, you need to craft a new Modded Prism with a different Shard. You don't lose the original Shard when you craft — you use a copy of it, so you can craft multiple mods with the same Shard if you want.

How many Lumenite Crystals do I need to craft one Modded Prism?

The cost varies depending on the Prism and Shard you're using, but most Modded Prisms cost between 10 and 30 Lumenite Crystals. Check the Workbench menu before you craft — it will show you the exact cost. Upgrades cost more crystals than the initial craft.

What's the difference between a Prism and a Modded Prism?

A Prism is the base mod without any Shard effects. A Modded Prism is a Prism combined with a Shard, which adds extra stats or abilities. Modded Prisms are always stronger than base Prisms, so you should craft them whenever you have the materials.

Can I farm the same boss repeatedly to get Prisms?

Yes. Bosses respawn after you leave their area and return, and they drop Prisms and other loot each time. Some players farm specific bosses to collect Prisms or Shards they want. It's a valid way to gather materials, though it takes time.
