Cosmic Crucible

Fd:Cosmic Crucibles are unique devices that can upgrade items far beyond their normal stats. They can be found in Precursor microdungeons, in the Fd:Precursor Ruins mission, and in the Fd:Science Outpost (through a 1-block gap at the base of the cliff on the left).

Weapons can be improved from level 1 up to level 8.

The Fd:Cosmic Crucible and the tiles below it are impervious to any attempts to remove it. If you somehow remove the Fd:Cosmic Crucible, nothing will drop (not even the anvil).

Fake Cosmic Crucible

The rigged version is inaccessible by normal means, and can be only spawned in
