Use Dragon Tongs+ if the equipped Dragon Stone must be preserved. This item raises the removal success chance to 100%.
Removal options
| Method | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Right-click the equipped stone | On success, the stone returns to the Dragon Stone Alchemy inventory; on failure, you receive a Dragon Stone Shard. |
| Dragon Tongs | Increases the chance of successful removal but does not guarantee it. |
| Dragon Tongs+ | Guarantees successful removal. |
For ordinary removal, right-click the Dragon Stone in the equipped wheel. Use this method only if you accept the risk of receiving a shard instead of recovering the stone.
Dragon Tongs can be purchased from the Alchemist and used on the equipped stone to improve the removal chance. Because they do not raise that chance to 100%, failure remains possible.
When preserving the stone is essential, use Dragon Tongs+ on the equipped stone instead.
Do not use Tongs of Time for removal
Tongs of Time serve a different purpose. They are applied to an unused Dragon Stone to produce a time-extension elixir. The stone is consumed, and the extraction can fail.
