The SWORD ART ONLINE series, its franchise explosion, and its transition into the gaming industry are something to withhold. To anyone who isn't familiar with it, it's a series where you'll feel the presence of high-stakes gaming in the world of virtual gaming. In this guide, we’ll talk about how the Effect Sphere Works.

On that note, let’s talk about effect spheres and the process of making them. To begin with, you can get an effect sphere only from epic or legendary (purple or yellow) weapons or accessories. When you proceed to your weapon or an accessory’s list, there will be buttons “enhance,” “SL,” and “dismantle items” regarding items within that list.

So, you do that, and a small window will appear. From there, touch on the make effect sphere to select an item from which you wish to make an effect sphere. Let’s use the Gil Mistress, for instance. After that one is chosen, a list showing the effects available will pop up, and you will be able to select various effects.

On the right-hand side of the window, you will find some of the results that such effect spheres can produce. For instance, effect spheres may be created with Max HP up to level 1, melee attack damage up to level 1, crit damage up, Max HP to level four, or Max HP to level 5. I think only items of level 5 should be used in crafting effect spheres. Some people say level 4 is tolerable, but effect sphere crafting is rather a late-game tactic.

For this example, let’s take the "Max HP level 5’’ option. Converting it to an effect sphere will prompt a warning notifying that any equipped items will be lost in the process. This is important as the weapon that is currently equipped shall be lost during the conversion process, and your character will be weaponless. If you proceed with this, the item shall be removed from the stack, and you will receive the effect sphere.

If you navigate towards your style of effects, you will notice the one you have just created, which enhances Max Base HP by 10. To add this to a character, like the Administrator, for example, select the character, go to the “replace special effect” option, and hit the effect sphere.

Further, if you do not want to use another special effect, such as “Dart Winess damage up level 1,” you can do so before the effect sphere is applied. You will be given an option - either use one Succession Crystal or 600 Succession Stones. I would suggest that you go with the stones, as they can be farmed easily through raids and bosses.

I played the game for 100 hours and only then found out about this system, which, for me, is at the very end of the game. Do not craft effect spheres from items below level 5; instead, concentrate on using Succession Stones for your high-end weapons.

Here is a last piece of advice: if it is night and you are having difficulties locating queues, especially in the US, you could always consider changing your matchmaking region to Asia. This is possible within your settings and under the section where you find the “network” tab. I have not experienced any lag, and since most of the players use the Asian servers, that helps reduce the queue periods.
