Fractured Fossil

Fractured Fossil is a fossil type which allows players to duplicate items, usually rarity (Note that fossil cannot be used on unique rarity). Using this fossil on items is typically called "fracturing" an item. This item is completely unrelated to Fractured mods.

It works in a somewhat similar fashion as the Fenumal Plagued Arachnid beast, referred to as "beast splitting".

Mechanics
A resonator with the Fractured Fossil will reroll the mods on the original item, and create a mirrored copy of the original. The fossil should not be used in place of a to duplicate mirror-tier items, as the original will be randomized.

Uses
Using a fractured fossil on an item adds the "Split" tag to both items (similar to "Mirrored" tag), which prevents the items from being fractured again. Split items cannot be split again, and cannot have Imprints made of them or applied to them. However the item can still be mirrored using a.

Since version 3.14.0, the fossil cannot be used on Enchanted item, or item with Fractured mod, or item with Synthesis implicit or Influenced item. This limit the usage of the fossil.

Vendor recipe
Five Fractured Fossils can be used to duplicate basetypes. By selling five mirrored copies created by the fossil, to a vendor to receive a non-mirrored, unidentified item. Note that 5 to 1 recipe will yield a non-influenced copy, while the will override vendor recipe. Note that this usage may be obsoleted, as creating one craftable copy need to use 5 Fractured Fossils and add Split modifiers to 5 items and potentially lowering the values of the items.

Can be acquired in one of two ways in the Azurite Mine:
 * Is sometimes sold by Niko the Mad for 1,000,000 Azurite
 * As a drop from a room that "Contains Fossils":
 * Smuggler's Stash (Any Biome)
 * Humid Fissure (Sulphur Vents)

There are additional ways to acquire fossil. Read Fossil article for details.

Version history

 * Fractured Fossils now apply a Split modifier to both items, preventing further duplication. As a result, Fractured Fossils can no longer be applied to items that cannot be Split, such as Synthesised, Enchanted, Fractured or Influenced items.


 * Using a Fractured Fossil to mirror an item with the "" implicit modifier (see ) now generates a new vendor sell price on the Mirrored copy.


 * Introduced to the game.
