[[Barrier Dust]] is used with a base game metal bar to create imbued bars of the same type. Every barrier enemy outside of a dungeon drops barrier dust, and the amount dropped is proportional to the enemy's health. Acquiring barrier dust is by far the best way to create imbued bars, especially when combined with grinding for a useful item dropped by a barrier enemy. What grinds are useful will be covered later. | [[Barrier Dust]] is used with a base game metal bar to create imbued bars of the same type.

This is a further upgrade to (B) gear. Although the crystallization effect it adds will be a small kill time boost in all combat scenarios, the effect is too small to justify seeking out. In addition, (C) gear provides no additional barrier damage compared to (B) gear. The main use of (C) gear is to kill enemies in the [[Crystal Depths]], but as we will see later, it is unlikely to be a time save to craft the gear for that purpose. (C) gear can be ignored until the completion grind, if the user is interested in that. | This is a further upgrade to (B) gear.

===Summon Attack Interval=== | ===Summon Attack Interval=== | ||
The base speed at which summons attack is 3 seconds. There are 3 items that may speed up that interval: [[Summoner's Blessed Ring]]; [[Summoner's Defender]]; and [[Knight's Summoning Defender]]. These items are almost always a large increase to your kill times but may be difficult to fit into your builds. There are edge cases where this is not true that will be covered in the Advanced Mechanics section, but these edge cases will not be a concern for general progression. All three items may be equipped at the same time with the use of the [[Combat Passive Slot]] for a total of 30% reduction, which results in a summon swing timer of 2.1 seconds. Obtaining these items is a very high priority for barrier combat. | The base speed at which summons attack is 3 seconds.
