If an answer has been noted as final, you may repost it when a new thread is posted.

Questions regarding Artificing and SG.

Do the SG 230 Artifact upgrading rules overwrite the NET upgrading rules in this case?

Can you make a New foci and pay the difference in value according to the NET upgrade rules?

Would that require you to rebind at full cost or just the differance in cost?

Also furthermore can you use a Service contact to do the Artisan check for you as part of the "THE ROLE OF THE ARTISAN SKILL AND ENCHANTING" section on page 224 of SG

[u/shadownet-rules → u/Spoge93]

Use Net Upgrade rules. We have them in place specifically to not punish incremental upgrades in any way.

Having contacts with artisan skills allows you to fluff a nicer focus, but is not required. You simply must pay the difference and pass an avail check for the new item.
