Solidified dread; it hardens armor by sheer intimidation through the Dreadplate trait.
Solidified terror woven into unbreakable plate.
How the waterline works. The game counts Dreadstone's share of the total crucible: under 10% the trait is INACTIVE; 10–30% it scales linearly (SCALING); 30–35% is OPTIMAL (full 22%); past 35% it is OVERCAP — the trait stays maxed but the extra ores are wasted multiplier.
Exact top-up formula. Adding Δ ores also grows the total N, so the real formula is Δ₁₀ = ceil((N − 10n) / 9) for the 10% line and Δ₃₀ = ceil((3N − 10n) / 7) for the 30% sweet spot — never the naive "fill to 30%".
Worked example. Say your 50-ore crucible already holds 8 Dreadstone (16%, SCALING at 16.4%). To max out you need +10 more — landing at 18/60 = exactly 30%. And a tiny 30-ore forge holding 2 Dreadstone needs +2 to wake the trait (4/32 = 12.5%).

Dreadstone carries a 21.2x crucible multiplier — S+ tier, mythic rarity — sourced from Tower of Hell. A crucible loaded entirely with Dreadstone forges at exactly 21.2x.
Dreadplate caps at 30% of the crucible load: ceil(0.3 × N) ores — 15 Dreadstone in a 50-ore forge. At 10% it activates at 14%, reaching the full 22% at 30%.
Tower of Hell Wave 10 (T10) (Tower of Hell) at 1/340.
Dreadstone is top-tier forging material: 21.2x multiplier puts it among the strongest ores in the game, and the Dreadplate trait makes it a cornerstone of endgame recipes.
