Not sure if this is a good idea to implement.
You would only be able to do this with 5* if its 2* or 3* version is the same. You wouldn't be able to craft a final flourish using a gran faust but if you have a glacius then you can use it to craft a combuster since both are crafted up from a brandish.
This also works for other weapons, helms, armors, and shields. There will be a special crafting machine for this but will require a lot more materials, the 3 5* orbs of alchemy, and a new orb that is a very rare drop from treasure chests (1 is used up per crafting), uvs can be transfered or you can choose to have a chance at a better uv lime regular crafting.
Leta say you have a fire max volcanic plate shield, from what I was told, fire max is useless on it since it comes with a large amount of fire resistance. You coud keep the uv while crafting the shield to an ironmight plate shield.
I would like your comments on if this is a good idea and how to improve it. Thankyou.
no
the point of gear in this game is to collect it for specific things
being able to just change what you have isnt a good idea
