This is a fairly big limitation, sadly, since you can only have a limited number of embellished items equipped at once. Just keep this in mind when adding embellishments to your gear.
Anyway, you can remove any embellishments you added by recrafting the equipment with Griftah’s All-Purpose Embelisshing Powder.
You can get this crafting reagent by buying it for 50 gold from Griftah himself in the Obsidian Citadel. Ironically, his powder is actually useful despite it being just his attempt at scamming players.
Anyway, remember that this won’t work on equipment that had pre-determined embellishments. It will only work on the ones you added yourself by crafting.
Also, you won’t salvage whatever crafting reagents were consumed when you first added the embellishment. Make sure to keep this in mind!
In the crafting menu, just pick the item with the embellishment you want to remove and replace it with Griftah’s powder.
Confirm the craft and you’re all done! We hope this helps you stay within the stringent limits on wearing embellished equipment.
