Armor/Weapon Upgrades Info

 

As you may have noticed, all weapons and armor start out with +0 in front of them. This is because you can upgrade to make not only the stats better such as damage and armor but also upgrades the hidden bonuses such as magic resistance, movement speed, attack speed, and critical change. I have all such bonuses for all the +0 shown here on my site under the weapons and armor pages and I am working on showing all the weapons stats from +0 to +10. +10 happens to be the max you can upgrade something. Another thing to keep in mind is that while all of the "Ancient" armors and weapons are super powerful, they CANNOT be upgraded.

Upgrading most weapons seems to follow the same pattern. It usually upgrades 1 damage, 2 speed, and 3% critical chance while adding 1 damage to the bonus critical damage. The bonus damage with the critical is always the percentage divided by 3... so 3% gives 1 bonus and 30% there are 3 only exceptions.

With armors its usually 1 armor and 1 evade but armors can give many different bonuses so there's not really a main pattern like with weapons except the armor and evade usually go up by 1 per upgrade. Other bonuses include; move speed, magic resistance, hp or mp bonuses, spells (spells don't upgrade), attack speed, and hp and mp regen. One pair of gloves even gives extra critical chance.

Ok, so to upgrade a specific item I suggest that you have only that Item in your inventory. To upgrade it you will need, a SCROLL of enchant weapon or amor. Make sure that it's a SCROLL not a spellbook as the spells will only temporarily increase your damage/armor for their duration. You can buy these scrolls at the town in the bottom right from the mage equipment seller. Keep in mind that these are extremely expensive. Scrolls of enchant weapon are about 35,000 and enchant armors are about 28,000 at the standard tax rate. I prefer to kill things for them as that is not only free, you make money from all the other junk you can sell. I will eventually add another page to this guide that will give you tips on what to kill to find certain items.

 

Well, unfortunately it really isnt that easy... the scrolls, as far as I've experimented with, will have 100% chance to upgrade anything from +0 to +4 I have never failed getting any pieces to +4. Any attempts to upgrade higher there is a chance that it won't work. It does not destroy the weapon or armor but it uses up the expensive scrolls. I have no clue as to what the percentages are but getting the last 2 upgrades for my weapon took about 10 scrolls. Which leads me into the next part of upgrading.

There is a shop in Adena Castle that sells "Blessed" scrolls of enchant armor/weapon. They are like 120,000 each. They don't give 100% chance to upgrade as I had previously thought but I used one on a piece of armor once and it upgraded it from +3 to +6 so I guess they just have a random chance to boost more than one level at a time.

 

Any information that is missing would be greatly appreciated. Comments and suggestions are also always welcome.
