Item Upgrade Item Upgrade
- The item upgrade system lets players directly upgrade items to the next grade.
- The process requires the Awaken Stone, which is categorized into weapon/armor/shield/accessory.
- Any 11th grade item at +7 reinforcement can be upgraded using the Awaken Stone. Since 11 is the highest degree at 110 cap, this is the official gateway to the higher grades.
- Upon an unsuccessful attempt only the Awaken Stone is destroyed — the item is not.
- Open the Alchemy window and click the 'Upgrade' tab on the left (via [A] or [Y]).
- Place the item to be upgraded and the Awaken Stone appropriate to it. Awaken Stones are obtained through hunting.
- Click 'Upgrade' to begin the process. Upon success the item's grade gains +1.
Official restrictions and details
- Only 11th grade Seal of Comet items with a reinforcement level of +7 or higher can be upgraded.
- Upgrading is not available while an 'Option Level Enhancement Scroll' is in effect.
- Success or failure is determined at a rate. When a special Awaken Stone is used, the upgrade has a 100% rate of success.
- Only socket stones are carried over to the upgraded item; the physical and magic properties are not.
