Upgrading weapons and armor
Normal weapons, shields and armor use Sunstone to raise their upgrade level, up to +10. Ultimate weapons and accessories have separate materials and protection.
Before an attempt
Check the selected item, its current +N level and the protection you are using. Each normal attempt consumes a Sunstone, whether it succeeds or fails. The ordinary normal-upgrade path does not charge Penya.
From an item already at +3 onward, an unprotected failure destroys the item. A failed attempt to reach +3 from +2 does not destroy it.
Normal upgrade chances
These are the configured chances before success-boosting scrolls.
| Target level | Chance |
|---|---|
| +1 | 100% |
| +2 | 100% |
| +3 | 70% |
| +4 | 54% |
| +5 | 45% |
| +6 | 36% |
| +7 | 27% |
| +8 | 18% |
| +9 | 9% |
| +10 | 4.5% |
Protection and boosts
Scroll of SProtect prevents destruction for a normal upgrade attempt. The safe-upgrade path consumes its protection scroll as a material for the attempt.
A Scroll of Smelting adds 10 percentage points while the item's current upgrade is below +7. Scroll of Smelting (High) guarantees the attempt in that range. These success boosts do not replace destruction protection when an attempt can fail.
Protection is consumed per attempt; check it again before continuing.
Improve armor together
The shared armor upgrade bonus uses the lowest +N across helmet, suit, gauntlets and boots. Improving the lowest piece can help the whole set. Set bonus table.
