Upgrading Equipment
Upgrading Equipment
In Elsword Weapons and Armor (Top, Bottom, Shoes and Gloves) can be upgraded. By default they start without upgrades, and as you upgrade they become +1, +2, +3 up to +11.
To upgrade equipment, you need to talk to any blacksmith NPC (indicated by the sword icon in town). You will need a certain item and some money in order to upgrade.
Guide
1) Talk to the NPC and open up his/her shop.
2) Click on the button with the + in, on the bottom left of the shop window.
3) Click on the desired item you wish to upgrade
4) This menu will open up:
5) Click on either of the two buttons at the bottom to upgrade.
Risks
When upgrading, you need to take caution that as you further upgrade your equipment, the risk of the item breaking will increase.
From +2 onwards, upgrade may fail to work (equipment will not break)
From +4 onwards, upgrade may degrade when failed (from +4 to +3 etc)
From +6 onwards, upgrade may reset or break. (If reset, item goes back to +0. If break, item will be unusable until you recover it using an item bought from the cash shop.)
Benefits
By upgrading your items, the base stats will increase by a certain %. The higher the level, the more the base stats will increase. The base stats are the main stats that are given with any equipment. This does not include the bonuses written in green.
This means any equipment that gives HP will also increase.

Special Items
Fluorite Stones
These are stones bought from the cash shop. They can be used alongside upgrades to ensure items will NOT degrade and will NOT reset. But there is a chance they still WILL break. Much like upgrade stones that vary in level ranges, Fluorite stones require a specific stone that meets the level range. To use them, you have to tick the box that was mentioned earlier in the picture.
