In Elsword, equipment can be enhanced to increase their base stats. Most equipment will start without upgrades at enhancement level +0. However, some equipment found in dungeons or boxes can be enhanced at a random enhancement level, up to +9.

Enhancing Equipment

Equipment can be enhanced by a character with the Blacksmith profession or by a blacksmith NPC. Enhancing equipment will require ED and certain items, depending on the type of enhancement being performed.


Enhancement Types

Normal Enhancement

Normal Enhancement is the default process of enhancing equipment. This type of enhancement can be used for enhancing equipment of all enhancement levels. This type of enhancement will only require a certain number of Blessed Enhancement Stones to perform.

This enhancement will yield one of the following effects:

  • +1 enhancement level
  • No change
  • -1 enhancement level
  • Enhancement level reset to +0
  • Equipment will break and becomes unusable (This occurs only at enhancement level +6 and higher)


Protected Enhancement

Protected Enhancement is the second type of enhancement. This type of enhancement can only be used on equipment at enhancement levels +4 ~ +10. This type of enhancement will require the use of Blessed Enhancement Stones and Blessed Fluorite Ores.

This enhancement will yield one of the following effects:

  • +1 enhancement level
  • No change
  • Equipment will break and becomes unusable (This occurs only at enhancement level +6 and higher)


Special Enhancement

Protected Enhancement is the last type of enhancement. This type of enhancement can only be used on equipment at enhancement levels +11 ~ +12. This type of enhancement will require the use of Blessed Enhancement Stones and Blessed Fluorite Crystals.

This enhancement will yield one of the following effects:

  • +1 enhancement level
  • No change
  • -1 enhancement level
  • Equipment will break and becomes unusable


Advanced Enhancement

Main Article: Profession System#Advanced Enhancement

Advanced Enhancement is a type of enhancement that can only be used by characters with the Blacksmith profession.

Magic Amulets

Magic Amulets are items that can automatically set a piece of equipment at an enhancement level equivalent to the level of the Amulet. These Amulets can be obtained from events, Ice Burners, and opening certain boxes.

Item Requirements

ED Cost

The cost of ED is dependent on the equipment's rarity and its reselling price at 100% durability. The cost will be the same, regardless of which type of enhancement is used on the equipment.

Rarity ED Cost per Attempt
Common 25% of the resale price
Rare 25% of the resale price
Elite 37.5% of the resale price
Unique 50% of the resale price
Legend


Materials

The amount of materials needed to perform each enhancement attempt is dependent on the type of enhancement used and the enhancement level of the equipment.

Enhancement Level Normal Enhancement Protected Enhancement Special Enhancement
Blessed Enhancement Stone Blessed Enhancement Stone Blessed Fluorite Ore Blessed Enhancement Stone Blessed Fluorite Crystal
+0 1 N/A N/A
+1 1 N/A N/A
+2 1 N/A N/A
+3 1 N/A N/A
+4 1 1 1 N/A
+5 1 1 1 N/A
+6 1 1 1 N/A
+7 2 2 2 N/A
+8 2 2 2 N/A
+9 5 5 3 N/A
+10 7 7 3 N/A
+11 9 N/A 9 1
+12 11 N/A 11 1


Risks

When upgrading, you need to take caution that as you further upgrade your equipment, the risk of the item downgrading/breaking/resetting will increase.

From +2 → +3 onwards, upgrade may be unsuccessful

From +3 → +4 onwards, upgrade may downgrade when unsuccessful (from +3 to +2 etc)

From +6 → +7 onwards, upgrade may break or reset. A broken piece of equipment can no longer be equipped or sold until it is fixed with a repair scroll (bought from other players or in the cash shop). A reset will downgrade equipment back down to +0.

At reinforcement level +10, protection stones that prevent downgrading/resetting can no longer be used (though some servers sometimes hold events that temporarily allow use of protection stones on +10 equipment).

Benefits

By upgrading your items, the base stats will increase by a certain percentage. 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.

From +5 onwards, weapons will gain a shine effect where they will have light glaze over periodically.
From +7 onwards, light will glaze over your weapon constantly.
If you achieve +11, there will be a constant spark effect around your weapon.

An example of +12 Weapon

Special Items

Fluorite Stones

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.
