Upgrading Equipment

In Elsword, Weapons and Armor (Top, Bottom, Shoes and Gloves) can be upgraded. By default they start without upgrades. As you upgrade equipment, they become +1, +2, +3, "safely" up to +10, with the limit being +11.

To upgrade equipment, you need to talk to any blacksmith NPC (indicated by the sword icon in town). You will need corresponding upgrade stones and some money in order to upgrade.


Guide

1) Talk to the NPC and open 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 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 %. 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.

General Enhancement Probability


found by averaging it out

   i.e (295/175), (175/130), (130/109), (109/100) = 1.6857, 1.3461, 1.1926, 1.09 
(1.6857/1.3461), (1.3461/1.1926), (1.1926/1.09) = 1.2522, 1.1287, 1.0941
(1.2522+1.1287+1.0941)/3 = 1.1583

(295*1.1583)-295= 47 ((47*3+295)*1.1583)-(47*3+295)= 69 (((47*3+295)+69*3)*1.1583)-((47*3+295)+69*3)= 101
left with 30%, distribute the 30% into the others to even out the numbers
47 -> 50, 69 -> 70, 101 -> 110


this is pure speculation, any one is free to delete this if you choose to do so.

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.

Name Description Image
Fluorite Ore Lv.1 Protects equipment from resets or degrades that are level 1-20.
Fluorite Ore Lv.2 Protects equipment from resets or degrades that are level 21-30.
Fluorite Ore Lv.3 Protects equipment from resets or degrades that are level 31-40.

Fluorite Ore Lv.5 Protects equipment from resets or degrades that are level 51-60.

Repair Scrolls

If an equipment breaks, it cannot be used unless you repair it with an item bought from the cash shop. To use them, you right click on the scroll and then click on the broken item. Much like Fluorite Stones, they range in level also.

Name Description Image
Blessed Restoration Scroll Lv.1 Repairs broken equipment that are level 1-20.
Blessed Restoration Scroll Lv.2 Repairs broken equipment that are level 21-30.
Blessed Restoration Scroll Lv.3 Repairs broken equipment that are level 31-40.
Blessed Restoration Scroll Lv.4 Repairs broken equipment that are level 41-50.
Blessed Restoration Scroll Lv.5 Repairs broken equipment that are level 51-60.


Upgrade Scrolls

Items can be instantly upgraded to a certain level at a 100% rate by using upgrade scrolls. These can be obtained from events, opening boxes, Ice Burners and other players. To use them, simply right-click the scroll and then click on the equipment you wish to upgrade.

Name Description Image
Magic Amulet Lv.4 Upgrades any equipment to +4.
Magic Amulet Lv.5 Upgrades any equipment to +5.
Magic Amulet Lv.6 Upgrades any equipment to +6.
Magic Amulet Lv.7 Upgrades any equipment to +7.
