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 technically being +20.

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.

When upgrading, you need to take caution that as you further upgrade your equipment, the risk of the item breaking will increase.  
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 fail to work (equipment will not break)
From +2 → +3 onwards, upgrade may be unsuccessful


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


From +6 → +7 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.)
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.


Obs.: From +10 onwards, protection stones that prevent reset and downgrade don't work anymore, except on events, in which case they work until +11. (Some servers might have had events to "safely" get it past even +11, though.)
Obs.: From +10 onwards, 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).
