Upgrading Equipment

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 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 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 → +3 onwards, upgrade may fail to work (equipment will not break)

From +3 → +4 onwards, upgrade may degrade when failed (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.)

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 that the white numbers in the stats will also increase.

From +5 onwards, weapons will begin to have a shiny effect where they will have light glaze over periodically.

Upgrade (+) Base Stat Change % Stat Difference
+0 100% 0%
+1 103% 3%
+2 106% 3%
+3 109% 3%
+4 116% 7%
+5 123% 7%
+6 130% 7%
+7 145% 15%
+8 160% 15%
+9 175% 15%
+10 215% 40%
+11 255% 40%
+12 295% 40%
+13
+14
+15
+16
+17
+18
+19
+20 875% ?


a guess of the % increase
+13 ~ +15 would be 50%
+16 ~ +18 would be 70%
+19 and +20 would be 110%

found by a 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)+67*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.
