Upgrade guide
Items are upgraded at blacksmiths with Yang and materials. Most items go up to +9; dragon and serpent items go up to +15. Without a protective scroll a failed upgrade destroys the item.
Chances
For example, a +0 sword: +1 100%, +2 to +4 90%, +5 80%, +6 60%, +7 50%, +8 40%, +9 30%. Costs start at 600 Yang and reach 75,000 Yang plus monster materials at the higher steps.
Blacksmiths
- Blacksmith: weapons, armour and shields.
- Armour master: body armour and helmets.
- Jeweller: belts, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, rings and shoes.
