In short

EnhancementRaises the main stats. Cap: common and rare — +5, legendary — +10, unique — +15.
Risk-free up to +10The success rate only drops for unique items between +10 and +15.
A failure never breaks the itemYou only lose the materials and gold spent.
Amplification and stonesPast +15 unique items can be amplified up to 5 levels; manastones add a random stat.

Enhancement

Enhancement costs Enhance Stones and gold.

GradeMaximumRisk
Common and rare+5every step guaranteed
Legendary+10every step guaranteed
Unique+15guaranteed up to +10, then +11 — 65%, +12 — 50%, +13 — 35%, +14 — 25%, +15 — 20%
Failures work in your favourOn a failure the item stays at its level. According to the client data, each failure raises the next attempt's chance by 5 percentage points, so failure streaks at high levels get shorter.

How much it costs

Upgrading is an expensive path to power
Upgrading is an expensive path to power

Example — a level 102 unique weapon such as Ludra's Blade of Extinction:

From +0 to +10About 920 thousand gold and 36,680 Enhance Stones. All ten steps are guaranteed.
From +10 to +15One attempt per level costs 4.96 million gold and 60,060 stones. With the success rates you usually need several times more.
The gainAt +10 the weapon gets +84 minimum and maximum attack, at +15 — +125.

How your item's stats change at every enhancement and amplification level is shown in the equipment calculator.

Amplification past +15

Unique items with amplification can be pushed further: 1 to 5 levels depending on the item. It costs Amplify Stones (Unique) and gold. For a level 102 weapon the success rates are 66%, 50%, 33%, 25% and 20% by level.

WeaponEach level gives about +17 ATK and +1% damage increase. At level 5 — +84 ATK and +5%.
ArmourFor example, Splendent White Dragon Lord Breastplate: at level 5 +210 DEF, +210 HP, +2.5% damage resistance and +2.5% HP.

Manastones and soulstones

Stones add a random stat
Stones add a random stat

Stones are socketed into an item and give one random stat: attack, defence, accuracy, crit, HP and more. Manastones go into weapons and armour, soulstones into accessories.

  • Stone quality — basic, intermediate or superior — decides how big the rolled value is. A basic manastone rolls the minimum value 70% of the time and the middle value 30%, and never the maximum. A superior one has a much better chance of high values.
  • Abyssal stones such as the Superior Abyssal Manastone can roll PvP stats and damage increase — they have the widest pool.

Where to start

  1. Weapon firstIt affects damage the most — max it out first.
  2. Legendary to +10Risk-free — the cheapest power gain at the start.
  3. Unique to +10Also guaranteed. Spend on +11–15 only when you are sure you will keep the item.
  4. Superior stones on final itemsDo not waste them on gear you will soon replace.
Enhancement catalystsThe client describes catalysts for every grade — helper materials that raise the success rate. If they appear in the game, save them for +13–15.
