[[File:Upgrade_Loading_Screen.png|right|border|425px]]
Upgrading is a way for players to increase the stats of their gear by using [[Gold]] or [[Defender Medals]]. The upgrade system has been changed in the Trials Update to allow upgrading from within the inventory.
<br>
==Mechanics==
The Upgrade menu can be opened by CTRL + LClick on the item. Only [[Shards]], [[Armor]], [[Weapons]] and [[Rings]] can be upgraded. Each item can usually be upgraded numerous times. Gear and relics can be upgraded up to 10 times and rings can be upgraded up to 50 times.
For Shards, the max upgrade level varies between each shard.
<br>
==Protean Shift Update==
As of the Protean Shift update, gear upgrades are performed within the player's inventory. There are 4 5 cores to upgrading gear: Upgrading, Evolving, Advancing, Rerolling and Tinkering.<br />

This is useful to make your mods even stronger.

The number of motes, tokens and gold does not depend on the item's rarity but its chaos level.

===Notes===
* The primary stat of your item can be rerolled as well, it costs Talismans which are the same chaos tier as your item.
* The 286th reroll is guaranteed to be 10/10, it works accross all mods. Otherwise, there isn't a guaranteed 10/10 roll when rerolling the primary stat of your item.
