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.

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.

Protean Shift Update

As of the Protean Shift update, gear upgrades are performed within the player's inventory. There are 4 cores to upgrading gear: Upgrading, Evolving, Advancing, and Tinkering.

  • This process is for increasing the base stats of the item such as Hero Damage, Defense Health, etc. This process consumes Gold or Defender Medals, along with motes from the chaos tier of the current item. Additionally, it could require the respective upgrade material and ampoules from the chaos level of the item. An exhaustive list of these materials can be found in Crafting Materials. Uniquely, boots require Plain, Shiny, or Pristine leather when advancing from 9/10 to 10/10 on the item. Cost of upgrading depends on class of item (e.g. helmet, boots etc). It does not depend on the item's rarity.
Upgrade Menu Example.png
Cost from 0/10 to 10/10:
Chaos Level Ampoules Motes Corresponding Material
Chaos 1 0 10 0
Chaos 2 0 10 0
Chaos 3 0 20 0
Chaos 4 0 10 0
Chaos 5 0 20 2
Chaos 6 0 20 2
Chaos 7 0 20 2
Chaos 8 0 80 20
Chaos 9 10 100 50
Chaos 10 10 100 50

  • This process is for advancing gear to the next Chaos level. This is useful to preserve rare mods or items with high base stats. This process consume Gold or Defender Medals as well as ampoules of the next tier. Advancing Rings to the next Chaos level costs only Gold or Defender Medals.
Evolve Menu Example.png
Cost for evolving:
Chaos Level Ampoules Gold / Defender Medals
Campaign to Chaos 1 1 5,125 / 75
Chaos 1 to Chaos 2 1 5,125 / 100
Chaos 2 to Chaos 3 1 16,375 / 120
Chaos 3 to Chaos 4 1 40,000 / 140
Chaos 4 to Chaos 5 1 62,800 / 160
Chaos 5 to Chaos 6 1 94,600 / 180
Chaos 6 to Chaos 7 1 132,400 / 200
Chaos 7 to Chaos 8 1 200,000 / 400
Chaos 8 to Chaos 9 1 2,000,000 / 2,000
Chaos 9 to Chaos 10 1 2,000,000 / 2,000

  • This process is for advancing gear to the next rarity level. It consumes a number of Ampoules which are the same tier as the item and Gold or Defender Medals. The number of ampoules and gold does not depend on the item's rarity but its chaos level.
Advance Menu Example.png
Cost for advancing:
Chaos Level Ampoules Gold / Defender Medals
Campaign 0 6,705 / 25
Chaos 1 2 6,705 / 25
Chaos 2 3 15,255 / 45
Chaos 3 7 27,630 / 60
Chaos 4 7 39,090 / 70
Chaos 5 13 43,940 / 70
Chaos 6 10 59,515 / 70
Chaos 7 30 677,820 / 200
Chaos 8 30 777,820 / 200
Chaos 9 15 877,820 / 200
Chaos 10 30 1,228,948 / 200

  • This process is for transferring M.O.D.S from one item to another. Beware, transferring a mod from a lower Chaos tier item to a higher Chaos tier item will mean that you lose any growth of the mod's stat. This process consumes Defender Medals or Gems.
