To initiate an upgrade, player needs an
Upgrade Kit.
This kit doesn’t guarantee a successful upgrade—there’s always a
risk involved. If the upgrade fails, the item will be destroyed, lost forever.
To protect your item during the upgrade process, you can use an
Upgrade Seal.
If the seal is in your backpack during the upgrade attempt, it will safeguard your item from destruction in case of failure. However, the seal will be consumed, disappearing whether the upgrade fails or succeeds.
Deciding when and how to upgrade your items is a key strategic decision. The allure of a +10 item with its massive stat boost must be weighed against the potential loss of the item itself.
Keeping a supply of Upgrade Seals on hand is crucial for those who wish to minimize risk. However, seals are consumed with every upgrade attempt, so they should be used wisely, especially on higher-level upgrades where the stakes are higher.
