Players can increase the value of characteristics, received from equipment. To do this there are three upgrades on the screen:

• weapon upgrade,
• additional upgrade,
• ritual ornament.

The bonuses the upgrade gives the item depend on its rank and progress at the current rank.

Upgrades are improved in the following way:

1. You can use Enhancement Stones to increase progress at the current rank. To do that you need to go to the equipment interface and click on the upgrade. You will be directed to the improvements interface, which shows the necessary amount of stones and credits that you need to pay for an upgrade step.
2. The number of steps at each rank is limited. You can increase rank by spending Particles of Mastery. Note, you can increase rank for the future if you have a large amount of Particles of Mastery. Increasing rank also provides a small increase in equipment characteristics.

Enhancement Stones

The main source of enhancement stones - dismantling equipment into parts. You can also buy and sell them on the  Market, where their cost is always changing depending on supply and demand.

There is only one type of stones, so they are suitable for any of the upgrades The stones have different ranks - ranging from 1 to 7. As the upgrade rank grows you will need higher rank stones to improve it.

Stones that are the same can be joined together into a higher rank stone, which will cost some credits. In one operation you can bring together a large portion of stones (but no more than 1000).

The table below shows the number and rank of stones, required to improve upgrades for the first 20 ranks.
