Requirements:
The main requirement of standard upgrading is the Sunstone

Its a Risky Business!
Upgrading has a level of risk involved. The higher the level of +, the higher the risk of failure of upgrade, and the higher the probability of losing the item due to breakage.
For the first three levels of upgrade (+0 ~> +1, +1 ~> +2, +2 ~> +3), there is an extremely small risk of losing the item due to breakage. Therefore there is little point using an SProtect scroll. It's up to you.
|
After the first three levels, the scary possibility of losing the item tends to make people use an Sprotect scroll with their upgrade. Sprotects prevent item breakage whilst upgrading. |
 |
| |
|
Also, the Smelting scroll is useful as it reduces failure rate by 10% when upgrading.
Warning though, this is only useful when upgrading your item at any level Up to +7
It wont work when trying for +8 +9 or +10, and its a waste of scroll. |
 |
The Sprotect, is used just prior to the upgrade, and it's effect is shown up next to your Buffs.
To Perform an Upgrade:
Make sure your item is in your Bag. You cannot upgrade items which you are wearing. Also, make sure you have the necessary Required items
(Sunstone, and possibly scroll). Please note, you cannot upgrade cashshop
items.
-
(Optionally) If you wish to use Sprotect or Smelting Scroll, double-click the scroll in your bag. Personally, I wait for the Scroll-Graphical-Lightshow to finish and look in the Buffs Bar for the Scroll "Buff"-type Icon to appear.
If you are using both Sprot, and Smelt, use them both before attempting upgrade.
-
Double-click the Sunstone you wish to use. Another Graphical-Lightshow appears above your characters' head, resembling clouds and hammers.
-
Single-Left-Click the Item in your Bag you wish to Upgrade. An animated Cloud will then appear on your item for a short while, then your upgrade will either Succeed or Fail.
|
|
If you are lucky, the word Success will show briefly above your head, and your item is upgraded! Whoooooohoooooooooooooooo. If you were unlucky, the word Failure will show, and its time to get the Hanky out and
wipe your eyes :*( |
