* To upgrade gear, the player requires two types of materials.
  * **Material 1**: Abyssal Metal Chunk.
  * **Material 2**: \[Specific to the piece of equipment, see *Black Smith Upgrade Levels* above image]
* Each piece of equipment will need a different second material.
* **Tip**: Players can use GIN to increase the success rate of upgrades.

* Players can upgrade gear until +6, +12, and +16 levels. Beyond that, players cannot upgrade further without upgrading stars.
* To continue upgrading gear levels, players need to upgrade Gear Stars.
* Gear corresponding to any Class will use the gems specific to that Class.
* The success rate of upgrading Gear Stars is 100%.

### Fusing Gear

* Players must have at least 3 items with the same Rarity to perform fusion.

* Any 3 types of items can be entered for fusion, as long as they share the same Rarity.&#x20;

* Level of item or stats have no effect on outcome of gear being fused. You can use two level 1 gears to upgrade a level 50 rarity for same results.

* Fusion outcomes:
  * **Success**: Players receive gear in left slot with higher Rarity and will have the stat value of the higher rarity.
  * &#x20;**Failure:** Chance to lose one or both pieces of gear being fused into the left slot.
  * Success and failure cost the same amount of gold and gin

#### Fusion Percent of Success

* **White - Green        80%     (without upgrade stone)      100%    (with upgrade stone)**
* **Green - Blue           10%      (without upgrade stone)      15%       (with upgrade stone)**
* **Blue - Purple          5%        (without upgrade stone)       8%        (with upgrade stone)**
* **Purple to Orange  1%        (without upgrade stone)       2%        (with upgrade stone)**
