Enhancing

Enhancing is the process of amplifying the properties of Weapons and Armors. Players can enhance their gear by visiting The Enhancer in Stonewake’s Cross village.

Enhancer Location in Stonewake’s Cross village

To Enhance a Weapon or a piece of Armor, players will need to talk to the Enhancer NPC located in the Stonewake’s Cross village.

Interacting with the Enhancer will open up the “Enhance Equipment” screen, from which you can then select a piece of Equipment, and enhance it in exchange for $ and Essences.

Essences

[Tiny Essence]

[Small Essence]

[Medium Essence]

[Large Essence]

[Greater Essence]

[Superior Essence]

[Epic Essence]

[Legendary Essence] (New!) (Dropped from the Golem Boss)

Note: Essences can be obtained by defeating enemies. Tougher enemies have a better chance of dropping higher tier essences needed for enhancing your equipment.

How To Enhance


Enhance Equipment Screen

The process of enhancing a weapon is quite simple. Players will only need to click on the Enhance button located at the bottom.

Each instance of Enhancing will further increase the cost, both in $ and Essences, of the next one.

Enhancing a Great Sword

Note: If you wish to add Runes to your equipment, you will need to enhance it to at least a +3. Doing so will unlock one Rune Slot, and allow for the slotting of Runes.

Massimo is currently improving and is at level 7, as no move yet grants legendary essences.
