Upgrade your weapons with materials to enhance it and raise its level. Each time your upgrade your weapon, its level increases by 1. Your weapon's stats also change depending on what material you used to upgrade.
When upgrading a weapon, you can include materials not necessarily needed for the upgrade to add other effects and stats to your weapon. This can impact your overall upgrade and you can end up with weapons that have higher stats than usual.
The resulting enhancements to the weapons will depend on the type of materials used. In addition to increasing stats, you can also add resistances and different attributes to your weapon so choose carefully which materials to upgrade with.
Along with adding stats, some items such as Magnifying Glass and Four Leaf Clover can add special effects when reinforcing a weapon.
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
| Magnifying Glass | Items Affected: Farm Tools The effect of magnifying glass is added to the strengthened farm tools. |
| Four Leaf Clover | Items Affected: Weapons and Armor Increases item drop rate of monsters. |
| Glitta Augite | Items Affected: Weapons Extends the range of upgraded weapons. |
Using the same material to upgrade a weapon will cause the stats added by the upgrade to be reduced to half. Upgrading a third time will only have a quarter of the total stats added so it is best to upgrade using different materials.
Object X is an item created when a recipe fails. Using this item to upgrade a weapon will cause its stats to be inverse. Using Object X to upgrade the same weapon will revert the effect.
Staffs have 3 different attacks and the effect varies by staff. This effect changes with the type of material you upgrade with so keep this in mind if you use a staff for fighting.
