Tips and Tricks
General tips:
- If you want to avoid that you accidentally upgrade a wrong part, it is advisable to remove all other parts before upgrading.
- If you don't want to break your piece, use Runes of Protection or safe upgrade methods (see below).
- You can always stop upgrading earlier and add extra bonus with Platinum Refining Stones.
Safe upgrade to +16
Any level equipment | With 'old' upgrading stones |
---|---|
• Smelting Stones or Heaven Stones till +3 • Lucky Smelting Stones from +3 to +10 • Chaos Smelting Stones from +10 to +15 • Extreme Stone to +16 * |
• Purified Rune Ore or Devil Rune Ore to +4 • Devil Rune Ore at +4 • Lucky Runes from +5 to +10 • Chaos Runes from +10 to +15 • Finest Rune to +16 * |
* Use Extreme Stone or Finest Rune only if you plan to stop upgrading at +16. Use Platinum Refining Stone on top of it to temporary add +1 to +5 extra plus. |
Upgrade events
Occasionally, Gamigo will hold 'upgrade events' on LC. These vary between 150% to 250% increase in upgrade chance depending on the event. They are usually random and will be announced in game via a shout from GMs and on forum.
Upgrade events affect:
- Smelting Stones
- Heaven Stones
- Purified and Devil Rune Ores
- Master Stones
They can be a cheaper way to upgrade equipment than to purchase Lucky/Chaos Smelts or Runes. Whilst your chances of upgrading an item are greatly increased, upgrade events do not eliminate the chances of failure or even item ruins, so be cautious!
When the upgrade event is running, you will get a pop up window after opening your inventory (picture on the right), showing the current upgrade chance ('Enchant increase probability'):
Warning:
Sometimes the event is glitched and it doesn't start properly even though it was announced in game - do not upgrade your gear if you don't see a pop up in your inventory.

Upgrading with hs to +30 guide
The tables below give clues on what grade Heaven Stones you could use to reach +30. Keep in mind this is only a suggestion as it all depends on your preferences and available resources.
- you can upgrade to +15 using other upgrade stones and runes (check the table above)
- unless you have big piles of HS, use Golden Runes of Protection - Normal and Silver ones degrade item too far and the chance of +2 or +3 upgrade from Platinum ROP is very small
