Upgrade bonus
Upgrading equipment has several effects:
- increased weapon attack and armor defense
- additional bonuses
- visual effects (more info here)
Increased attack & defense
Each weapon and armor has fixed basic attack or defense. As a result of upgrade you get an attack / defense bonus, which can be seen as a value added to the base:
Upgrade equation
The calculation of the bonus is a bit complicated. There are four upgrade formulas depending on the equipment level and the plus range.
The calculation of the bonus is a bit complicated. There are four upgrade formulas depending on the equipment level and the plus range.
Equipment level 1-145 | Equipment level 146-185 | |
---|---|---|
for +1 to +17 | ||
for +18 to +30 |
- b is the base value that you see in the item info popup
- B is the bonus value after upgrading (total will be B+b)
- n is the + amount
- f is a parameter that depends on which plus value range the item is in
- g, c, d, k and p are fixed constants
The values of the parameters are listed in tables below.

Rounding of the result is performed as usual, i.e. round down if the decimal part is less than 0.5. This equation does not include the additional bonus effects of various upgrade levels. Keep in mind that the formulas above are just a model - the exact upgrade equation is not known. So far they match all the recorded values within 1 point.
Additional bonuses
Beside increased attack or defense, plussed equipment has additional bonuses, which show as an orange text under your gear's base value:
Level 1 - 145 equipment
- armors, wings & shields - extra defense at +15, PvP Damage Absorption at higher plus
- weapons - extra attack at +15 depending on type of weapon
- There are a few hidden bonuses, which do not show in the stat window and thus it is hard to test if they are still in effect (grey values in the tables below).
