Overview:
Players can enhance their equipment by upgrading them to higher rarities, provided they have sufficient materials and meet the necessary Blacksmith or Armorer level requirements. The success rate for each upgrade attempt varies by the rarity of the item and the player’s Blacksmith level, incentivizing skill progression and material gathering for high-quality items.
Upgrade Success Rates by Rarity
Item Rarity
Success Rate Formula
Common
90% + Blacksmith Level
Uncommon
80% + Blacksmith Level
Rare
70% + Blacksmith Level
Epic
60% + Blacksmith Level
Legendary
50% + Blacksmith Level
Each level of the Blacksmith or Armorer profession adds a fixed percentage to the success rate of the upgrade. This system allows for relatively high chances of success for common and uncommon upgrades, while rare and legendary upgrades require more skill and have a higher risk of failure.
Upgrade Requirements (Example: Wooden Axe)
The upgrade path applies to all items crafted by Blacksmiths or Armorers. Here’s an example with a Wooden Axe:
Target Rarity
Required Items
Uncommon Wooden Axe
4 Common Wooden Axes + 10 wood stack
Rare Wooden Axe
4 Uncommon Wooden Axes + 40 wood stack
Epic Wooden Axe
4 Rare Wooden Axes + 160 wood stack
Legendary Wooden Axe
4 Epic Wooden Axes + 640 wood stack
For each upgrade, players will need four items of the previous rarity along with a specified amount of copper. This pattern applies to all items created by Blacksmiths and Armorers, whether weapons, armor, or tools, making crafting progression uniform across different item types.
