Once a piece of equipment has been upgraded to Lv5, it will be ready to be Overgraded. Overgrading to specific levels will unlock that equipment’s set skills.
You can check each piece of equipment’s set skills and unlock grades from the equipment details screen. In addition, Overgrading a weapon to Grade 2 will unlock its Special Skill.
Equipment that can be Overgraded will be marked in the upper-right with a green arrow icon.

Notes
- Currently, weapons/armor can be upgraded to a maximum of Grade 10.
- Tap the necessary materials icon to view each material’s rarity, current stock, obtainment method and necessary amount.
Various monsters and gathering points can be found in the field. Hunt and gather to collect materials, then use these materials to forge, upgrade, and overgrade your equipment.
Hunting Monsters
Slaying a large monster will reward you with basic reward materials, as well as rewards based on the body parts you broke during that hunt.
- Earned materials are random.
- Reward contents are not affected by hunt completion time.
- Items that can raise the chance of obtaining certain materials do not exist.
Take note that the types and drop rates of materials may differ depending on the monster’s ★ amount and the body part broken.
Gathering Points
Please see here for more information.
Supplement Materials with Gems
For some materials, even if you have an insufficient amount of them, you can instead use Gems to help forge/upgrade equipment.
This can help make forging/upgrading smoother.
