Upgrade
An Upgrade occurs when a weapon or ability is enhanced using various materials to create power cores. Upgrades affect the available relic buffs in dungeons. Upgrades are permanent, while relics only last for that specific dungeon run.
How to Upgrade
Upgrades can be performed through the game menu:
- Open the Quick Menu > Upgrade
- Select Weapon or Ability tab
- Select the desired Weapon or Ability from the list
- Press the Upgrade button
Note: Upgraded weapons cannot be traded to other players!
Finding Upgrade Materials
Upgrade materials can be found from a variety of different sources, and require upgraded tools to received higher tier materials to craft higher tier power cores. As the player progresses, better materials may be found via mining (geodes), foraging (living essence), dungeon chests, or crafting.
Crafting Upgrade Materials
Most upgrades may be crafted at Dr. Fritz's lab in Arcadia. On the right side of the lab is Power Core Fusion Station which serves as a special crafting station.
More advanced upgrades must be crafted at an Apartment with Level 2 Crafting Stations (Manufacturing Table).
If the player is not in the immediate vicinity when crafting is finished, the materials will be sent to the player's mail.
