And to effectively counter the enemy force. Let's see how exactly a character can provide himself with the most powerful equipment.

Upgrading the character's equipment

For weapons and armor, there are several ways to enhance that can be applied simultaneously:

• upgrade scrolls;
• Efenian cube;
• engravings;
• moon charms.

The equipment upgrade window opens either by right-clicking on the scroll, or by pressing the Equipment Upgrade button in the inventory. The first tab will allow you to improve the quality of the item, the second - to insert an engraving, the third - to cast a lunar charm.

12 item quality types

• useless item
• common item
• unusual item
• rare item
• unique item
• epic item
• legendary item
• relic
• wonder age item
• storytelling item
• legend age item
• subject of the era of myths

By using scrolls any player can improve the quality of their equipment, including jewelry. You can get them only through the game - using the profession "Printing". Crafting requires a shard of a certain type of true akhium and some parchment.

The improvement window shows the chances of a possible outcome after the operation. Depending on the type of item and scroll, you can increase the quality by 1 or 2 points, break the item (Relic rank and above), lower its quality, or leave everything unchanged. A catalyst may help a little to a successful ending.

You can also improve your equipment with efen cube. You can buy it from a merchant of useful little things for 1 gold coin or in the Soyuz Daru store.

With this item, you can improve the main characteristics of equipment (for weapons, this is attack power, spell power, or healing efficiency, for armor, resistance and defense) up to 9%. The value is chosen randomly. When upgraded with scrolls, the effect remains, you can cancel it with the Ephen Prism, which is sold in the game store, and then try your luck with the cube again.

No less interesting and engraving, which give a bonus to certain characteristics of the character, such as tactical training, blocking, attack power, and many others. The higher the quality of the equipment, the more slots for engraving are available. For example, a weapon of uncommon rank has 1 slot, a relic has 6 slots. Please note that insertion may fail.

Lunar Enchantment, in turn, are divided into two types. The first allows you to increase the main characteristics: strength, agility, endurance, fortitude, intelligence.

With the help of the second type of runes, you can add a special property to the equipment, for example, increase the chance of a critical hit or increase the character’s movement speed. Different runes of this type are suitable only for a certain type of armor, so you will have to choose the right one very carefully. In addition, it is impossible to insert both types of stones at the same time into one thing.

A skilled decorator can create engravings, and an experienced alchemist can create moonstones. The second option to obtain such items is to purchase for honor points from the quartermaster.

Upgrading the ship's equipment

Refitting ships is one of the most important elements of the game for those who love naval battles. The installed elements affect not only the appearance of the vessel, but also its parameters: health, stability, weight, ramming ability, side protection, movement speed, turning speed and buoyancy.

Equipment can either improve or degrade certain characteristics: for example, when using a sail that allows you to move faster, you will have to sacrifice maneuverability, and stronger masts will weigh more. All equipment varies in quality: from ordinary to the era of myths. Need to improve Shipbuilder's Scrolls, obtained by destroying enemy ships, monsters in the Storm over the Sea event, and some bosses.

To “drag” in the game, just crafting a “clothing” is not enough, you still need to carry out some manipulations with its characteristics and squeeze out additional bonuses, in other words, make an upgrade. How to do this will be discussed in this guide.
You can put on 12 things on your character: primary and secondary weapons, a helmet, a breastplate, pants, gloves, boots, a necklace, two rings and earrings, and all this needs to be improved and upgraded.

Some types of equipment are only available for a certain class. For example, the mage and druid only wear cloth armor (clothing), while the Archer and Reaper prefer leather armor, and the Guardian and Knight prefer metal.

Quality levels

All items of equipment have several quality levels: name color, rating and rank. To bring out more detailed description object, you need to hover over its icon and press the "Shift" key.

Equipment color allows you to quickly and relatively accurately determine the quality of the subject. From lowest to highest: gray (or white), green, blue, purple and gold. In addition, in the near future there will be another color - orange.

• White equipment is garbage, which should not be emphasized.
• Greens items can be obtained for killing monsters in open world, as well as during the passage of dungeons.
• Blue items can be obtained as a reward for completing some quests.
• Things purple colors, like blue, are obtained by killing monsters in the open world or dungeons, but for this you need to destroy the bosses. Also, these items can be bought for city reputation, honor points, as well as reputation points in the Order of the Guardians.
• The most valuable (at the moment) is golden equipment. And it is on it that you should spend most of the money, improving it in every possible way. Gold-colored items can be purchased for honor points if your character has reached the required PvP rank, or for reputation points in the Order of the Guardians.
• Outfit orange level cannot be bought, it can only be crafted by yourself.

Rank- a fixed value that affects the level of maximum pumping (the higher the rank, the higher the possible level of sharpening), and also limits the use of inlay stones.

Equipment rating- dynamically changeable, from the level of sharpening, inserted inlay stones and awakenings, characteristic. Therefore, it is incorrect to compare two items of equipment based on equipment rating alone.

Equipment parameters

In order to assess the quality of a particular game or part, you must carefully study the parameters of the equipment. They, as well as objects, have color designations:

• White Options- these are basic ones, such as weapon damage or armor protection.
• Green options may be very different and not always necessary, but they can be changed.
• Blue Options, like white ones, cannot be changed and, to some extent, they can also be called basic and defining things.
• purple setting, is initially unavailable and will be grayed out. This option is activated when accumulating equipment experience and awakening. It is worth noting that instead of such a parameter, there may be some effect on the equipment. For example, when dealing damage, there is a 10% chance to get a buff to increase attack power and the like.

The equipment has nests for inlay stones they are both open and closed. The latter can be unlocked.

At the top right is displayed sharpening level, and under the quality of improvement - additional gain obtained at certain sharpening levels. Also, things can be set, i.e. give additional bonuses if you equip items from the same set.

After equipping, the equipment becomes personal, as a result of which you will not be able to sell or exchange the item. To return the possibility of exchange, you can use the "Amulet of Release", which can be bought from merchants for 20 thousand coins.

Equipment elements, as well as wings, tend to lose their strength and break. You can repair it at any regular merchant.

Sharpening (Strengthening) equipment

All items, except for amulets and bracteate, can be strengthened with grindstones. They can be obtained, for example, from chests as a reward for PVP activity, knocked out during Monster Hunts, exchanged for Phantom Pearls, or bought for mentoring reputation or bronze feathers.

In addition to stones, you will also need the help of the Equipment Upgrade NPC (blacksmith), who has a special hammer and anvil icon above his head.

In total, there are 16 levels of sharpening - the higher the level of the item being improved, the more of these levels are available for it. At each level, the characteristics of items increase by several percent (3-5%). Each level of sharpening has its own chance of success, which depends on the amount of money invested. By adding grindstones, it can be brought up to 100%.

Regardless of how many resources were spent, the result of sharpening will still be random. By improving a thing by +1, the increase in characteristics can be different. At the same time, sharpening levels are painted in different colors (green - maximum increase, yellow - medium, red - small). In order to be guaranteed to get the maximum increase, you need to sharpen equipment with a 300+% probability.

At certain enchant levels (first at +5, then at +9 and +12), in addition to the increase to the base parameter of the item, an additional increase in the random parameter will appear. Gain can be of different quality, from the worst (green) to the best (gold). Additional gain can also be changed until the player needs a good quality parameter.

Sharpening transfer

If you want to change the equipment of your character, but you feel sorry for losing the level of improvement received for the old equipment, then you can transfer the sharpening to a new set of equipment. To complete this task, you will need to find an NPC gunsmith, as well as have some money in your wallet. The process of transferring improvements can be done for free, but in this case one level of improvements will be lost.

Gear Experience and Awakening

Under the name of the thing, you can find a strip of experience and 4 levels of awakening. Experience is pumped along with the character and, when the scale is filled, the purple parameter is activated. At the same time, it becomes possible to awaken this thing, which increases absolutely all equipment parameters.

You can call the wake-up window in the action menu (by default, the "N" key).

Awakening requires True Brass, which can be found during the PvE event "Monster Hunt" or when completing dungeons, and can also be bought with mentoring reputation, bronze guardeons or bronze feathers.

During the awakening process, you may notice that the fourth level of awakening is blocked (displayed as a padlock). To open it, you need the item "Kai Ling Zhu" and the NPC, to which the autopath will lead us if you right-click on the item. After unlocking, we repeat the same operations as for the first three.

Changing equipment parameters (reforging)

Reforging will require the materials that were required to synthesize this equipment, as well as the NPC "Reforging". Some of the materials can be replaced with Reforging Basics scrolls, which can be obtained by converting golden equipment. You can break not only gold equipment, but also the rest. The result may be a small amount of taels and "True Copper". However, remember that after the transformation, the item is destroyed.

You can change the additional gain from the same NPC whose equipment is sharpened.

To do this, we will need quartz whetstones and luck, because, as already mentioned in the chapter “Sharpening equipment”, additional enhancements can be of different quality, from the worst (green) to the best (gold).

Synthesis of weapons, armor and decorations

Synthesis creates one of the best gear at the current level.
For the first time, you can try the synthesis during the passage of the orange quest in the Lake Village. To do this, the player will have all the necessary resources, and the result will be a golden weapon.

In the future, synthesis will have to be dealt with independently. It will be possible to create the main and additional weapons from the same NPC, from whom the synthesis was learned. Armor and jewelry are synthesized from the NPC, who is nearby.

Synthesis requires a variety of resources. For example, to synthesize level 46-49 gold equipment in large quantities, you will need true copper and resources that can be bought for bronze guardeons and Powder of Dawn.

"Powder of Dawn" is exchanged for "Scroll of Dawn", which is found in "Shard of Dawn", which in turn can be obtained in dungeons.

Resources can be saved by using equipment previously obtained by synthesis of a lower level as an ingredient. To do this, select the desired option to the right of the synthesis window.

At the same time, existing enhancements, such as the level of sharpening, unlocked nests for stones, awakenings, can be transferred to a new item, but this will require additional items (“Horns of a hornhorn”, “Kai Ling Zhu”).

Inlay

The inlay menu can only be called up through the action menu. For convenience, move the icon to the Quick Access Toolbar.
In the first deposit, stones are inserted, in the second tab they can be removed from the equipment. In the right field there are sockets for PVE stones, in the left field there are sockets for PVP stones.

You can insert and remove stones at any time without any additional items, the stones do not break. The higher the level of the stone, the higher the minimum rank of the equipment into which they are inserted.

Nest drilling

For some equipment, some of the sockets will be closed for inlay. Bonehorn Horns, which can be bought for mentoring reputation or for bronze feathers, or exchanged for a Phantom Pearl, will help to correct the situation. The player will not be able to unlock the nest on his own, this will require the help of NPCs.

The higher the rank of the item, the more horns will be used to drill one nest.

- Another opportunity to strengthen your character, starting from level 39, when the player will receive his first disk for four runes according to the orange quest. For the most impatient (well, or in case of loss), the same bracteat can be bought in Sulan from a grocer.

The bracteate has an outer rune ring. round shape(circle of heaven), an inner hexagonal rune ring (circle of earth) and a central slot for a class rune. The better the bracteate, the more rune slots it has.

Runes give an increase to various parameters, but in addition they add elemental points (both to one of eight, and to several at the same time).

In the right field from the bracteate, the bonuses received from the combination of elements are listed (there are no bonuses in the screenshot) and by clicking the "Details" button, you can see all possible combinations of elements and characteristics that can be enhanced.

The topmost line shows the element points received from all the runes inserted into the bracteat. Listed below are the boosts, required combinations of elemental points to activate them, and the increase in characteristics after activation.

Each enhancement has two levels. For example, the Hurricane power-up shows that its second level is two and a half times more powerful than the first and requires almost twice as many elemental points.

Insert runes wisely, using direct effects from the runes themselves, and activating additional bonuses from the combination of elements.
You can insert and remove runes from the bracteate for free and at any time.

Synthesis of inlay stones and bracteate runes

From inlay stones and runes of a lower order, you can make better stones and runes, for which synthesis is used. You can open the synthesis menu through the inventory.

In the first tab, bracteate runes are synthesized, in the second - inlay stones.

To synthesize runes, you need to put 3 runestones of the same level and a flame on the board. For different types runes will need different flames.
If you use different runes for synthesis, then the output will be a random rune of a higher level. If you apply the same runes, then according to the results of the synthesis, the player will receive the same higher level.

To synthesize inlay stones, you need to put 4 identical stones on the board.

Hi all. The Gamebizclub team is on the air. The topic of our today's article is equipment in Black Desert. Sharpening, inlay, restoration of strength - sooner or later every player has to face all this.

The equipment upgrade system in the game is not easy. It has its secrets and its pitfalls. And successful sharpening to the maximum of armor or weapons is a task no less difficult than.

From this article you will learn:

Character Equipment

The equipment window in the game contains slots for armor (this includes armor, gloves, boots, helmet, main weapon and offhand) and jewelry (two for rings, two for earrings, and one slot for a necklace and a belt). There are also additional cells under the lantern, various items and jewelry from the shop and a working tool.

The game offers many activities besides wars and hunting mobs, and each requires the appropriate equipment. For example, you need a fishing rod to catch fish. But we will talk about this in a separate guide dedicated to fishing.

Armor

AT Black Dessert a character, regardless of class, can be equipped with any armor. However, it will look different on representatives of different gaming “classes”.

Armor does not have a level, but all of its elements have basic protection. This indicator is displayed in total in the center of the equipment window. Whichever way you drive, you have the option to choose between cloth, leather, and plate armor. However, its weight must be taken into account. For example, a plate armor has an inflated base def value, but it also weighs a lot.

In addition to starting protection indicators, armor is endowed with special effects. They can apply both to one thing and to a set. In the second case, to activate it is necessary to assemble a complete set or part of it.

There are many ways to get armor: buying from merchants, completing quests, dropping from mobs, trading for influence points. Also in the game there are all the possibilities for crafting armor. Weapons, armor, as well as various tools for sharpening and collecting are created in the forge.

Weapon

Unlike armor, weapons are class-bound. So, it is necessary to arm with a bow and a dagger, - a sword and a shield, - a charm and a blade, etc. This type of equipment has basic damage indicators, to which additional effects are also added.

In addition, there are separate types of weapons needed to complete tasks. For example, Bastio's weapon is necessary to complete the quest for sharpening, and it is impossible to get rid of it before completing the entire quest line.

Bijouterie

Jewelry, like armor, has no class binding. Its entire range in the game can be divided into three types:

• with basic damage indicators;
• with baseline defa;
• with combined defense and damage.

Jewelry is only strengthened in the process of sharpening. Moreover, it is sharpened differently than the rest of the equipment: only similar jewelry is used for this. Useful decorations can be knocked out in PvE, obtained by completing quests, or exchanged for Influence Points. Also in the game there is an opportunity to establish their production, but here it should be borne in mind that craft jewelry will not be sharpened.

Strength indicators and repair of gear

Each item of equipment, except for outfits from the premium store and items rented, has its own durability. If this indicator drops to zero, the item will no longer provide bonuses, and it cannot be equipped again. Strength is divided into two types:

1. Unrecoverable. In this case, it is gradually consumed, and upon reaching the zero mark, the item must be replaced. Equipment with a non-recoverable safety margin can include, for example, a collection tool.
2. Recoverable strength. It has armor and weapons. As a rule, the maximum indicator is 100 units. You can repair a thing on which the entire resource has been used up at a blacksmith or with your own anvil, if it is available.

The durability of weapons and armor is reduced for several reasons. In pvp and pve, your character takes damage and hits enemies. As a result, equipment wears out. In addition, items lose the entire margin of the maximum possible durability after unsuccessful sharpening. And in order to restore equipment in such a situation, you will need an identical thing.

Sharpening equipment

Strengthening armor and weapons by sharpening them with Black Stones is one of the main ways to increase defense and damage. Armor can be sharpened safely up to +5, and weapons up to +7. Further actions give a random result, and in case of an unfortunate combination of circumstances, you spend not only sharpening, but also the durability of the item. We will talk about how to improve armor and weapons with the maximum chance of success a little later. In the meantime, our main question is where to farm enchants?

There are several options here. The longest and most unprofitable is their production in the processing shop. By collecting all possible resources (wood, stone and others), you can get ordinary or sharpened pieces of hard black crystal. The former are suitable for turning armor, the latter for weapons. To get a full sharpening, you need to crush two identical pieces. But using these resources in this way is unprofitable. After all, they may be needed to create a Black stone reinforced (armor) and a Black stone enchantment (weapon).

The maximum sharpening of equipment is +15. However, for crafted items, this threshold increases to +20. To pierce weapons and armor above +15, just the above items are required. You can get them by heating two standard sharpenings and one piece of a crystal of the appropriate shape.

One of the most common ways to get enchants is to drop from mobs and bosses. Buying them at the auction is also not forbidden, but the price is unlikely to please you.

It will also be useful to purchase the Seal of Travelers for influence points, with the help of which your supply of enchants will be replenished daily. It can be exchanged with certain NPCs: the headman of Velia, the head of the city in Heidel and the warehouseman in Calpheon.

The seal is in inventory, and you can click on it once a day to get a task. After completing it, you contact the NPC that sold you the seal and receive the corresponding reward. The seal can be handed over to its owner and get influence points back. It can be said that you rent it for the required time.

Sharpenings can also be removed from equipment that you no longer need. To do this, you need to contact a gunsmith or blacksmith. When retrieved, the selected armor or weapon will be destroyed. If the item has been sharpened to a safe limit (+5 for armor and +7 for weapons), then as a result you will receive 5 or 7 Black Stones, respectively. With unsafe sharpening, it acts randomly. You can never determine how many Black Stones you will receive in the end.

The higher the level of sharpening, the more likely it is to damage the equipment when improving. For a successful action, you need to score a certain number of failures (fails).

When you call on the Black Spirit to enchant an item, the HUD displays the chance of a safe enhancement. In order to maintain the durability of expensive equipment, it would be best to fill the fails on cheaper armor or weapons. This is the most effective way to successfully sharpen, but it will cost a lot of Black Stones.

A cheaper option is to fill the fails on cheap jewelry. Since there is no safe point for it, the average cost of a failed upgrade will be about four times lower than for an armor and weapon point.

If you decide to start crafting equipment, you should keep one more feature in mind. The blue and gold items that your workers can create are much more difficult to sharpen than the green ones. But when you recraft a green weapon or armor to blue or gold, the enchant will not go off. Thus, it is much more profitable to raise the workpiece to the required level, and only then redo it.

In general, we can say that crafting and improving equipment in Black Desert is a very exciting and multifaceted process. Someone will want to plunge into it headlong and study all the nuances, while others will find it easier to buy ready-made armor or weapons at the auction. And all that remains for us is to wish you success in battles and the favor of the random house. Subscribe to blog updates and follow the news about your favorite games. See you soon. Bye Bye.

The legendary series of books by A. Sapkowski "The Witcher" about the adventures of a monster hunter has long acquired an equally legendary line of games. In 2015, the last part of the series, Witcher 3, was released: Wild Hunt. She not only ended the story of the adventures of the White Wolf, but also became one of the most iconic games of recent years.

Even today, it is actively played due to the huge amount of content, non-linearities and a fascinating story. If you have not touched this masterpiece, then it's time to buy. If you've been playing for a while, then you're probably wondering the most interesting question: how to improve equipment? Let's figure it out.

What equipment can be upgraded in The Witcher 3?

The art of hunting ghouls, vampires, werewolves and other monsters requires you to constantly improve your equipment. In the game, in addition to the usual knightly armor and various things, there is witchcraft equipment - unique armor and weapons designed specifically for hunters. There are 6 equipment schools in total:

• Snake;
• Griffin;
• Manticore;
• Bear;
• Wolf.

They differ appearance, characteristics, bonuses and so on. But the process itself, how to improve equipment in The Witcher 3, is identical for everyone: finding a recipe, collecting ingredients, contacting a blacksmith (swordsman or armorer). Almost all types of equipment have several levels, the maximum of which is grandmaster.

Gear Upgrades in The Witcher 3

We got it right in the schools. You know that there are the following types of equipment: boots, armor, gloves, pants, two swords. Now we need to figure out how to improve witcher equipment in The Witcher 3. The procedure is always the same:

• find a recipe (most often found in some abandoned castles or other places that you can learn about from merchants);
• collect the ingredients;
• place an order with the blacksmith.

At the same time, remember that in order to upgrade a weapon or armor to the next level, you must have a copy of the equipment of the previous level. In addition, do not forget about Geralt himself. Once you make new equipment, you will only be able to wear it if you match the level. And if not enough, how to raise the level? Complete side missions.
