====== Reinforcements ======

Upgrading equipment is core to progression. There are different ways you can upgrade your gear.

This is the first stage of upgrading a set of gear, and can be applied to all gear.

Reinforcing requires reinforcements, a craftable item. Upgraded versions of these items are required for higher tiers of gear. Each upgraded version requires the version before it to be crafted.

  * Basic Reinforcement (T0/T1)
  * Standard Reinforcement (T2/T3)
  * Improved Reinforcement (T4/T5)
  * Quality Reinforcement (T6/T7)
  * Mechanoid Reinforcements (T8)
  * Mutated Reinforcements (T9)
  * Deepwrought Reinforcements (T10)

Each piece of equipment has a certain number of available reinforcements that can be applied to it. By upgrading your equipment, you can see the window to apply reinforcements to the piece of gear.

**Success Rates**

Different reinforcements have different success rates. Mostly these are broken into 10% and 100% reinforcements, although there is potentially any success rate for a reinforcement on an item.

You will gain the same stats regardless if you use a 10% or a 100% reinforcement. 100% reinforcements exist for those who hate RNG. However, the number of reinforcements it costs to use a 100% attempt is much higher than just using the 10%, especially with [[credits|VIP]].

The list below covers all of the items which allow for reinforcements to be applied.

**Fail Stacking**

Every failed reinforcement attempt gives your next reinforcement attempt on the same item a +2% chance to succeed. This resets on a successful attempt.

====== REINFORCEMENTS ======

  * //Typically// you can reinforce all normal gear with Fortitude or Savagery.
  * //Typically// you can reinforce Main Hand and Off Hand with Pierce.
  * The table below shows how many of each stat the reinforcements give for that tier.
