| - | Every single empower costs some gold, some cheap monster parts, and definitely not cheap 12800 ores. The type of ore rotates, starting from Orthoclase and going to Anorthite and so on, every 2 empower levels. Since there is a chance to fail and there is a chance to downgrade, it's better to stock up on the higher ores more. Try to match the ratios stated below when hoarding ores.

My __pessimistic__ estimate of the ore cost for getting a T6 augment from 0* to 9* is: |

| The reason for these ratios are the success rates and downgrade rates. The first 3x empowers are 100% chance and then it drops by 10% each level until 30% chance to get 10* and above. We will stop at 10*, which is 2 levels of the first 5 ores. We are guaranteed on Orthoclase, near guaranteed at Anorthite so those are only 2x ore amount. Ferrisium empowers will mostly pass and rarely downgrade. Rhenium now starts at the E6 breakpoint; it won't downgrade further from 6* after we reach there. The success chance is 50-60%, however, we have a 40% downgrade chance when attempting the 9* speed empower with Jaspil, which adds up a lot of Rhenium usage. The most used ore is Jaspil, with the low 30% chance to pass for both 9* and 10*. After reaching 9*, the 10* empower is the easiest click, but 30% chance is seriously low, so expect a lot of attempts. | The reason for these ratios are the success rates and downgrade rates.
