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)
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%, 60%, and 100% reinforcements, although there is potentially any success rate for a reinforcement on an item.
When first upgrading a set of gear, it's often smart to dump all 100% or 60% reinforcements on the item. They are cheap, you don't have to pay for protections, and you can get a nice boost straight off the bat.
Then, after getting a second set of gear, it may be better to apply 10% reinforcements to your gear, depending on your income.
Lower success rate reinforcements give higher stats.
Lower success rates also require more reinforcement items to apply. So make sure you have enough!
Protection
If you are upgrading a piece of equipment that is less than a 100% chance of success, you may want to consider paying extra for protection. This cost goes up for each tier of gear, but in the chance that your reinforcement fails, it won't cost your equipment a slot. This lets you maximize the stats on a piece of gear.
The list below covers all of the items which allow for reinforcements to be applied.
