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)

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 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.

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.
