Gear & crafting
You wear one weapon (your class weapon) and three armor pieces: helmet, chestplate, boots. Armor gives defense.
Rarity is material
The five rarities are the five materials. The color follows the classic RPG code.
| Rarity | Material | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Common | Iron | Grey |
| Uncommon | Obsidian | Green |
| Rare | Jade | Blue |
| Epic | Quartz | Purple |
| Legendary | Diamond | Gold |
Every piece starts common, in iron.
Upgrading
Upgrading raises a piece by one level, up to level 10. It is paid in the material of the piece’s current rarity: an iron piece is upgraded with iron from level 1 to 10.
Reforging
At level 10, reforging promotes the piece one rarity up (iron → obsidian → jade → quartz → diamond) and sends it back to level 1. It is paid in the gem of the rarity you aim for, plus the boss fragment of that piece (Helmet, Chestplate, Boots, or your weapon’s fragment), dropped by bosses.
- It can fail, and the chance grows with each rarity: 20% for the first reforge, then 15% more for each one after.
- Nothing is ever destroyed. A failure costs only the gems and sats you put in. The piece stays at level 10 and you try again.
- The higher the rarity, the more each level adds.
- There is no durability: nothing wears out.
In one sentence: a level is paid in the material the piece is, a rarity in the material it aims for.
Vault keys
Keys are forged with Hacking: two gems and sats, plus a Hacking level.
| Key | Opens | Materials | Sats | Hacking level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Obsidian Key | Obsidian Vault | 6 Iron Ore, 4 Obsidian | 40 | 1 |
| Jade Key | Jade Vault | 6 Obsidian, 4 Jade | 140 | 2 |
| Quartz Key | Quartz Vault | 6 Jade, 4 Quartz | 280 | 4 |
| Diamond Key | Diamond Vault | 6 Quartz, 3 Diamond | 560 | 6 |
The Iron Vault needs no key. The Ranked Key is different: see Ranked runs.
