Blade and Soul China will be adopting the same Equipment Enhancement 2.0 system from BNS Korea. Weapons and accessories can ÔÇ£consumeÔÇØ other equipment to increase in level. The higher the level, the more powerful the item is. In the past, lower level-tier items are either npc or destroyed but now you can ÔÇ£feedÔÇØ these items to your equipment to gain Experience Points for your ÔÇ£growingÔÇØ equipment.
Overview
As part of the Equipment Growth System, players will use a primary equipment to consume other equipment. In this process, your primary equipment receives experience and increases in level. The higher the level the more powerful it gets. This is one of the end game elements of Blade and Soul. You will farm for weapons and continue to feed them as they evolved into more powerful weapons.
So which equipment can grow in level? Any Blue-colour (rarity) equipment and above will be able to ÔÇ£growÔÇØ when they consumed another piece of equipment. Whenever an equipment is ÔÇ£fedÔÇØ (by consuming another equipment) it will gain experience points. Every level there is an experience bar to indicate how much experience is needed for your equipment to proceed to the next level.
Example of a weapon:
Blue-colour Equipment and above : Consumes EXP to increase in grades
Green-colour Equipment and below : Consumed as raw materials by Blue-colour equipment or higher.
Equipment will undergo three stages of growth, breakdown as follows:
1. Growing Stage (Grade 1-5)
Your equipment grows as you consume other equipment to gain experience and increase in grade.
2. Breakthrough Stage (Grade 5)
Once your equipment reaches to Grade 5 (max level), you will not be able to consume other equipment to level up. Instead, you will need to undergo a ÔÇ£breakthroughÔÇØ process where you will consume a specific Grade 5 (max level) equipment to be promoted to Grade 6.
3. Evolution Stage (Grade 6-10)
Once your equipment reached Grade 6, you can continue to consume other equipment to level up to Grade 10. Once your equipment reached Grade 10 (max level) you will be required to consume another specific Grade 10 (max level) equipment to form a NEW EQUIPMENT at Grade 1.
Example of a weapon growth chart :
Experience gained from Raw Materials
Green Equipment ÔÇô A fixed amount of experience is gained whenever it is consumed.
Blue and Purple Equipment - Offers a fix range of experience points when consumed.
For example, the Green Equipment offers 5 exp, Blue Equipment offers 5-20 exp and Purple Equipment offers 10-50exp. Whenever a piece of equipment is consumed, the ÔÇ£lampsÔÇØ will show you how much exp you received from the process. The more lamps the better!
Experience Booster Talisman
Warrior's Soul
Other than consuming equipment to level up, you can also consume another item called, the WarriorÔÇÖs Soul. WarriorÔÇÖs Soul provides a lot of experience points to your equipment when consumed.
WarriorÔÇÖs Soul can be obtained when you break down a Grade 10 (Max level) equipment. ==
