Upgrade

Command reference: This page documents the in-game upgrade command.

UPGRADE COMMAND ----------------------------

The upgrade command allows you to increase an item's radiance using Small Radiant Shards, potentially upgrading it to the next quality tier.

SYNTAX ----------------------------------

  upgrade <item>

REQUIREMENTS ----------------------------------

1. The item must be a weapon, armor, or jewelry 2. The item must be unequipped (not currently worn) 3. The item must be below Legendary quality (quality < 2) 4. You must have at least one Small Radiant Shard in your inventory

   or inside a container you're carrying

HOW IT WORKS ----------------------------------

Each Small Radiant Shard adds 5%% radiance to your item.

When you use the upgrade command, you'll see:

• The item's current quality and radiance percentage
• How many shards you have available
• The maximum number of shards you can use

The command will prompt you to confirm how many shards to use.

UPGRADING QUALITY ----------------------------------

When radiance reaches 100%%, the item automatically upgrades:

• Normal → Epic
• Epic → Legendary

Any radiance beyond 100%% carries over to the next tier.

Example: An Epic item at 85%% radiance gains 20 shards (100%% radiance).

• It upgrades to Legendary
• The extra 5%% is lost (Legendary items don't track radiance)

EXAMPLES ----------------------------------

  upgrade sword
    Upgrades the sword in your inventory

  upgrade runed
    Upgrades an item with "runed" in its name

  upgrade {mylabel}
    Upgrades an item you've labeled (see help label)

IMPORTANT NOTES ----------------------------------

• You must unequip the item before upgrading
• Shards are consumed during the upgrade process
• Shards can be in your inventory or inside containers you're carrying
• The upgrade process saves your inventory automatically
• Epic items can only gain 100%% radiance (they cap when upgrading to Legendary)

FINDING SHARDS ----------------------------------

Small Radiant Shards drop from rare spawn NPCs. The drop rate is better if the enemy is difficult (red or yellow con).
