📈 BEST UPGRADE ORDER – WHERE TO SPEND FIRST
- Enhancement to +7: Gives the most noticeable stat increase per resource spent.
- Soul Stones (Epic tier): Guaranteed stat boost – always socket your best stones.
- Awakening (first 2–3 lines): Relatively cheap for good returns. Aim for P.Atk/M.Atk% or primary stat (STR/INT).
- Skill Card for main skill: Boosts your most used ability.
- Awakening to 5 lines: Expensive but valuable for min‑maxing.
- Enhancement beyond +10: Very expensive – only for end‑game weapons.
🗺️ BEST PLACES TO FARM UPGRADE MATERIALS
- Enhancement Stones: Crystal Valley (golems), Cubric dungeon, Island of Forgotten Gods.
- Awakening Stones: Awakening Stone dungeon (daily entry), Sky Fortress raid, Alcatraz dungeon.
- Soul Stones: Monster drops everywhere; upgrade via Alchemist (3 Basic → 1 Rare → 3 Rare → 1 Epic).
- Skill Cards: Island of Forgotten Gods (elite monsters), Parallel World, Auction House.
- Protection Scrolls: Cash Shop only – save for +7 and above.
💡 For Soul Stones, always upgrade to Epic tier before socketing – Epic stones give triple the bonus of Basic stones.
