This page serves to cover the basic equipment upgrade systems: Scrolling and Star Force.
Scrolling
Scrolling is an upgrade system that consumes upgrade slots in an equipment. It is only available in Non-Reboot worlds (Reboot worlds can still obtain Spell Trace but it can only be sold to NPC for 5,000 meso each).
There are many types of scrolls, the most common of them being the spell trace.
Spell Trace
Spell Trace is used to consume upgrade slots to improve your equipment power. There are 3 possible upgrade choice (4 for weapons) with varying success rates and stat enhancement. Enhanced stat values and Spell Trace Cost depends on equipment level and type. Generally, higher equipment level and lower success rates will cost more spell traces but provide higher stat boosts. During certain Sundays, success rates for spell traces may be increased (known as Spell Trace Fever Time) or spell trace consumption may be lowered.

During certain events, some of the attempts may be 100% success rate during the event period (typically for 5★ → 6★, 10★ → 11★ and 15★ → 16★).
Certain event maps will also reduce the destroy chance to 0% for free for 12★ → 13★ to 14★ → 15★ if the enhancement is performed inside the map.
- Guardian Angel event effects
- Polaris will double the success rate (obtained by killing 1,000 monsters in level range, lasts 10 minutes)
- Lil White Star will halve the destroy rate (obtained by holding onto fainted glowing star for 15 minutes to brighten it, then clearing the quest, lasts 10 minutes)
Both effects can be reobtained as many times to refresh the buff duration, and can be applied at the same time. The resulting rates are shown below. (The rates shown will not change but the effects are applied)

Stats Boost
This section shows the stats increase by star force enhancement, which is why it is strongly encouraged since it is fairly cheap.
Scaled stats (increment based on proportion of item stat excluding Bonus Stats) are updated spontaneously when there is a change in stats due to scrolls, so the enhancement sequence will not affect the end state of an equipment.
For scaled stats, the calculation in numerical form for a particular attempt will be:
![{\displaystyle 1+RoundDown[ItemStat\times (Proportion\%/100)]}](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/07aba8c9e897e637517eded7c3e2d6923e90cd0f)
- Definitions
- Job: Increase the primary and secondary stat or ATT of the item's job type needed (for thieves, STR is not increased). The increase is only applied once if there are overlapping stats due to multiple job types.
- Visible: Increase the stat so long as it is more than 0, excluding bonus stats.
- Category A items: Items that will increase Max HP.

Superior Items
Similar to Normal equips but the rates are different from Normal equips. However the stat gained is tremendous.

Success Rates
Non-bracket percentages are based on Overall % and not a % of non-success rate. Brackets show the % of non-success rates.
Superior Shielding Ward cannot be used to remove destruction chance im star force for 5★ → 6★ and 6★ → 7★. However, it can still protect destruction from equip enhancement scrolls.

- Guardian Angel event effects
- Polaris will double the success rate (obtained by killing 1,000 monsters in level range, lasts 10 minutes)
- Lil White Star will halve the destroy rate (obtained by holding onto fainted glowing star for 15 minutes to brighten it, then clearing the quest, lasts 10 minutes)
Both effects can be reobtained as many times to refresh the buff duration, and can be applied at the same time. The resulting rates are shown below. (The rates shown will not change but the effects are applied)

Meso Cost
Meso Cost for all stars for the same equipment is the same. Equip Level is rounded down to the nearest 10 levels.
Meso Cost = , rounded off to nearest hundreds.
Stats Boost
Scaled stats (increment based on proportion of item stat excluding Bonus Stats) are updated spontaneously when there is a change in stats due to scrolls, so the enhancement sequence will not affect the end state of an equipment.
For scaled stats, the calculation in numerical form for a particular attempt will be:
"Visible" means the stat will be increased so long as it is more than 0, excluding bonus stats.

Star Catcher
Before each attempt, you will play a Star Catcher minigame where a star will move from left to right, then right to left, repeating its cycle. Press the "Stop" button or press "Spacebar" to stop the star from moving. If it lands on the yellow region marked out in the Star movement path, success rate increases by 5% multiplied. Maintain/Decrease and Destroy rates will be redistributed at the same bracketed rates.
- Note
- If you enhance 20 times successively within a short period (10 minute window based on server time, measured from 12am) star movement speed increases and the yellow region area decreases (difficulty increases by 1 level)
- Every 10 minutes (measured from server time 12am), the difficulty will decrease by 2 levels.
- There are 6 levels of difficulty.
You can cancel this minigame by ticking "Cancel Star Catcher" but the success rate boost will not be applied but you get to enhance way faster (does not mean you will save time in the long run though, since you are slightly more likely to fail enhancements and decrease stars). Cancelling star catcher also constitutes as failing a star catch and it will increase its difficulty if you decided not to skip star catcher after many attempts.
Chance Time
If your equipment decrease stars twice in a row, you enter this special state called Chance Time. In this state, success rate 100% and it lasts for 1 enhancement. (Effect will be gone if you either utilised it, did not enhance within 5 minutes, or enhanced another equipment)
- Note
- Chance Time only applies to the equipment that triggers it (not transferrable to other equips)
- If you are allowed to pay double mesos to remove destroy chance, for chance time you don't need to pay double mesos since there is no destroy chance if it is 100% success rate.
- Star Catcher minigame will not appear during Chance Time since the success rate is already 100%.
Equipment Traces
When you destroy your equipment due to failure in star force enhancements, the equipment will leave a trace. You can use the "Equipment Transfer" in the Enhancement UI beside "Star Force Enhancement" (not to be confused with Transfer/Todd's Hammer) to transfer all stats on the trace into a new piece of the same equipment.
- For Normal equips, 12 Stars (as well as its relevant stats) are retained.
- For Superior equips, stars as well as its relevant stats are not retained.
All other non-star force stats are retained and will be transferred to the new copy of the same equipment: weapon soul, potential, additional potentials, scrolled stats, bonus stats and tradability (Untradeable/Tradable till worn/Can be traded once/Fully tradable)
- Warning
Equipment traces are only given for destroying due to star force enhancement attempts only. Destruction due to other means will not give any traces (so your equipment will be lost forever).
Star Force Conversion
For Demon Avengers, since Star Force enhancement does not give HP that is actually meant for damage enhancement, additional HP is compensated for Demon Avengers only. Based on current equipped Star Force excluding medal and title, HP given is based on tiers. If you changed tiers, the HP difference for earlier stars will be compensated.
Only equipment star force is counted, excluding medal and title.
| Equipped Star Force (excluding medal and title) | HP per Star (not affected by equip HP -50% system) |
|---|---|
| 0~60 | 80 |
| 61~100 | 100 |
| 101~140 | 120 |
| 141~200 | 140 |
| 201~220 | 142 |
| 221~250 | 144 |
| 251~270 | 146 |
| 271~290 | 148 |
| 291~310 | 150 |
| 311~320 | 152 |
| 321~330 | 154 |
| 331~340 | 156 |
| 341~350 | 158 |
| 351~360 | 160 |
| 361~370 | 162 |
| 371~380 | 164 |
| 381 or higher | 166 |
(Star force above 390 is not confirmed)
Note that Stars from Superior equipments are treated the same as Normal equip Stars, similarly for 16+ Stars and the lower stars. Overall stars are double counted.
