A lot of new changes await you at the smith! At the smith, you can now see which item is equipped to which hero and track its refinement and enhancement progress—and there is much more to come!
We will be splitting the Smith Improvements Sneak Peeks into three parts to thoroughly explain all the upcoming changes over the next few days: Refinement, Enhancement, and Dismantling.
▷ Refinement
Refining equipment upgrades its rarity, increases the number of perk slots, and improves the quality of existing perks. All five equipment types—Weapon, Armor, Headgear, Talisman, and Ring—can be refined.
However, normal equipment, that are not uniques or part of a set, can only be refined twice, allowing for a maximum of two rarity upgrades. Once an item reaches its refinement limit, it cannot be upgraded to a higher rarity.
- Ex.: Rare ⇢ Epic ⇢ Legendary
◆ Important to note: Unique and Set piece equipment have no refinement limit. This means that unique items and set equipment can potentially be upgraded all the way to Mythic rarity.
▻ New Rarity: Mythic
The new rarity after Legendary named „Mythic“ will also be introduced, and will only be achieved through crafting. To obtain a Mythic equipment, you must refine three duplicate Legendary equipment pieces.
▻ Refinement Potential Bars
Equipment pieces now display their refinement potential above their level on the item icon, represented by three Refinement Potential Bars. These bars fill up as the item undergoes refinement, indicating its progression. When all three bars are full, the item has reached its maximum refinement potential. If no bars are filled, the item has not yet been refined in its current state.
- Ex.: A rare Pumpkin Helmet from the Pumpkin set has three empty bars, representing its potential progression from Rare to Epic, then Legendary, and finally Mythic. If the item were uncommon, it could only be refined up to Epic and no further.
This is not the only content planned for the big Equipment Rework Update later this month. Some details may change for balancing. The exact release date will be announced soon—stay tuned!
