Core Enhancement Mechanics Overview
Failstacks & Success Chances
Every enhancement failure builds failstacks (enhancement chance increase). Each failstack adds a fixed percentage bonus to your base success rate. Higher gear tiers have lower base chances and specific softcap thresholds.
Ancient Anvil (Pity System)
The Ancient Anvil (Agris Essence) guarantees success after a fixed number of failures on the same item and enhancement tier. When your essence counter reaches the threshold, the next attempt succeeds with a 100% chance.
Cron Stone Protection
Cron Stones prevent gear enhancement levels from dropping upon failure. For accessories, Cron Stones prevent destruction with a chance to maintain or drop one level.
Caphras Enhancement
TRI, TET, and PEN boss equipment can be enhanced up to level 20 using Caphras Stones with 100% success rate, granting permanent bonus AP, DP, evasion, damage reduction, and HP.
