Weapons & Armor Upgrading Tips

Prioritize Crafting & Upgrading One Weapon Type

Choose your favorite weapon to main and focus on crafting and upgrading the different elemental types from that weapon category. This saves you from spending rare resources on other weapons.

Streamline Build To Save Materials & Effort

To prevent spreading your materials thinly, it's best to streamline your armor build. Focus on creating and upgrading sets that will allow you to fight stronger monsters faster as this will get you better gear in the future.
