Unlocking and upgrading gear is one of the main staples of just about any MMO, andLost Arkis no different. However, before you start upgrading your gear, you will need to unlockGear Honing. Gear Honing allows you to enhance your weapons and armor so that you can increase its level. This will directly influence the difficulty of endgame content, as you need to have anItem Levelof 250 to complete much of it.
Depending on what you are trying to upgrade, you will needHarmony Shards,Stone Fragments, andHarmony Leapstones.
You can unlock Gear Honing at Level 50.

After that, you’re able to visit a Gear Honing NPC (indicated by a hammer symbol on the map) to bring up the respective menu. You can select which items you want to upgrade from the left side of the menu and click on theUpgradebutton. This will bring you to a different menu where you can see what materials and Silver you need to complete the upgrade.
Once the upgrade is finished, you’ll be able to see options to add additional honing materials and the success or failure rates of other upgrades.
If it so happens that the honing process fails, don’t worry—the items themselves won’t be damaged, just the items used to do the honing.
