What is “Item Option Upgrade”?
In general, there are 5 different types of weapons and armor in Dekaron that you can obtain from creatures while playing the
game - Normal, Magic, Noble, Divine Noble, and Legendary. All of these items, except legendary items, can be refined by adding
random qualities. This system allows you to take existing weapons and armor and increases their usefulness in various ways, and
when successful, the option upgrade will result in a random improvement to the item being upgraded.
Learning more about Dekaron item options:
1.
Normal item - No existing modifications. Successfully refining a normal item will automatically turn it into a magic item.
2.
Magic item - Magic item already has two modifications. Successfully refining a magic item will turn it into a noble item.
3.
Noble item - Noble item already has three modifications. Successfully refining a noble item will automatically turn it into a divine noble item.
4.
Divine Noble item - Divine Noble item already has four modifications.
Successfully refining a divine noble item essentially turns it into a legendary item, which cannot be refined any further.
Note: Legendary items cannot be further refined.
Explanation: You may upgrade any weapon or item of armor that is below the legendary status.
If the process is successful, the item will gain one modification option and will advance one step in quality ?
Normal to Magic, for instance, or Magic to Noble.
If the upgrade fails, there are three different possible results, which are described under “Failure results & Penalties” at the end of this section.
Also refer to the three screens below for examples of different types of items:
User Interface

Go to the Alchemist NPCs, Carmen at Braiken Castle or Isadora at Loa Castle, and select the option:
“[Option Item] I would like to create an option item”.
2.
By selecting the menu above, the UI window (on the right side) will appear. A description of each function in the User Interface is as follows:
a) Equipment Slot: Place a weapon or armor item to upgrade here.
b) Current Option Information: Displays the option types for each item grade.
c) Option Gem (Marvrichas) Slot: Shows the Marvrichas required to attempt an item upgrade.
d) Optional Item Slot: To increase the chances of success, you can place an “Alchemist’s Will”.
e) DIL Costs: Indicates how much DIL is required.
f) Tells you necessary materials for each item upgrade.
1. Place the item in the Equipment Slot.
2. Select the corresponding Marvrichas and place it into the slot.
3. You can use the Alchemist’s Will item to double the Probability
(This is optional, and upgrade can be done without the Alchemist’s Will)
4. Once all setting is completed, the “Creation” Button will appear.
Note: You must have sufficient DIL to complete the upgrade.
A Successful Result
1. If failed, you will suffer one of three penalties:
- None of its existing modifications will be changed
- Your item will be degraded by one level and will lose one modification.
- Your item will be degraded by two levels and it will lose two modifications.
In case your item is degraded, it will lose modifications in the opposite order in which they were added.
In other words, the last modification or upgrade will be the first to be lost in case of the upgrade failure.
