Overview
editThe Armor Progression System on AstRO allows players to incrementally evolve their defensive gear across Renewal episodes and end-game raids without having to discard older armors or refines. Beginning at Grace Sets (Level 100/150), players can upgrade through each successive episode tier up to Gaebolg (Level 230), and branch into elite end-game evolutions including Yorscalp (Level 250), Nebula Raid Armors, Star Seals, and Engraved Biosphere Rune Armors.
| NPC Name | Armor Progression |
|---|---|
| Location | Prontera () |
| Scope | Level 100 (Grace) through Level 250 (Yorscalp / Nebula / Star Seals / Engraved Rune) |
| Refine Preservation | Supported via Safe Upgrade recipes (preserves exact refinement level) |
Progression Roadmap
editThe equipment upgrade pathway progresses linearly through the Renewal episodes before branching into endgame raid and biosphere specializations:
- Episode Progression:
- Grace (Lv 100/150) → Automatic (Lv 160) → Gray Wolf (Lv 170) → Snowflower (Lv 180) → Glacier (Lv 210) → Dim Glacier (Lv 215) → Gaebolg (Lv 230) → Yorscalp (Lv 250)
- End-Game Specializations (Level 250):
- Yorscalp Armors → Faint Star Armors → Nebula Armors (Constellation Tower Raid)
- Yorscalp Accessories → Signet of Star → Star Seals (Constellation Tower Raid)
- Yorscalp Armors → Elemental Rune Armors → Engraved Rune Armors (Varmundt Biosphere Depth 1)
Core Upgrade Rules
edit1. Normal vs Safe Upgrades:
- Normal Upgrade: Consumes fewer materials, but incurs a -3 Refine Penalty on the resulting item (e.g., a +11 armor becomes +8).
- Safe Upgrade: Consumes additional materials, but 100% preserves the exact Refinement Level (e.g., a +11 armor remains +11).
2. Enchants and Grades:
- Enchants and grade status do not carry forward across episode boundaries (e.g., Grace to Automatic).
- Between end-game reform stages (e.g., Rune Armor to Engraved Rune Armor), specialized scrolls retain refines according to server reform rules.
3. NPC Availability:
- Upgrades can be performed at the Armor Progression NPC in Prontera .
