Lost Ark: How to Enhance Gear Honing

Honing gear is a vital way to enhance your damage and item level in Lost Ark, a new MMORPG produced by Smilegate RPG. Item level is a statistic that is utilized to unlock different Guardian Raids, Abyss Raids, and missions, therefore hone your gear to the highest potential level whenever feasible. Visit a Gear Sharpening NPC to begin honing your gear. They are marked on the map with a hammer symbol and can be found in most towns.

When you speak with the NPC, you'll be taken to a menu where you can enhance your equipment. Your Hat, Pauldrons, Chestpiece, Pants, Gloves, and Weapon can all be upgraded here. When you upgrade a piece of equipment, it gains a level and improves its stats. On the right side of the screen, you can see which stats will be enhanced and by how much.

In Lost Ark, you'll need a few items to fine-tune your gear. You'll need a specific type of Stone Fragment, to begin with. For your weapon, you'll need Destruction Stone Fragments, and for the rest of your gear, you'll need Guardian Stone Fragments. These resources can be obtained through quests, Chaos Dungeons, and Raids.

Harmony Leapstones can be obtained through quests, Chaos Dungeons, Raids, and Daily/Weekly Missions. On the screen, you'll see how many of a particular resource you'll need to level up a piece of gear.

You'll require a set number of Harmony Shards every time you try to level up a piece of gear. These Shards can be obtained in a similar method. While upgrading your gear, you'll be able to see how many Shards you'll require.

Your gear has a chance to fail when upgrading by the time you reach Level 7. This starts at a 90% success rate and decreases as your gear becomes more powerful. Star's Breath can help you enhance your success rate.

After that, select Gear Honing and then Check Results. Your gear will level up, and your Item Level will rise if you succeed. If you fail, your gear will remain at the same level, and the next time you try to level up the same gear, you will have a higher Success Rate.

It's worth noting that all of the materials mentioned above are available for purchase in the Lost Ark Shop. Mari's Secret Store, to be precise. This adds a small aspect of pay-to-win to the game since those who spend more will be able to grow their Item Level faster, but it's not a significant quantity of pay-to-win, and it's largely for convenience.

That's all there is to know about Gear Honing in Raiders of Lost Ark. Increase the level of your gear as quickly as possible to gain access to new game content.
