🏆 Tier Upgrade System (T1 – T4)
This system uses Apollo Crown as an example, but all donation headgears can be upgraded through multiple tiers using Ether materials and TCG.
✅ Updated system: Tier Upgrade now uses TCG as the only item at risk.
⚠ On FAILURE, ONLY the TCG cost for that tier is lost. Everything else is kept:
- Your selected item (main) — safe
- Secondary HG (catalyst) — safe
- Ether materials — safe
- Zeny — safe
➡ On SUCCESS, all requirements (TCG + Ether materials + Zeny + Blessing + Secondary HG) are consumed and your item is upgraded.
⚠ Important Reminder Before Tier Upgrade
Please make sure you **select the correct main item** when doing the Tier Upgrade.
• The item you **click/select in the list** will be treated as the **main equipment**.<br>
• If that selected item already has **refine and/or enchant**, those will be the ones **carried over / kept**.<br>
• If you accidentally select the copy **without refine or enchant** as the main item, then the refine/enchant from the other item used in the combination will be **lost**.
✅ **Always choose the equipment with the refine or enchant as your main item** before confirming the Tier Upgrade.
Once confirmed, the system will follow the **selected item only**, so please check carefully before proceeding.
Please make sure to select the correct item as your main equipment before proceeding. The item you choose will determine which refine and enchant will be carried over.
If you accidentally select the wrong item and your refine or enchant is lost, this will be considered a player error.
❗ We will not be able to reimburse or restore any lost refine or enchant caused by selecting the wrong item.
Please double-check your selection carefully before confirming the Tier Upgrade.

📌 NOTE!!
⚠️ Secondary Headgear = MATERIAL (consumed on SUCCESS only)
The Secondary Headgear (HG) used during Tier Upgrade is treated as a material — but it is consumed ONLY when the upgrade SUCCEEDS.
👉 On failure, the Secondary HG is returned to you.
❌ On FAILURE
If the upgrade fails, you lose ONLY the TCG cost for that tier:
- T1 → 3x TCG
- T2 → 6x TCG
- T3 → 9x TCG
- T4 → 12x TCG
✅ Everything else is kept — your selected item, the Secondary HG, all Ether materials, Zeny, and any Ether Blacksmith Blessing.
✅ On SUCCESS
All requirements are consumed (TCG + Ether materials + Zeny + Blessing + Secondary HG) and your item advances to the next tier, keeping the refine and enchant of your selected (main) item.
⚖️ Why this system exists
Even with a high success rate, this design is intentional to:
- Prevent mass production of high-tier headgears
- Avoid server flooding of Tier A items
- Keep the economy balanced and competitive
⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING
- Only your TCG is at risk every upgrade
- On failure, only TCG is consumed — your item and materials are safe
- This is not a bug — this is the system design
📌 FINAL NOTE
Please understand the risk before proceeding with Tier Upgrade.
❗ No reimbursements will be given for the TCG lost on failed attempts
