Guide: Success, Failures and Effects of Upgrade
I. The Usage of Power Dice
Whenever you use these dices to upgrade, whether the upgrade is successful or unsuccessful, the dice is used up and will not come back. Depending on the level, if the upgrade is unsuccessful, you might lose the item you are upgrading as well as the dice. Note that it is impossible to upgrade jewellery (eg. necklace, earring, rings).

Power Dice 6 [6D]
Reactant: Weapon, Armour (helm, glove, suit, boots)
Product: +6 ~ +10 of the reactant (+6 turns into +7, +7 turns into +8.. etc)
Notes: In the case of a failure, the item will be lost

[Note: The set of upgraded items does not necessarily need to be the same "set" (eg. Cloud set, Seraphim set) for the attributes to work]
V. Cash Shop Items
There are certain cash shop items that will give extra bonuses when upgrading your weapons and armours. An elucidation of the function of the items are given below:
Scroll of SProtect
Cost: 400 GPotato for 5 scrolls
Function: When applied to a item, the item will not break in case of a failure. This is for the use of upgrades such as the uses of power dice 4,6,12 and cards lv 2 and 3.
Scroll of GProtect
Cost: 500 GPotato for 5 scrolls
Function: Not to be confused with its seeming counterpart. When applied to a suit, the armour will not break in case of a failure. This is for the use with socketing (piercing) and is used with power dices 8, 10 in the socket window (refer to the socket window in section VI).
Scroll of Smelting
Cost: 300 GPotato for 5 scrolls
Function: When used while upgrading, it increases the chances of success of the upgrade by 10%. Note that the scroll will not increase the success rate of an upgrading above +7 (ie. +7~+8, +8~+9)
VI. The Socket Window
To access to the socket window, you must visit the Weapon Dealer NPC of Flaris, Saintmorning or Darkon. Click on him and select "Item Piercing". There are 3 fields.The highest is the slot in which the suit is placed. Just drag and drop from the inventory. The slot in the middle is where the dice (either Dice 8 or 10) is placed. Again, just drag and drop from the inventory. The lowest is where the GProtect scroll is placed .
And the number under that shows the amount of penya needed to be paid for the item piercing. This varies directly with the level of the armour.
