# Equipment

Equipment is a collection of items with a variety of options for defeating powerful enemies that can be equipped in six different areas. The stats and combat options of equipped gear will be reflected on the player's character, giving them an advantage in battle.



## Grade

* Every piece of equipment has a color-coded rank, and each rank activates special options.
* All equipment can be merged to increase its rank, so players don't have to be disappointed if they get a low rank.
* It's also worth noting that the higher the rank, the higher the level of equipment that can be maximally upgraded, and the greater the growth of key stats, so it's always a wise idea to have higher-ranked equipment.



## Upgrade&#x20;

* Players can increase the main stats of their equipment by spending Gold and Designs that can be earned in-game.
* The required Design must be the same Design as the part the player wishes to upgrade (e.g. to upgrade a weapon, a weapon Design is required).
* Each piece of equipment has a level that determines how much it can be upgraded, so merging to create a higher-ranked piece of equipment is a must in order to get more upgrades.



## Downgrade

* To ensure that players don't become inactive in spending their scarce resources and designs, Mega Road supports a downgrade feature that returns 100% of the resources and designs spent on equipment upgrades.
* The downgrade feature allows players to feel free to upgrade to new gear at any time.



## Merge

* Merging is the most important feature of a piece of equipment, and the only one that allows a player to increase the rank of a piece of equipment to a higher rank.
* To merge, a player needs three completely identical items (same rank, part, and name) and consumes two of them to convert them into one item of the next higher rank.
* However, at certain ranks, merging is allowed with items of the same rank and part instead of completely identical items, refer to the table below for details.
