Improving your equipment in Blue Protocol Star Resonance is key to boosting its performance. Start by visiting Maxim at the Artisan Guild to unlock enhancement features through quests. Materials for upgrades can be gathered through exploration, purchased from vendors, or exchanged with others via the Trading Center. This guide explores essential strategies for optimizing your gear.

Gear Enhancement Methods

The game offers three primary upgrade systems: Reforging, Refinement, and Embedding. Additionally, the Gear Dismantle option lets you convert unused items into currency based on their tier. Below, we break down each method’s mechanics and benefits.

Embedding Crystals

Embedding allows you to socket crystals into gear slots, with effects determined by gem color and tier. Note that embedded gems become bound to equipment permanently unless replaced. Craft specialized gems through Gemcrafting, then strategize placement based on character builds. Always reserve high-tier crystals for endgame gear rather than temporary items.

Upgrading Slots

Refinement permanently expands your equipment’s capacity across all gear pieces. Significant bonuses unlock at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20, requiring progressively more resources. Prioritize this system after securing your primary weapon and armor, as slot upgrades persist through gear changes.

Attribute Optimization

Reforging elevates gear quality by randomizing bonus attributes. Higher rarity items allow more reforges, with a perfection meter tracking progress. While maximum meter completion prevents further stat increases, you can continue re-rolling traits. Stockpile Reforge Stones from challenging content to perfect your gear’s modifiers.
