Upgrading

Upgrading is a fundamental mechanic in Remixed Dungeon that allows players to improve their equipment using various scrolls and items.

Overview

Upgrading enhances the effectiveness of items by increasing their stats and capabilities. The most common method involves using Scrolls of Upgrade to improve weapons, armor, rings, and other equipment.

Upgrading Process

  • Scroll of Upgrade: Standard item to upgrade equipment by +1 level
  • Application: Can be applied to Weapons, Armor, Rings, and other upgradeable items
  • Immediate Effect: Provides immediate stat improvements upon use
  • Level Scaling: Each upgrade level provides consistent stat bonuses

Effects by Item Type

  • Weapons: Increased damage range and potential special effects
  • Armor: Improved defense rating (DR) and protection
  • Rings: Enhanced magical properties
  • Wands: More charges and potentially faster recharging
  • Artifacts: Improved effectiveness and sometimes additional charges

Special Upgrading Items

Risks and Considerations

  • Curse Risk: Applying upgrades to items with curses can cause negative effects
  • Incompatibility: Some enchantments/glyphs may be incompatible with existing ones
  • Cursed Items: Upgrading cursed items may result in harmful effects until uncursed

Strategy

  • Priority: Generally prioritize upgrading effective weapons and armor first
  • Timing: Early game upgrades have more proportional impact on survival
  • Resource Management: Balance between immediate needs and long-term upgrades
  • Cautious Use: Be careful when upgrading cursed items without uncursing them first
