Can't Upgrade Outfit

[Kerrie]

So I have the full level 28 worker's outfit, and in another discussion I read that you should be able to upgrade outfits if you have them in your inventory instead of on your character. I've gone to the sewing machine and tried to use it and it keeps telling me No Equipment Applicable. I've tried it with my character wearing the clothes, I've tried it with the clothing in her quickbar, and I've tried it with the clothing in her large inventory. Nothing is working.

Is anybody else experiencing this or has someone gotten far enough they can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The explanation is not very clear on this. So that's how it works.

What is your character's level? If your level is below 40, then try again after you reach 35 or 40 levels to equip the next level of clothing. I'm not sure, but my character is over 40, and when I use the machine, I can upgrade low level clothes to match the 40 levels.

My character is only level 36, so if the next clothing level is level 40, this would make sense. I'll update again when my character hits level 40 to mark your post as the topic answer if that's what it turns out to be. I would mark it now but I don't want to be misleading when I haven't confirmed it myself.

buy the lowest tier clothing, then try again
buy next tier try again
its prolly level depended

It is. (level dependent)

You start Orange(ish), then eventually get Blue, then Brown with the fancy shorts. There's a jacket and then another Blue one after that. And also the fancy Liesure Suit for the fextivals. (I looked mighty fine for the hot pot)

I'm not one for dress up, but this game screams for more fashion choices. It really does.

Cheers..!

So turns out it is indeed level dependent through my own testing. I was able to get my Worker's Outfit pants and hat upgraded to level 40, but couldn't upgrade the shirt. I can't upgrade ANY shirt ingame to level 40, actually, and my character is now level 42 We'll see if it comes up when she hits 45 I suppose.

Spoiler....maybe....





So I just leveled up again to a Hoodie and Shorts. The hoodie isn't bad.

Seriously though, this game has a serious shorts fetish.

Definitely comes across as a Chinese little boy thing, for me it's even a little uncomfortable.

Thankfully I can take the other pants/jackets that are more rugged than cutesy and level them up.

Cheers..!

Play as a girl, get skirts. With accidental panty shots when mining overhead.

I'm having this problem and I don't really get the replies. I'm level 44 and have a level 12 skirt I want to upgrade, but I get the "no equipment applicable" error. The only item I can upgrade is a level 1 skirt.

Can someone explain how the upgrade system works?

You need to own a higher level piece of equipment of the same type - for example if you want to bring a lv 15 jacket to level 40 you need to own a lv 40 upper body type armor.

The sewing machine is supposed to work purely cosmetical,
so you can wear your favourite piece of clothing instead the armor that is sold/found.
