you can reduce the costs for upgrading your gear by 20 % but you have to get in rank 4 (if i remember right) of the mercenary ranks for that.

When I realized how costly regular upgrading is, I concluded that it's best to go with the newest gear the game gets you instead. That means I also rarely even engrave gear. So far, this works pretty well. I always use the best gear I get and destroy the older stuff with the one exception that I keep legendary gear for later when I might get the complete set. This way I also have enough drachme and material for the important ship upgrades.

Players who always try to keep their gear upgraded will feel that the game is extraordinarily grindy - and probably this is what Ubisoft had in mind as an incentive to make use of microtransactions. But it can be circumvented as the game always will give you new gear that fits your current level.

well, i love the look of my helmet, my sword and the rest of my gear so i do upgrade. But except of the helmet, the sowrd and maybe the hip piece my gear is replaceable as soon as i find another purple one of that pieces but if i do not in time i upgrade that too just to keep the look. :)

for those new comers ,try to kill cultist end of the game (u ll get items by your level) because upgrading cost for gold items are amazingly expensive but dont hesitate to engraving your items by the way poison and fire becomes weapon damage engarving stats very useful

Also dismantling level 40-50 gear gives way more materials than 1-39, you'll have materials in no time to upgrade a set of gear to 50 later on

Upgraded this full set I have like literally 5 seconds after I hit 50

Don't forget that you can change the cosmetic look of your gear by pressing X (xbox controller) or square on PS in the inventory menu. Hover over the piece of gear (don't go inside the selection menu) and then you can switch to whatever gear you have looted. Leveling up also unlocks new metals and platings for more generic gear like spartan breastplates etc. So I can have recent gear that I loot that is my level and has good stats and then you can still have the look of whatever armor you fancy. I think that's a nice touch by Ubisoft. Breaks the immersion somewhat but the upgrading system for gear is where they have failed completely. This is useful especially for early game up to like level 30 where you won't have many matching legendary sets yet. I only have 1 for now and I am level 34. Also I have found out that if you kill the last cult member the rest of the legendary set will automatically scale to your level or level of that last armor piece which is nice. (I have auto leveling on so all the content is always my level. Playing on hard difficulty. And since there is a lot of content you will outscale most of stuff quickly, therefore making it too easy when enemies are underleveled.) Okay maybe I stop writing my essay now lol.

It is foolish to upgrade gear at every opportunity. The weapon or armor only increase by a measly amount between levels. It is too expensive. It will cost the same to upgrade from one level to the next as it costs to upgrade from one level to ten or twenty or 30 ... etc. levels higher.

Once you get good engravings. What does make sense is to upgrade the engravings. This upgrade becomes available on the 21st, 31st, 41st etc. levels. For it is at 21, 31, etc where the engravings receive one more tick in their value.

For example upgrade a sword with good engravings at level 29 to 30 and only the tiny amount of weapon damage increases. Upgrade the same sword from level 29 to 31, it will cost the same. Weapon damage increases. And all the engravings native to the weapon increase a tick. The sword has suddenly become much better, and well worth the price paid.

This is not so very interesting with weak engravings. It is very important with the best engravings.

This is a 2 year old thread that was Necroed 2h ago.

@Perplex: Dude, do you not understand that even two years later, folks might still find this post useful, and may even feel it necessary to reply. I never understood why you keyboard warriors feel it necessary to make useless, asinine comments about necroed posts. Do you get something out of it that I'm not aware of? I have a better idea (than the one that pop'd into your noggin) just ignore it and move on with your day. Silly rabbit...

Necro-necroposting. That's a whole new level of necroing!
