Editing Weapon upgrading

[[File:Upgrading.jpg|thumb|A player upgrading their [[Rapid Stream]].]]

'''Weapon Upgrading''' (also known as ''Weapon Grinding'') is a service available at the weapon shop where [[weapons]] are upgraded at the cost of meseta. Each weapon can be upgraded a maximum of 10 times with meseta. After the weapon has been upgraded 10 times, an [[Extend Code]] can be used to perform an Extend to strengthen the weapon further. After a weapon has been extended, an [[Extend Code ∞]] can be used to perform an Extend ∞ on the weapon to improve its strength even further.

Weapons' attributes can also be upgraded through a function known as '''Weapon Synthesis'''. This requires extra copies of the weapon and Fusion Codes.

===Upgrade Amount===
Upgrading with Meseta increases the weapon's ATK or TEC by a set value, depending on the weapon type and weapon grade.

The table below lists the amount of ATK or TEC gained per upgrade, and the total gained for going to (10).

===Upgrade Cost===
The cost for upgrading depends entirely on the weapon's rarity. The table below lists the costs for upgrading.

For every upgrade stage, the cost of upgrading increases by 10% of the base cost. (For example, 50, then 55, then 60, and so on)

==Weapon Synthesis==
: ''See also: [[Weapons#Elemental Correction | Elemental Correction]]''

In the Weapon Shop, the Weapon Synthesis option allows fusing up to 10 copies of a weapon into a target weapon of the same name using a [[Trade Items | Fusion Code]] to increase its elemental percentage.

* Rules for percentage increase:
** For each weapon that's a different element than the target weapon (including neutral), target weapon's element increases by 1%.
** For each weapon that is the same element as the target weapon, target weapon's element increases by 2%.
** For each weapon that is the same element as the target weapon, and have at least 30% element, target weapon's element increases by 3%.
** The target weapon's element is capped at 50% when increased using fusion.

* A neutral weapon or a weapon above 50% cannot be used as the target weapon.
* An extended weapon can be used as both the target weapon or the fusion materials.
* 1 fusion code is consumed regardless of how many weapons are used as material.
