Introduction to Equipment Progression
Equipment progression is a fundamental aspect of Sipher Odyssey that allows players to enhance their Vessels' combat capabilities. This wiki provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the equipment leveling, refinement, and augment systems to help you maximize your Vessels' potential in battle.
Equipment Basics
Each piece of equipment has several key attributes:
- Level: Determines the equipment's stat values and augment ranks
- Rarity: Affects maximum level, refinement options, and augment potential
- Race Requirement: Determines which Vessels can equip the item
- Tier: Defines the equipment's power level within its rarity
- Primary Stats: Core attributes that increase with levels
- Secondary Stats: Additional attributes that can be refined
Equipment Types & Loadout Requirements
A complete Vessel loadout consists of:
- Weapons: 1 Ranged & 1 Melee
- Armor: Chest, Head, Hand, Leg, and Foot gear
Different equipment types have varying progression patterns:
- Weapons & Chest Gear: 3 augment slots with upgrades at specific levels
- Legs, Feet, Head & Hands Gear: 2 augment slots with upgrades at specific levels
- Trinkets: Can be leveled but augments do not gain new ranks
Equipment Leveling System
Level Up Process
To level up equipment:
- Access your Inventory and select the equipment
- Choose "Level Up Equipment" option
- Spend required Soft Currency & Chips
- Confirm the level up
Resource Requirements
Equipment leveling requires:
- Bytes (Soft Currency): Primary resource
- Chips: Specialized resource for equipment leveling
- Obtained from salvaging equipment/parts
- Occasionally dropped in dungeons
- Awarded from missions and events
Maximum Levels by Rarity
Rarity | Weapons & Chest | Other Gear |
Common | 10 | 5 |
Uncommon | 15 | 10 |
Rare | 20 | 15 |
Epic | 30 | 20 |
Legendary | 45 | 30 |
Mythic | 60 | 40 |
Stat Increases
When equipment levels up:
- Only Primary Stats increase (calculated by formula)
- Stat increase per level = (Max Stat - Min Stat) / (Max Level - 1)
- Secondary Stats remain unchanged throughout leveling
Augment Upgrade System
At specific levels, equipment augments upgrade to higher ranks, increasing their effectiveness.
Weapons & Chest Gear Augment Schedule
Equipment Level | Slot to Upgrade | New Slot Rank |
5 | 1 | 2 |
10 | 2 | 2 |
15 | 3 | 2 |
20 | 1 | 3 |
25 | 2 | 3 |
30 | 3 | 3 |
35 | 1 | 4 |
40 | 2 | 4 |
45 | 3 | 4 |
50 | 1 | 5 |
55 | 2 | 5 |
60 | 3 | 5 |
Other Gear Augment Schedule
Equipment Level | Slot to Upgrade | New Slot Rank |
5 | 1 | 2 |
10 | 2 | 2 |
15 | 1 | 3 |
20 | 2 | 3 |
25 | 1 | 4 |
30 | 2 | 4 |
35 | 1 | 5 |
40 | 2 | 5 |
Equipment Refinement System
Refinement allows players to re-roll Secondary Stats on their equipment.
Refinement Mechanics
- Only Secondary Stats can be re-rolled
- Primary Stats are fixed and cannot be changed
- Maximum refinable stat lines vary by rarity:
- Common/Uncommon: No refinement
- Rare/Epic: 1 line
- Legendary/Mythic: 2 lines
Resource Requirements
Refinement requires:
- Bytes (Soft Currency)
- Special Material (increases with each re-roll)
- Re-roll costs increase with each attempt on the same equipment
Refinement Rules
- New stats will never duplicate existing equipment stats
- New stats will never match the previous stat being replaced
- For NFT Vessels, re-roll count resets when transferred to a new account
Augment Replacement System
Players can swap augments on their equipment to customize their build.
Replacement Process
- Access the Augment Replacement screen in the Armory
- Select the augment to be replaced
- Choose from randomly generated options (3 by default)
- Confirm replacement or keep original augment
Resource Requirements
Augment replacement requires:
- Bytes (Soft Currency)
- Special Material (matching the equipment tier)
- Equipment Part (same type, tier & rarity)
- Costs increase with each replacement on the same equipment
Replacement Rules
- Maximum replaceable augment slots are configurable (default: 1)
