Equipment Progression
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
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
Other Gear Augment Schedule
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)
