Star Upgrades

In the Dungeons Update, a new way to upgrade weapons or armour was added, named Star Upgrades, also known as Essence Crafting. In exchange for Essence, a player could add 1 star to a Dungeon Item, which would give a 10% buff of the Item's current stats but only in dungeons. The buff can be seen in grey brackets next to the corresponding stat on the item. An item can have a maximum of 5 stars, giving a 50% stat increase in Dungeons. This can be further increased to 10 stars, for a total boost of 100%. However, These extra stars are only effective in Master Mode Catacombs. Upgrades costs can be seen beforehand in the Malik by clicking 'Essence Crafting' then the Redstone Torch, labelled 'Essence Guide' in which can choose which essence category the item is in and then find the item you want to upgrade; the item you want to upgrade usually has a connection with the item, for example, wither essence is used to upgrade Wither Armor, hence it having 'Wither' tied in. Another example could be diamond essence used to upgrade Perfect Armor, as it is crafted out of diamonds.
