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. You can also upgrade your item by adding Master Stars, which replace the regular stars and give a 5% stat boost in Master Catacombs. They act like regular stars while not in the master catacombs.

Upgrading

 * Upgrades costs can be seen beforehand in the Malik by clicking 'Essence Crafting' then the Redstone Torch, labelled 'Essence Guide' in which can choose the essence category the item is in and then find the item you want to upgrade. The 7 Categories of Essence are: Wither, Undead, Spider, Dragon, Gold, Ice and Diamond.
 * 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.
