Whether you're new to the game or a seasoned veteran, here's how to effectively navigate and optimise your gear.

Gear Overview

Powering your journeyGear in Blade & Soul Neo - from weapons to insignia - powers your combat prowess. Progression depends on upgrading items with materials, RNG-based enhancements, and strategic stat choices, all accessible through dungeons, crafting, and merchants.

Weapons: Evolution and stats

Weapon Tiers

Basic form: Obtained from dungeon drops or crafted via the Transmutation menu using basic resources (e.g. brin).Awakened Form: Upgraded with transformation stones, increasing attack power and stats.True Form: The final stage, requiring rarer mats and maximising power and effects.

Upgrade System

RNG-based: Each upgrade has a chance (e.g. 30% success, 70% failure). Failure stacks up "pity" points, increasing the odds up to 100% success.Stat lines: Two random stats (e.g. Critical Strength, Evasion). Prioritise:Critical rate: Target 50-55% (2,500-3,000 points) due to diminishing returns.Critical damage: Boosts critical power, key for DPS.Piercing: Ignores defence, vital against high defence foes late in the game.Accuracy: Ensures hits land, less critical early on.

Slots

Soul Core: Drops from heroic bosses (e.g. Black Ram). Adds a skill (e.g. boss attack) via hotkey. Re-rolls stats with Soul Core crystals.Mantra slots: 2-3 slots for small stat stones (e.g. +health regeneration). Effects are small and optional.

Strategy

Focus on attack power and crit stats. Soul Cores add flair, but their minor stat lines (e.g. +6 accuracy) are secondary.

Soul Shields: Defence and Bonuses

Mechanics

Stats: HP + two random lines (e.g. Critical Damage, Defence). Critical damage is top priority - no primers for it.Set bonuses: Equip 3, 5 or 8 items from the same set for buffs (e.g. +HP or crit chance).Enhancement: Fuse duplicates to increase matching stats (e.g. HP or Defence) using wood fragments and silver.Primers: Add a third stat (e.g. Accuracy, Piercing) via the Soul Warden crafting trades. The maximum base stats (62) can be exceeded with primers.

Strategy

Hunt Soul Shields with base critical damage, then fuse for HP. Use Primers to fill Accuracy/Piercing gaps.

Accessories: Skill customisation

Skill Evolution

Base → Awakened → True Forms via Transformation Stones, increasing stats such as Critical or Piercing.

Skill Slots

Skill Books: Equip to modify abilities (e.g. Angle Biter on F-key). Books drop from dungeons or vendors.Flexibility: Post-patch, slot skills into any accessory after initial set up.Mastery: Stack identical books for +damage or cooldown reduction (e.g. -1s at Mastery 4, -2s at 12).

Strategy

Tailor skills to your play style (e.g. cooldowns for spammy moves) and evolve for stat boosts.

Enhancement Systems

Augments (Mental)

Add two random minor stats to your gear (e.g. +HP). Choose between pre-roll and post-roll options at the market.

Soul Badges

Source: Dismantle regional outfits (e.g. Cinderlands) for fragments, trade with vendors.Effect: Increases the damage of a skill (e.g. +45% Fatal Blade) + random stat (Accuracy, Piercing, Crit). Reroll with fragments.Upgrade: Max +10, improves stats (e.g. +3 to +6 Critical Strike).

Strategy

Prioritise soul badges for damage, mystic for utility and gallery for crit buffs. Augments/mantras are low priority extras.
