Upgrade order[edit | edit source]
The purpose of these recommendations is to provide a general order of the most effective unlocks to work towards to optimise PvM activities. This assumes that the player is at a starting point of around tier 70 equipment and skills. Priorities can vary depending on the particular content being done by the player.
You should feel free to buy items that are stated as less important in the upgrade order depending on your budget, such as buying laceration boots which cost 637,085 before the Zaros godsword, which currently costs 423,871,335. For upgrades where there is a choice between different items to choose from.
You should note that when you upgrade weapons, you can sell the weapon being upgraded to deduct cost from the new weapon. For example, once you are ready to obtain a Seren godbow you can sell your Noxious longbow.
