Hey there, from your exception build and physique, I can tell you are the best candidate for the journey to the West. But many perils await on your journey across the Three Realms, so you better bring along some powerful weapons and equipment. When you reach Lv.8, the Armament system will be unlocked. You can raise your Power significantly by equipping Armaments and enhancing and refining them.

Let me tell you more about the Armament system.

[Introduction]

1. Every hero has 4 equipment slots and each slot correspond to a different Armament: Weapon (increases ATK), Armor (increases PDEF), Helmet (increases MDEF) and Shoes (increases HP).

2、Armament tier: Mythical > Legendary > Epic > Rare > Superior. Tier affects the power of an Armament. But don't worry, you don't have to remember the color code, because you can simply put on the best equipment for your heroes using the Quick Equip button.

3、Armament effects: Other than Primal, Ancient and Cosmos Armaments which provide four types of extra bonus, the rest basically gives an overall attribute boost.

1、Golden Chests

Mainly purchased using Ingots at the Shop. You can also get it from Daily Quests and Elite Stages. These chests can give you Armaments of any tier, Shards and Armament cultivation resources.

Tip: If you have Ingots to spare early in the game, try your luck by buying 10-20 Golden Chests. You don't have to get a Mythical Equipment, but if you can get a full Epic or Legendary set, it will go a long way at the initial stage.

2、Fairyland + Armament Shop

At Lv.20, you will have access to a PvE tower-climbing game mode called [Fairyland], which mainly gives you Rare Equipment, Equip Essences and Dark Steel.

Once you have collected sufficient Dark Steel and Equip Essences, you can exchange them for more advanced equipment at [Shop - Armament]. (Mythical Equipment cannot be exchanged)

Tip: (1) Early in the game, you can use Dark Steel to buy a set of Rare Equipment to pull you through first. But save up on the Dark Steel! It is a very valuable and hard to get resource! (2) Buy Equip Essences every day because you can only use them to exchange for equipment when you reach higher floors at Fairyland. In other words, start collecting Equip Essences early so you can exchange them for Legendary Equipment in the future once you have the chance.

3、Treasure Hunt

This is a limited-time event. Complete quests or use Ingots or Jadestones to get Soul-catching Nets that give you a chance of obtaining Mythical Equipment, Legendary Cosmos Equipment and shards. There is a guaranteed to get an equipment within 100 draws. This gives you a quick access to high tier equipment.

4、Arena Rewards

The special prize for finishing first in the Arena is Thunder Bow, which can give you a Power boost at the early stage of the game.

Tip: (1) Start early to complete the Power boost for the day. You will have a better chance of overtaking yesterday's number 1. (2) Talk to the number 1 player and ask the player to help you rise through the ranks. Everyone in the game is very friendly, so they will be willing to help!

5、Storyline Adventure

You can only get the shards for the lowest Legendary, Epic and Rare Equipment from the main story quests.

Tip: Don't simply rely on Adventure! If you are just short of a few shards, this is the way to go. Otherwise, don't waste stamina to get equipment shards. It would a waste of effort and stamina.

[Cultivation Suggestions]

1. Equipment enhancement: Use "Silver" to enhance your equipment for a massive boost to its basic attributes. Enhancement is as simply as pressing the Quick Enhance button when you level up.

2. Equipment refinement: Use Refinement Stones to perform equipment refinement to increase its attributes. Equipment Resonance level up once every 10 refinements and will give an extra boost to the basic attributes.

Refinement Stones can be obtained from the Market (buy as much as you can every day), chests (depends on your luck), Armament Shop (buy some after buying all the Equipment Essences), and Daily Instances (clear as much as you can).

Allocate the essences based on the tier of your heroes, Try as much as you can to allocate them evenly to the different equipment for better resonance effects. Don't throw everything to a single piece of equipment.
