### Enhancement Beyond Maximum

Since April 2023 many items received a new enhancement stage above their maximum stage.

These are called Mastery Upgrades.

This process can be done utilizing the Mastery Order Stones which are accessible in the Rebirth Shop.

### Mastery Set

Enhancing the lv 80-Armor set creates a new Gear set that is not class bound. This gear set has special properties, as it provides better stats than the corresponding item sets 5 level above this Gear.

The Mastery Armor set can currently be enhanced to +2, providing stats better than the lv 99 armor

The Rebirth Shop also sells Legendary Weapon and Hat pieces, which share the same properties as the Mastery Gear
