# GearScore/Grade System > GearScore is the total score from the equipment the character **is currently wearing**\ > The higher the score, the more it reflects the strength of the item set, and the greater the chance of ranking high on the server *** ## What is GearScore? This system is used to measure the “overall power of the equipped items” that a player is wearing, by calculating weapons, armor, helmets, accessories, cards, and Enchant/Orb together into a final score *** ## Basic calculation principles ### Weapon The basic weapon formula is: ``` ATK + MATK + Grade Score + Weapon Level Score + Refine Score + Card / Enchant Score ``` #### Armor The basic armor formula is: ``` (DEF × 2) + Weight + Grade Score + Armor Level Score + Refine Score + Tier Score + Card / Enchant Score ``` The system also adds bonus points from: * Item Grade * Weapon/Armor Level * Refinement value * Headgear / Accessory Tier * Card Tier * Orb / Enchant Tier ## 1) Grade Score ### Armor Grade | Grade | Score | | ----- | ----- | | D | 500 | | C | 1,250 | | B | 3,400 | | A | 8,500 | ### Weapon Grade | Grade | Score | | ----- | ----- | | D | 200 | | C | 500 | | B | 1,375 | | A | 3,400 | > The higher the Grade, the stronger the score bonus, especially Grade A, which significantly boosts GearScore ## 2) Armor Level / Weapon Level Score ### Armor Level | Armor Level | Score | | ----------- | ----- | | 2 | 3,000 | > The system assigns Armor Level bonus only for Level 2 in the data provided. Armor Level 1 is considered the base value and does not receive any extra bonus in this table ### Weapon Level | Weapon Level | Score | | ------------ | ----- | | 1 | 200 | | 2 | 1,200 | | 3 | 3,500 | | 4 | 8,500 | > High-level weapons have a major impact on the score, especially Weapon Level 4, which gets a very large base bonus *** ## 3) Armor refinement score | Refine | Score | | ------ | ------ | | +1 | 250 | | +2 | 550 | | +3 | 1,200 | | +4 | 2,500 | | +5 | 8,700 | | +6 | 10,450 | | +7 | 12,000 | | +8 | 13,800 | | +9 | 15,850 | | +10 | 19,800 | > The key turning point for armor is the **+5 and above** because the score jumps significantly *** ## 4) Weapon refinement score Weapon refinement points are separated by Weapon Level ### Weapon Level 1 | Refine | Score | | ------ | ----- | | +1 | 50 | | +2 | 115 | | +3 | 240 | | +4 | 500 | | +5 | 1,750 | | +6 | 2,100 | | +7 | 2,400 | | +8 | 2,800 | | +9 | 3,200 | | +10 | 4,000 | ### Weapon Level 2 | Refine | Score | | ------ | ----- | | +1 | 100 | | +2 | 250 | | +3 | 500 | | +4 | 1,000 | | +5 | 3,500 | | +6 | 4,200 | | +7 | 4,800 | | +8 | 5,500 | | +9 | 6,350 | | +10 | 7,900 | ### Weapon Level 3 | Refine | Score | | ------ | ----- | | +1 | 125 | | +2 | 300 | | +3 | 600 | | +4 | 1,250 | | +5 | 4,350 | | +6 | 5,200 | | +7 | 6,000 | | +8 | 6,850 | | +9 | 7,900 | | +10 | 9,900 | ### Weapon Level 4 | Refine | Score | | ------ | ------ | | +1 | 175 | | +2 | 400 | | +3 | 850 | | +4 | 1,750 | | +5 | 6,100 | | +6 | 7,300 | | +7 | 8,400 | | +8 | 9,650 | | +9 | 11,100 | | +10 | 13,900 | > The higher the Weapon Level, the more the refinement score increases as well, with Level 4 weapons showing the clearest effect *** ## 5) Headgear and accessory Tier score ### Headgear Tier | Tier | Score | | ---- | ----- | | 1 | 200 | | 2 | 500 | | 3 | 1,250 | | 4 | 3,500 | ### Accessory Tier | Tier | Score | | ---- | ----- | | 1 | 100 | | 2 | 500 | > Headgear and accessories receive bonus points according to the Tier defined in the item database.\ > If no extra Tier is specified, the system will use the base value according to the structure set in the system *** ## 6) Card score ### Card Tier | Tier | Score | | ---- | ------ | | 1 | 200 | | 2 | 500 | | 3 | 1,250 | | 4 | 3,500 | | 5 | 10,000 | > High-tier cards can boost GearScore greatly, especially Tier 5, which gives up to **10,000 points** per piece *** ## 7) Orb / Enchant score ### Orb / Enchant Tier | Tier | Score | | ---- | ----- | | 1 | 200 | | 2 | 500 | | 3 | 1,250 | > Orbs / Enchants in the Enchant Card group also receive bonus points according to Tier *** ## 8) Which item types get points from what? ### Weapon Weapons get points from: * ATK * MATK * Grade * Weapon Level * Refine * Card * Enchant / Orb ### Armor Armor gets points from: * DEF × 2 * Weight * Grade * Armor Level * Refine * Headgear or accessory Tier * Card * Enchant / Orb ### Headgear Headgear is a type of armor, but it gets additional bonus from **Headgear Tier** ### Accessories Accessories are a type of armor, but they get additional bonus from **Accessory Tier** ### Card Bonus points according to **Card Tier** ### Orb / Enchant Bonus points according to **Orb / Enchant Tier** *** ## 9) Easy-to-understand calculation example ### Weapon example Suppose a weapon has these values: * ATK + MATK = 300 * Grade A = 3,400 * Weapon Level 4 = 8,500 * Refine +10 of Weapon Lv.4 = 13,900 * Equip a Tier 3 card = 1,250 The total score will be: ``` 300 + 3,400 + 8,500 + 13,900 + 1,250 = 27,350 ``` ### Armor example Suppose an armor has these values: * DEF = 50 * Weight = 100 * Base = (50 × 2) + 100 = 200 * Grade B = 3,400 * Armor Level 2 = 3,000 * Refine +8 = 13,800 * Tier 2 card = 500 The total score will be: ``` 200 + 3,400 + 3,000 + 13,800 + 500 = 20,900 ``` > This example uses the actual formula and table from the system's GearScore database *** ## 10) How to quickly raise GearScore If you want to increase your score noticeably, this order is recommended ### Overall priority order 1. Upgrade weapons to a higher Weapon Level 2. Increase weapon refinement 3. Raise the Grade of weapons and armor 4. Use high-tier cards 5. Use high-tier headgear 6. Use high-tier accessories 7. Add high-tier Orb / Enchant *** ## 11) Frequently asked questions ### Q: Does GearScore count only the items currently equipped? Yes, the system calculates from the equipment the character **is currently wearing** is wearing at that time ### Q: Do all cards give the same score? No, it depends on **Card Tier** ### Q: Does Enchant / Orb count too? Yes, if the item is in the **Orb / Enchant Tier** ### Q: Do headgear and accessories matter? Yes, and if they are high-tier items, they can help boost the score very well ### Q: How much does refinement matter? It matters a lot, especially at +5 and above, and it is even more noticeable with high-level weapons and heavily refined armor *** ## 12) Tips for ranking climbers If your goal is to rank on the server's GearScore leaderboard: * Use level 3–4 weapons * Push refinement to the point where the score jumps * Use high-tier cards * Don't overlook headgear and accessories * Choose a set with a high Grade * Use Enchant / Orb completely > Players who manage their equipment best\ > not only deal more damage, but also have a chance to stand on the server's ranking throne *** ## 13) Short summary This server's GearScore system is calculated from: * The basic power of the equipment * Grade * The equipment level * Refinement * Item Tier * Card * Enchant / Orb So if you want to increase GearScore as quickly as possible: * Start with **Weapon** * then continue with **Refine** * supplement with **Cards / Tier / Enchant** then gradually assemble the most complete set --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
