The earlier upgrades require investing Gold and a few easy-to-acquire items, such as a rabbit pelts. However, as you get mid- to late gear, you need higher-quality materials to upgrade some of the best weapons and armor.
TheSilver Crownis a rare resource that lets you enhance most of the higher-end gear items. These gear items already have better defense and attack stats, but you may always enhance them if you have upgrade materials like thesilver crown.
