Season opening on 4 September ✨
Xnitro Wiki

Item Upgrade System

Raise equipment to +8, improve its existing attributes and unlock two extra Attack or Defense stat slots.

1. Open Item Upgrade

Hold Ctrl and right-click an eligible equipment item, then choose Upgrade Item from the context menu.

  • The item may be in your inventory, an open container or an equipment slot.
  • Only supported equipment types can be upgraded.
  • The module reads the exact item, its current level, rarity, original attributes and available slots.

Ctrl + right-click the item and select Upgrade Item

2. Read the Upgrade Module

The module shows item level, success chance, stones, attributes and locked Free Slots

Equipment Details shows the selected item and its progress from 0 to 8. The three counters show how many Level, Stats and Slot stones you own.

  • Upgrade Level attempts the next item level.
  • Item Enhancements lists attributes already built into the item.
  • The button beside an attribute becomes available when the item's rarity supports another stat level.
  • Free Slot 1 unlocks at +6 and Free Slot 2 unlocks at +8.

3. Item Levels, Chances and Rarity

Every attempt consumes one Upgrade Level stone. A failed roll leaves the item at its current level; it does not destroy or downgrade the item.

+1 to +2

Starting Levels

100% success for both levels. The base rarity remains unchanged.

+3 to +5

First Rarity Step

Success chances are 90%, 80% and 70%. At +3 the item moves one rarity above its original rarity.

+6 to +7

First Free Slot

Success chances are 55% and 40%. At +6 the item gains another rarity step and unlocks Free Slot 1.

+8

Maximum Level

25% success. The item gains its third rarity step and unlocks Free Slot 2.

4. Upgrade Existing Attributes

Rarity controls how far each supported attribute can be enhanced: Rare allows level 1, Epic level 2, Legendary level 3, Mythic level 4 and Nitro level 5. Common items cannot enhance stats until their rarity rises.

  • Press Upgrade beside an existing attribute.
  • Each successful click consumes one Upgrade Stats stone and adds one stat level.
  • Original item attributes do not consume a Free Slot.
  • The available attributes depend on whether the item is a helmet, armor, legs, boots, weapon, shield, accessory, backpack, ship, ammo or strike item.

After reaching the required rarity, the item's existing stats can be enhanced

5. Roll a Free Attribute Slot

Attack and Defense choices for the first free attribute slot at level six
At +6, choose Attack or Defense for the first unlocked slot

When an item reaches +6, Free Slot 1 opens. At +8, Free Slot 2 opens. Choose Attack or Defense and the server rolls a valid stat and value for that item.

  • Rolling or rerolling consumes one Roll Slot stone.
  • The rolled value is based on the item's configured Shell Tier.
  • The same stat cannot occupy both Free Slots.
  • Weapons roll offensive pools; armor pieces roll defensive pools.
  • A reroll replaces the selected slot's previous result.

Upgrade Tips

  • Check the displayed chance before spending a Level stone, especially from +6 onward.
  • Raise rarity first when an attribute button says that a higher rarity is required.
  • Existing attributes and rolled Free Slot attributes are separate: use Upgrade Stats for the first and Roll Slot for the second.
  • Choose the Attack or Defense pool that complements your build before rolling a Free Slot.
  • The item is safe after a failed level attempt, but the used stone is not returned.
