Cabal Online Force Core and Upgrade Core Guide
In Cabal Online Upgrade Cores are items used to upgrade or enhance your items attributes. it adds +’s to your items. in armor it adds defence and defence rate(evation) and in weapons it adds attack, attack rate(accuracy), and magic(magic attack) using an upgrade core also increases the stat requirement of your item so be careful. +1 to +3 is safe it will not fail (upgrading can fail) if you fail to upgrade to +4 it will stay at +3 if you fail to upgrade to +5 it will go back to +4 basicaly if you fail to upgrade to +4 to +6 you will get a -1 upgrade on your item i.e if i have a +5 item and i want to upgrade it to +6 and i failed it will go back to a +4 (-1 upgrade) but if you have a +6 item and you want to upgrade it to a +7 if you fail it will go back down to a +0 *sob*. +9 is the highest upgrade you can have. failing to upgrade to +8 or +9 will break/destroy your item. if your not filthy rich stick with a +5 or +6.
Now how to upgrade:
First have your upgrading core in your inventory and the item you want to upgrade(if your wearing the item you want to upgrade. take it off)
next right click on the upgrade core

Your mouse curser will change its apperance. Now move your curser over to the item you want to upgrade.
Now notice the before and after stats of your item notice that the stat requirement will also change when you upgrade.

Now simply click to upgrade.
This message will appear click ok to continue upgrade

If succesful a message will appear on the upper part of your screen

There you go you have upgraded your item

Force Cores: Force cores are different from upgrade cores. they are used on slotted items (slotted items are items with a little blue box) and they add a special upgrade i.e +50hp or +10% critical damage. to upgrade using Force Cores go to the Core Alchemist anc click upgrade.
The item slot is where you put your slotted item you want to upgrade. the core slot is where you put your Force cores(you can put up to 3 cores) the catalyst is where you put another slotted item which determins your special upgrade. when you dont have a catalyst your upgrade will be completely random.
When you put 2 force core in the core slot you will have a 25% chance of having a level 2 upgrade. if your aiming for a level 2 upgrade dont bother putting a catalyst. level 2 upgrades are RANDOM. catalyst only determins level 1 upgrades (refer to the chart below for what catalyst gives specific upgrades)

With a catalys you will recive a specific upgrade. for my example i will be using a helm. acording to the chart if i use boots for my catalyst my helm will recive Defence rating UP +50(note: your catalyst should also be slotted)

Now Using 3 Force Cores: using a third force core only increces the success rate of your upgrade (yes it can fail) a third core dose not affect what upgrade you will have. you can also use an upgrade core for your third core.


The Force Core special enhancment chart. refer to this chart to know which catalyst you want to use on your level 1 upgrade. level 2 upgrades are RANDOM when you put 2 force cores. slotted items with amp upgrades are droped by boss monsters or from dungeon chests. Note: not all slotted items can have the same upgrade. weapons cannot have a +50hp gloves cannot have a +10 %critical damage etc. refer to the chart

Also. Enhancements on Two handed weapons i.e Great Swords and Daikatanas will recive double the upgrade of one handead weapons i.e two handead swords will recive +20% crit damege,+14% skill amp etc. because two heanded weapons will occuple both left and right weapon slots in your equipments. while one heandead weapons i.e blades, katanas, crystals and orbs will recive half. i.e one heanded weapons will get +10% crit damag, +7%skill amp etc. because you can equip one of each in your equipments slots i.e you can equip two blades with 7%skill amp each which will end up giving you 14%skill amp the same as the two handead weapons… gets?
