Use the Upgrade Altar
The altar enhances equipment you already own. Select a non-stackable equipped or inventory item, inspect a compatible upgrade, and review the cost before applying it. Equipment transformations and custom effect upgrades are separate choices in the same station.
- Choose the actual item
Select the worn or backpack item you intend to enhance. The available effects depend on its equipment slot.
- Inspect the effect
Read the trigger and benefit. A chance on a successful hit is different from a constant damage boost or a killing-hit effect.
- Apply only after checking
The materials are consumed and the effect is attached to that item. The same effect cannot be installed twice on one item. Plan your three upgrade slots before spending.

Base custom-effect costs
| Next item slot | Lesser Sigils | Obsidian Catalysts |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 25 | 1 |
| 2 | 50 | 2 |
| 3 | 75 | 3 |
Transformations have their own material costs. The altar's live preview is the final cost for the action you select.
