How the Upgrade System Works

The main idea behind weapon upgrades here is to take apart weapons that you don't need and use them to upgrade the weapon you are using. Each additional weapon you acquire doesn't need to remain in your inventory idle; it can be disassembled and used to upgrade your primary weapon. Because of this, farming weapons as often as you can is key, since more drops means more material to work with.

Best Sources for Upgrade Material

This is best done with elite enemies and bosses. They always drop better weapons than normal enemies, so they are worth farming for. Standard mobs will still drop something, but elites and bosses will drop a lot more.

Special Bosses and Gold Crystals

Extra bosses that require Gold Crystals to summon are worth the effort as well. These fights will often drop rare gear, although they require more setup, the rewards are often greater than regular enemies.

Putting It All Together

Regularly farming these harder enemies and disassembling anything you don't need will gradually increase your arsenal. This is the whole strategy, to keep this cycle going.
