Upgrading gears

 * See the main article for more information about gear quality.

The player can spend gold to upgrade their preferred gear to the next quality level. The amount of gold is a proportion of the gear's price in the Shop, rounded down to the tens: Gears can only be upgraded once, unless the player has bought the Advanced Forge upgrade from The Collector.

Rerolling Modifiers
Rerolling (referred as "Reforging" in-game) lets the chosen gear have new Modifiers. The new Modifiers are chosen randomly and will replace old ones. The player can reroll as many times as they want, as long as they can afford it. In case of legendary quality items, the star affix on them gets swapped with another of its kind while still having the possibility to get a second one.

The cost of rerolling Modifiers is:
 * (Gear's price)*(Reroll multiplier) Gold Currency Icon.png, rounded down to the tens.


 * Gear's price is the sum of gear's base price and 100*(Gear level - 1). This gear's price is different from the Shop's.
 * Reroll multiplier is a number that increases with each reroll. It scales different with each quality. These are the approximate of the first 30 rerolls multipliers for each gear quality:
