Elemental Upgrade Guide

Guide to elemental upgrades: advantages, damage bonuses, upgrading steps, materials, pity system, and changing elements on gear.

Important Information Before Upgrading

⚠️ Tip: Sometimes the element icons show the disadvantage first. A down arrow means reduced damage, an up arrow means increased damage.

Monsters have +30% resistance to one element (taking less damage) and -30% resistance to the opposing element (taking more damage).
Having the advantageous element on your weapon (e.g., +1 Water against a Fire monster) grants:
+30% damage due to enemy’s negative resistance.
Additional % attack power from the upgrade itself.
In short, aim for at least +1 elemental advantage for:
~7% attack boost
~30% damage boost

as long as the weapon’s element matches the skill’s element.

Each +1 elemental level on your weapon increases or decreases your attack power for auto-attacks.
Each +1 elemental level on your suit increases or decreases your defense.

To upgrade your weapon or armor with an element:

From +4 upgrade onward, you need a Scroll of SProtect (Cash Shop) or Low Scroll of SProtect (from Violets) to prevent item breakage.

Flyff Universe uses an Upgrade Pity System for weapons, armor, accessories, piercing, and elemental upgrades.
The idea: with each failed attempt, the chance of success increases, reducing extreme variance in outcomes.
The math is based on a Markov chain: e.g. if base chance is 2%, it might start at 0.062% and increase by 0.062% per failed attempt.
The number of failed attempts is tied to the item, not the player. So when trading items, the fail-count carries over.
You can see the current number of failed attempts on the item tooltip.
