Jewelry Upgrade Guide

Guide to upgrading jewelry up to +20: requirements, materials, protection items, upgrade process, and pity system explained.

General Information

You can upgrade each piece of jewelry up to level 20.
Each upgrade level has its own minimum required character level to equip.
Jewelry dropped by Clockworks or Meteonyker cannot be upgraded.
Jewelry produced by the Lifestyle System cannot be upgraded either.
Ultimate Jewelry is a different type of upgrade, so there is a separate guide here.

Visit one of the upgrade NPCs for example Boboko, the NPC in Central Flarine.
Open the NPC Menu and click on Upgrade. Jewelry can be upgraded in the General Upgrade tab.
You need one of two Power Dice:
Power Dice 8 — obtainable by monster drops from level 21+
Power Dice 10 — dropped by dungeon monsters, giants or bosses (higher success rate)
Starting from upgrade level +4, you must also use a Scroll of AProtect to prevent item breakage if the upgrade fails.

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.
