Normal Upgrade


  • The most basic type of upgrade in Cabal is Normal Upgrade, it started with maximum limit at +7 then +12 then +15 and now it’s capped at +20.
  • Target of Normal Upgrade:
    • Normal Upgrade can be performed on all kind of weapons, armor pieces and bikes. Different item grades consume different grade of core and give different amount of stats; however, the success rate is the same for all.
    • Example:
      • Weapon: Lapis Orb / Lycanus’ Chakram / Demonite Crystal / Mithril Greatsword…
      • Armor pieces: Drei-frame Suit (DM) / Bluestin Coat (FA) / Dragonium Plate (WA)…
      • Bike: Astral Bike – Type: Blue, Astral Bike – Type: RW3 Crystal, Astral Bike: Type – QW7…
  • If the items reach +15, there is a special effect of glowing on your items.
  • By Episode 35, there are some changes affected the Normal Upgrade which are for: Success Rate, Available Results, Required Amount of Core. This post is subjected to update with those related contents.
  • UI for the Normal Upgrade is almost the same with Chaos / Divine Upgrade. However, we have some small differences. Let’s go through the full UI all over:
    • [1] Item Name will be shown here based on the item player registered into the Upgrade UI.
    • [2] Image of the registered item.
    • [3] Core selection area, here player can select the type of core that player wants to use, depends on various factors, list of available core types for selection can be different. Example factors such as:
      • Item Grade will decide the Core Grade; for example: SIG-Metal needs High Grade cores.
      • Current grade of item normal upgrade; for example: at +19, player cannot use Superior Core.
    • [4] Safeguard selection area allows player to decide if safeguard should be able to apply for protecting the item upgrade level in case of failure or not.
    • [5] Upgrade Point information shows the current amount of Upgrade Point which player can obtain from failure of upgrade, along with the expiration time. Format of display: x (hh:mm) for example 2,100 (23:09) to represent that your character has 2,100 upgrade point and that point will be expired at 23:09.
    • [6] Success Rate will be displayed in 2 numbers
      • White colour is the base success rate, based on the item upgrade level and selected core type.
      • Green colour is the bonus success rate, based on the Upgrade Point if Upgrade Point is available.
    • [7] Available results / final result:
      • Before the upgrade, the icons with pink border represent for available results.
