Looking for an upgrade? Check out our guide on how to hone gear and when to stop honing gear in Lost Ark.
Lost Ark features a plethora of weapons and crafting materials as you explore Arkesia. As soon as you hit level 50, you will wonder what next. With great enemies, come greater weapons. Through gear honing, you can increase the item level for each of your weapons. But there are some prerequisites to hone your gear. Not to worry, here’s our guide on how to hone gear and when to stop honing gear in Lost Ark.
Mentioned below are all the honing materials required for certain tiers:
There are also special items like Star’s breath (tier 1) that increase the success rate for the gear honing. For tier 2, the special items include Moon’s Breath. To increase the success rate for tier 3, items like Solar Grace, Solar Blessing, and Solar Protection work out. These can be obtained from completing Cube, purchasing from Mari’s shop, the auction house, completing chaos gates, events, and more. In addition to these methods, you can increase the success rate by getting the Tailoring books. You can get them by completing the Abyssal Dungeons or auction house.

You can stop honing or upgrading your gear once your item level reaches Tier 2 (above iLvl 600). That’s because it will unlock the Yorn questline. As you complete Chaos dungeons, your chances of getting gear above iLvl 802 also increase.
We suggest stopping for a while before your gear reaches iLvl above 1100. This will unlock the Punika questline. So, take your time and grind on a certain tier for a while before you upgrade or hone your gear further.
