Grade

Grade of Equipment

Each piece of Equipment has a grade. The lowest grade of items is Etc. Each grade beyond Etc has the stat equivalent of an Etc grade item 5 levels higher than the previous grade. There are 5 possible grades above Etc as represented on this table:

Grade	Level of Equivalent Etc. Item
Etc.	+0
Ordinary	+5
Supernus	+10
Eximius	+15
Rare	+20
Carus	+25

For Example: An Ordinary grade Dull Claw is equivalent to an Etc grade Fides Claw.

Most equipment is available in two grades. An Etc grade version and a higher grade version such as Ordinary or Supernus. Some equipment, such as equipment looted from certain dungeon bosses, is only available in the higher grade and has no Etc grade counterpart.

Grades higher than Etc have a couple features that set them apart:

• Only the grades higher than Etc can be Compounded.
• Only the grades higher than Etc are eligible to contribute to "Set Bonuses" from Equipment Sets of the same type.

Grade of Xeons

Basic and Compound Xeons also have a grade. The grade of a xeon serves as an indication of what grade of equipment it's intended to be used on. A Supernus Basic Xeon, for example, is used to compound and reinforce Supernus grade equipment.
