How to Use This Calculator
This tool is designed to help you make data-driven decisions:
- Upgrade Simulator: Enter the current market price of the "fodder" gear (the item you consume) and the base success chance. The calculator will show you the average cost to succeed, factoring in the probability of failure. It also calculates the "Pity Cost"—the maximum amount you'd spend if you fail enough times to fill the Blessing bar.
- Market Arbitrage: Sometimes, buying a Trait Unlock Stone is cheaper than gambling with multiple pieces of gear. Use the comparison tool to check which method offers the best value per success.
Tips for Efficient Trait Leveling
- Check the Auction House: Prices fluctuate daily. Use this tool before every major upgrade session to ensure you aren't overpaying.
- Save Your Blessings: Don't waste high Blessing points on cheap traits. Save your accumulated failure points (Blessing) for expensive or rare traits where the cost of failure is high.
- Trait Reselling: If you find cheap gear with popular traits, you can sometimes upgrade them and resell for a profit. Use the calculator to estimate your profit margins.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when a trait upgrade fails?
When an upgrade fails, you do not lose your main item. You only lose the material item (fodder) and the currency cost. However, you gain "Blessing" points which increase your success chance for future attempts or can be used to guarantee a success once the bar is full.
Can I transfer traits between items?
Yes, Throne and Liberty allows you to transfer traits to new gear, meaning your investment in leveling a trait isn't lost when you find a better base item.
Is it better to buy Traits or Stones?
It depends on the market price. Generally, if the Trait Stone costs less than (Gear Price / Success Chance), the Stone is a better deal. Our "Market Arbitrage" tool above calculates this for you instantly.
