The Equipment Tab in the Arsenal opens at Level 65. It allows you to upgrade your troops gear for all troops of a type (Army, Navy, or Air Force). To be able to manufacture any equipment you need blueprints. Blue prints are available in various events including Pioneer Trail and the Alliance Transport Event.
There are five categories of equipment in the Craft Equipment page.
- Bombs. This improves the effectiveness of your attacks, providing ATK bonus, HP bonus and Crit. Rate bonus, depending on the rarity.
- Shields. Provides an HP bonus and a starting shield similar to Bradley at the beginning of an attack.
- Engines. Engines provide HP and ATK bonuses as well as Dodge at higher rarities.
- Sensors. These upgrades provide ATK and HP bonuses, and Hit bonuses at higher rarities.
- Electronics. This provides HP and Attack bonuses as well as a special bonus, depending on the specific equipment.
Each category of equipment is split into five different rarities. The rarities are designated by color. White is Very Common, Green is Common, Blue is Uncommon, Purple is Rare and Gold is Super Rare. Each rarity may have a blueprint available for each troop type.
Once you have a Blueprint, you can begin to create materials to build your equipment. Select your Equipment type and see which three of the seven materials you need to produce to be able to Craft your equipment, and how much of each material. The types of materials are:
- Steel
- Screws
- Transistor
- Rubber
- Tungsten
- Batteries
- Glass
The types of material are also divided into five quality grades, again divided by the same colors, with White being Very Common and Gold being Super Rare. You can use four White Very Common materials to merge into one Green Common material, and so on up the scale merging at a rate of four to one.
On the Produce materials page, you can choose one type of material to produce at the Common grade. Each time it produces 10 pieces in roughly 2.5 hours. There are also four additional slots for the "next in line" to manufacture. This allows you to line up 5 materials and not have to check again for over twelve hours. You cannot Produce materials at any grade other than White Common, however you can purchase Blue Uncommon materials in the SVS Store.
Once you've choses your Blueprint and started to produce the materials you need to wait for them to complete and merge to the appropriate level. For a White Blueprint, this means there is no merging required.
