In most MMOs the cost to upgrade a piece of gear does not increase linearly; instead it follows an exponential progression where each successive level requires a higher amount of inβgame currency or resources.
Similarly, the statistical benefit (such as attack power or defense) gained from each upgrade usually scales with its own multiplier, meaning the first few upgrades may feel modest while later ones provide diminishing returns relative to their cost.
By comparing the total accumulated cost against the total accumulated stat gain, players can determine the most efficient upgrade path. The ratio of cost to stat gain is a key metric for budgeting resources in longβterm progression.
