6★ gear arrives: drops, upgrade costs and stats

What happened

Update 0.61 added 6★ gear alongside longer boss stages. It drops from the relic bosses (Ulgorim, Althar and Sakiel) and upgrades to +20 like 5★ gear.

Our take

6★ is a flat third better than 5★, and stage 20 is where to farm it.

Where it drops

Each relic boss run drops 2 pieces of gear. The chances per piece:

Stage	Energy	6★	6★ Legendary	Energy per 6★
13	16	1%	0.04%	800
14	16	2%	0.08%	400
15	16	3%	0.12%	267
16	16	4%	0.20%	200
17	20	5%	0.25%	200
18	20	6%	0.30%	167
19	20	7%	0.35%	143
20	20	10%	0.50%	100

• Stage 20 is a different league. Every piece is 5★ (90%) or 6★ (10%), and a 6★ takes half the Energy it does on stages 16–17. That’s a 19% chance of at least one 6★ per run.
• 6★ Legendary at stage 20: 1 in 200 pieces, about 2,000 Energy on average.
• Energy figures are long-run averages, not a promise for any one run.

How it compares with 5★

Main stat at +20 (every slot and stat is +33%):

Main stat	5★	6★
Weapon ATK	188	250
Shield DEF	188	250
Helmet HP	1,880	2,500
ATK%, DEF% or HP%	22.5%	30%
Crit Rate (Gauntlets)	22.5%	30%
Crit DMG (Gauntlets)	30%	40%
ACC or RES (Chestplate)	150	200
Speed, Mana Gen or Instinct	75	100

Substats roll about a third higher too. A substat that gets all four upgrades at top quality reaches:

Substat (Weapon)	5★	6★
ATK%	18.8%	25%
Crit Rate	22.5%	30%
Crit DMG	26.3%	35%
ACC or RES	120	160

Rarity sets how many substats a piece starts with: Legendary 4, Epic 3, Rare 2. A Legendary’s four milestone upgrades (+5, +10, +15, +20) all go into existing substats.

What it costs

To +20	5★ Gold	6★ Gold	5★ Memorium	6★ Memorium
Rare	1,291,690	1,797,110	3,520	6,600
Epic	1,446,670	2,012,760	3,520	6,600
Legendary	1,678,140	2,334,830	3,520	6,600

• About 39% more Gold and 88% more Memorium for 33% more stats.
• Selling: a 6★ Legendary sells for 138,000 Gold (5★: 71,000). Dismantling any 6★ gives 250 Memorium (5★: 125).
