Equipment items are used to improve your Commander's bonuses. Different equipment will give you different economic and military bonuses. The equipment items can be upgraded if you have enough items of the same kind and the necessary amount of Cash. You can find equipment chests when fighting, gathering, completing events or in the store.
After you obtain a Chest, it will go into the Storage under the My Items > Chests tab. Once you open an Equipment chest, the items will go to the Player Profile > Equipment inventory. If the chest appears to be empty, try to scroll up and down the window and you will be able to see its contents.
There are six types of equipment, namely:
Helmet
Body Armor
Weapon
Pants
Boots
Accessories
Equipment level-up
Equipment items can be upgraded. In order to upgrade an item, a player needs a certain amount of duplicate equipment items, enough to fill up an upgrade meter. The amount of equipment needed to upgrade your items increases exponentially from level to level. Aside from equipment items, Cash is also needed. The amount of Cash differs depending on the type of equipment being upgraded, as well as on its level.
Upgrading equipment takes time, just as any other upgrade. Only one upgrade can be done at a time. The maximum level you can upgrade your equipment to is 6.
