# Gear

1. **What is Gear?**

   * In **Ragnarok Libre**, equipment can be obtained through **crafting**, **field drops**, or **equipment boxes**.
   * There are six types of Gear categorized by their equip slot:
     * [Weapons](/characters/gear/weapons.md)
     * [Armor](/characters/gear/armor.md)
     * [Helmets](/characters/gear/helmets.md)
     * [Manteau](/characters/gear/manteau.md)
     * [Necklaces](/characters/gear/necklaces.md)
     * [Rings](/characters/gear/rings.md)

2. **Types of Gear**
   * There are two categories of gear: Normal Gear and Shadow Gear. Both can be equipped simultaneously.
   * **Normal Gear**
     * Normal Gear enhances your stats and provides various effects.
     * It can be obtained via gear boxes, field drops, or crafting.
     * Normal Gear is divided into ranks from 1 to 5 based on performance.
   * **Shadow Gear**
     * Shadow Gear further enhances your stats and can upgrade certain skills to more powerful versions.
     * It can be obtained via Shadow Boxes or crafting.
     * Shadow Gear is also ranked from 1 to 5.

3. **Gear** [**Crafting**](/game-system/crafting.md)
   * Gear can be crafted using Gems and other Gear.
   * Special materials obtained through Single PvP Rankings and Space of Infinite Rankings can be used to craft unique gear.

4. **Gear Upgrade**
   * **Normal Gear Upgrade**
     * Normal Gear can be upgraded using [Zeny](/economic-system/currencies/zeny.md), Oridecon, Automatic Cylinders, and Cursed Automatic Cylinders.
     * The higher the Gear level, the more materials are required, and the lower the success rate becomes.
     * Cards can be equipped to Gear depending on its level to further enhance performance.
     * Normal Gear can be upgraded up to level 65.
   * **Shadow Gear Upgrade**
     * Shadow Gear can be upgraded using Dark Crystals and Star Crystals.
     * As Gear level increases, more Dark Crystals are required and upgrade success rate decreases.
     * To equip Shadow Cards, you must first remove card options using a Soul Pick.
     * Maximum upgrade level depends on the Gear’s rank.

5. **Gear Transcendence**
   * 5-star ear can be transcended via "[Magic Engineering](/game-system/magic-engineering.md)".
     * Transcendence requires the same type of gear and Concentrated Oridecon.
     * Currently, transcendence is available up to 15 times.
   * Gear level is maintained during transcendence.
     * The used Gear will disappear after transcendence.

6. **Element Enhance**

   * Using "[Magic Engineering](/game-system/magic-engineering.md)", you can enhance Gear with elemental attributes.
   * [Element Stones](/characters/element-stones.md) are required to enhance attributes.
