Equipment Basics (2)

Learn advanced equipment basics in Tales of Berseria Remastered, including mastering skills, understanding random skills, enhancing gear with materials and gald, and utilizing titles.

Tales of Berseria covers the basics of equipment, including skills and enhancements, but this guide offers advanced information on those features, as well as the basics of equipment in easy-to-understand terms.

Master Skills

All equipment, from weapons and accessories to armor and shoes, comes with a fixed skill that can be permanently learned by your allies. To learn a skill, the character must be equipped with the item at the end of a battle for the battle grade to apply to the overall "cost" of learning a skill. Once mastered, the benefit from the skill will apply to your character even when the equipment isn't equipped and is doubled when the equipment is equipped.

For example: If you want to master the Attack +15 on Velvet's Unnamed Blade, she must have the blade equipped at the end of battle. The grade earned in that battle, let's say 38 grade, will be added to your current progress on the Unnamed Blade (38 out of 900). Once you've earned a total of 900 grade through combat, the skill will be mastered and the character will gain Attack +15 when the Unnamed Blade isn't equipped and Attack +30 when it is.

Random Skills

Random Skills are similar to Master Skills, but can't be learned and are randomly generated on a piece of equipment when you obtain it. Additionally, unlike Master Skills, a piece of equipment can have more than one random skill provided you've gained the potentites that unlock this.

Enhancements

After unlocking the ability to enhance gear through upgrading or dismantling, you'll be able to increase the base stats of your weapons and equipment by visiting any store. Upgrading your equipment requires a certain number of fragments (based on rarity) and equipment type, plus gald for each upgrade. Dismantling gear provides you with upgrade materials at no gald cost.

The following is a list of the materials and gald requirement for each upgrade:

The following is a list of the materials gained for dismantling equipment at each level:

In addition, you can also gain "fluid" type materials based on the random skills attached to each piece of equipment, the number of random skills for each type of fluid, and the rank of the random skill. For example: If you have 2 "Rank 1" random skills you will obtain 2 Balmy Fluid. If you have a "Rank 1" random skill and a "Rank 3" random skill, you'll obtain a Balmy Fluid and a Pungent Fluid.

Titles

Titles are a unique piece of "equipment" that you can equip to give additional effects to your characters. Each character has their own unique titles that they can earn by meeting certain conditions and each title can be ranked up by meeting addition conditions, usually with the same type of criteria. For example, if a title is earned by stunning 50 enemies, the next rank up for that title will also be for stunning enemies (500).
