# Equipment Growth

## What is Equipment Growth?

* The equipment you wear accumulates experience points as you defeat monsters. 
* Once you acquire enough experience points, your equipment will automatically level up. 
* The higher the equipment level, the higher its performance. 
* The maximum level is determined by the grade and type of equipment.

## Accumulating Experience Points

* When you equip an item, the corresponding area on the UI becomes active and displays the equipment's experience gauge.
* You can accumulate experience points by hunting monsters, which will cause the gauge to increase.
* When the gauge completely fills, the item's level increases, and the level is displayed on the item's icon.

## Maximum Level

* When equipment reaches its maximum level, it is marked as Max.
* If you replace it with another piece of equipment, the level will be updated accordingly.

## Equipment Awakening

* Even if the level of a particular piece of equipment reaches its maximum, it can be pushed past its limitations through awakening.
* This requires certain materials, and the probability of success depends on the level of awakening.
* This will be updated later.
