In Sword of Justice, gear is the foundation of your character’s combat power. Whether you’re tackling dungeons, joining guild battles, or progressing through story missions, your performance in this RPG largely depends on the quality of your equipment and how well you maintain it.

While the game features several systems that boost power, such as Inner Skills, Willpower, and Martial Arts traits, equipment remains one of the most direct and reliable ways to grow stronger. In this guide, we’ll cover how to acquire, craft, and enhance your gear, along with key tips to help you make the most of every upgrade and material you collect.

Understanding Gear and Combat Power

Every piece of equipment in Sword of Justice contributes to your Combat Power (CP). Weapons, armor, accessories, and boots all provide base stats such as attack, defense, and health. However, what truly sets strong gear apart is the level of enhancement, rarity, and special attributes applied through crafting or socketing.

You can view your current gear rating by opening your character screen and checking the “Rating Boost” option beside your CP. This feature not only shows where you can improve but also lets you compare your stats with other players, which is especially useful if you’re trying to match or surpass top performers in your guild.

As a general rule, consistently upgrading your gear, even with modest enhancements, yields steady and meaningful power gains.

Crafting Equipment Through Heavenly Crafting

One of the most important systems for obtaining and improving gear is Heavenly Crafting, which unlocks around level 60. This feature allows you to create special equipment pieces with different rarity tiers: Gray, Blue, Purple, Red, and Orange. Each tier provides better stats and can unlock unique passive effects, such as increased damage, shields, or utility bonuses depending on your class and role.

Crafting is one of the main ways to obtain and improve your gear.

Heavenly Crafting uses crafting materials and currency called banknotes. Higher-quality crafts require rarer materials, which can be obtained from dungeons, the marketplace, or the trading post. You can even check each item’s “How to Obtain” section to see where specific materials drop, making it easier to plan your farming runs.

If you’re aiming to optimize your build, prioritize crafting pieces that match your class specialization. For example, tanks should look for defense and shield bonuses, while DPS classes should focus on offensive passives. Crafting is partly RNG-based, so expect to refine and reroll a few times before finding the ideal stats for your build.

Enhancing Your Gear

Enhancement is one of the most straightforward ways to increase your combat power. Each enhancement level adds flat stat increases to the corresponding gear slot, and not to the specific gear item. This means your enhancement progress carries over when you replace your gear with a better piece, which eliminates the need to re-upgrade from scratch.

To enhance, you’ll need Jade Stones and banknotes, both of which can be earned through daily missions, the battle pass, or the Windstorm Shop. Higher levels cost more resources, but the power boost is well worth it.

Remember to enhance your gear to get the most out of it.

You can check enhancement requirements and potential stat gains directly in the crafting menu. Prioritize enhancing key gear slots like your weapon and armor first, as these typically provide the largest impact on both offense and defense.

Once your gear slots are fully enhanced, you’ll notice immediate improvements in your combat power; often enough to tackle harder content or meet CP requirements for higher-level dungeons.

Socketing and Upgrading Jades

Each gear piece can also be socketed with Jades, which act as stat gems that enhance specific attributes such as defense, vitality, or attack. Socketing is one of the primary uses of banknotes, so managing this currency carefully is essential.

Focus on socketing Jades that complement your role:

• Tanks: Prioritize Vitality and Defense Jades for higher survivability.
• DPS: Choose Attack, Crit, or Defense Break Jades for consistent damage output.
• Support or Healers: Invest in Healing, Vitality, or Cooldown Reduction Jades for sustained utility.

You can also upgrade Jades using banknotes. Each level boosts the effectiveness of the stat it provides. Like gear enhancement, Jade upgrades are permanent and persist even if you replace the gear they’re socketed into.

Acquiring Gear from Dungeons and Shops

Running dungeons is the most consistent way to obtain new gear. Focus on completing the highest-level dungeon available to your character, as these offer better drop quality and experience rewards.

Don’t neglect Dreamblade Abyss, the weekly dungeon mode that grants additional gear and Willpower materials. The deeper you progress, the better your chances at finding rare items and crafting materials.

You can also purchase gear directly from the Windstorm Shop, which offers discounted equipment boxes tailored to your current level bracket. These boxes are an excellent way to catch up on upgrades quickly, especially if you’ve fallen behind or recently unlocked new level ranges.

Whenever possible, buy the limited weekly Willpower chests as well — these not only assist in long-term progression but also improve your overall stats indirectly by powering up other systems connected to your equipment.

Tips and Tricks for Efficient Gear Progression

Upgrading and maintaining gear in Sword of Justice requires resource management and planning. Since materials like banknotes and ores are limited, investing them wisely will maximize your gains.

Here are a few tips to streamline your gear progression:

• Enhance consistently: Don’t wait to upgrade gear — enhancements apply to slots, so you won’t lose progress.
• Farm daily and weekly content: Dungeons and Dreamblade Abyss provide the best materials for crafting and enhancing.
• Use lucky slips and exemption orders: These items allow extra dungeon rewards beyond your daily limits, speeding up your progression.
• Watch the marketplace: Many crafting materials and ores can be bought or sold between players, letting you fill gaps in your inventory easily.
• Don’t neglect sockets: Fully socketed and upgraded Jades often provide more value than raw stat increases from base gear alone.

Staying consistent with these habits ensures that your equipment keeps pace with your level progression, making it easier to meet CP requirements for tougher activities and boss encounters.

Gear boxes are also a great way to score new pieces of gear.

Gear is the cornerstone of your strength in Sword of Justice. Whether you’re refining crafted equipment, enhancing slots, or optimizing your Jades, every improvement brings you closer to mastering your class and clearing higher-tier challenges.

Focus on upgrading steadily, participating in dungeons, and using your materials wisely. With time, your combat power will rise naturally as each system builds upon the other — from gear and sockets to crafting and enhancement.
