-  * All equipment items have a recipe.
+  * Upgrades are done by the [[:npcs:blacksmith|Blacksmith]].
   * [[:mechanics:item_rarity|Item rarities]] influence both the quantity and quality of possible upgrades.
+  * Each upgradable item has these possible components:
+    * Rarity
+    * List of base stats
+    * List of active/passive skills
+    * Material list (or recipe)
+  * Not all skills are unlocked at base level.
+  * Gear upgrades will gradually unlock the skills for a given item and also improve base stats.
+  * Items of differing rarities will have a different max gear level (e.g. level 5).
+  * Base stats are upgraded at every level.
+  * Skills are unlocked at specific levels.
+  * Some skills are not active until its appropriate task is completed (kill 10 enemies).
+  * In order to upgrade, the recipe is used as the cost to upgrade.
+  * The cost increases subsequently after each upgrade.
+  * Skills have an associated material with them, which is factored in to the cost when upgrading.
