Chaos Upgrade Calculator
Pick your chaos item type and start/target levels, then (optional) enter prices for Chaos Cores, Chaos Safeguards, and Upgrade Points so the optimizer can compare costs. Specific safeguards are tied to the item type and usually require higher quantities per attempt; generic safeguards work on any chaos item and always use 1 per attempt. For belts, arcanas, and carnelians, safeguards work from +1 to +14 (no downgrade or destruction), and are disabled from +15 onward with a floor at +15. Earrings, amulets, and bracelets stop at +15; safeguards protect attempts from +1 through +14, and an unsafeguarded failed attempt destroys the item. In the Upgrade Points Cost section, enter the cost for a points amount (e.g., 1,000 points). The optimizer will only recommend upgrade point amounts in multiples of that points amount (1,000, 2,000, 3,000, etc.).
