You can also upgrade weapons and armor in LastChaos, and from level 1-73 for armor, then level 1-69 for weapons, with the use of Blood Seals. These add bonuses to different abilities such as dexterity, evasion, mana, health, defense, and so on. A weapon has 5 seals and armor carries 3 seals on them. You may pay 1000 gold for the blood seals from Merchant Geres in Randol, also you can buy one of the other merchants in Dratan, and Merac. Blood Seals are used for armor up to level 73 and weapons up to 69.
Upgraded weapons(last chaos gold) and armor get more powerful the higher you plus them. Not only in attack or defense, but at higher levels, other bonuses are granted to the character. Alongside these bonuses, a visual special effect is granted at certain levels. The first of these visual effects appears at +4: a soft white glow for weapons and a small glowing fairy for armor.
Upgrading armor, especially at higher levels(last chaos gold), can be a frustrating task. Failure in upgrading an item can mean the destruction of that item. When an upgrade succeeds, it can make all the risk involved feel worth it for that perfect item.
