How to Upgrade Swords in Verse Piece
You can upgrade your swords in Verse Piece by interacting with the Blacksmith NPC on the Blacksmith Isle. However, each upgrade costs you one Enhance Stone, and there is only a 10% chance of it being successful. So, on average, you will need 50 Enhance Stones to max out a sword.
How to Get Enhance Stones
The best way to farm Enhance Stones in Verse Piece is to start fishing. Alternatively, you can trade for Enhance Stones, get them from chests, or mine them. Chests are dropped by Bosses found around the map and in dungeons. The best method for farming chests is grinding Boss Rush dungeons. Each Boss Rush dungeon contains five Bosses, and all of them drop one to two chests when you defeat them.
I hope the above tier list helps you focus your grind on the best swords in Verse Piece. If you want to find out how to really max out your build, then check out our Verse Piece abilities and trait passive guides.
