Blue Protocol Star Resonance Gear Progression
How to Get Gear in Blue Protocol Star Resonance?
Most of your gear will come from dungeons and raids. You can access these from the Resource Facility on the map or by pressing I to open the Party Finder. The game currently features six main dungeons, and you’ll be farming these throughout your journey.
Dungeon Types and Gear Drops
There are two main dungeon types you need to know about:
- Unstable Dungeon: Drops basic beginner gear; good for starters but not ideal for progression
- Main Dungeons: Drop higher-quality gear with specific armor or accessory pieces
Each dungeon specializes in specific gear pieces:
| Dungeon | Gear Pieces Dropped | Level Range |
|---|---|---|
| Goblin Dungeon | Gauntlet and Earring | Level 10-60 |
| Tina Dungeon | Helmet and Necklace | Level 10-60 |
| Arena Dungeon | Shoes and Charm | Level 10-60 |
| Dark Mist Fortress | Weapon | Level 10-80 |
| Towering Ruin | Armor and Ring | Level 10-80 |
| Kanamia Trial | Boots and Charm | Level 10-80 |
| Dragon Claw Valley | Left & Right Bracelet | Level 10-80 |
You’ll keep revisiting these same dungeons as new gear tiers (Level 40, 60, 80) are introduced through Master 1–5 and Master 6+ difficulties.
Other Gear Sources
Beyond dungeons, you can obtain gear from:
- Chaotic Realm: Normal mode drops level 40 Epic gear, Hard mode drops level 40 Legendary gear
- World Bosses: Drop specific gear pieces based on their level and server day unlock
- Gear Exchange: Trade materials for specific gear pieces
- Event Activities: Limited-time events often feature exclusive gear
- Daily Unstable Space: Easy-mode dungeon for basic gear farming
Gear Rarity and Attributes
Understanding gear rarity and attributes is crucial for effective progression. There are several gear rarities in Blue Protocol Star Resonance:
Gear Rarity Tiers
- Rare (Blue): Starting gear, quickly replaced
- Epic (Purple): Drops in normal difficulty, capped at 80% perfection
- Legendary (Gold): Drops in hard mode, capped at 100% perfection, with an extra random purple stat line
- Mythic: Can be crafted using Lv. 60 and Lv. 80 legendary weapons
Each gear piece has several important components:
Gear Attributes Breakdown
- Primary Stat – Always your class’s main attribute (Strength, Agility, or Intellect)
- Secondary Stat – A smaller bonus stat (Crit, Haste, Mastery, etc.)
- Advanced Attributes – Four random lines with various bonuses like attack speed or boss damage
- Reforge Line (Yellow) – Can be rerolled infinitely using Reforge Stones to get your desired stat
Class-Specific Primary Attributes
- Strength: Shield Knight, Wind Knight, Heavy Guardian
- Agility: Stormblade, Marksman
- Intellect: Frost Mage, Verdant Oracle, Beat Performer
Always ensure your gear has the correct primary attribute for your class, marked with a “Thumbs-Up” icon in the gear interface.
Advanced Attribute Restrictions (January 2025)
Not all advanced attributes can appear on every gear piece. Here’s a comprehensive table showing which attributes cannot be rolled based on gear type and basic attribute:
| Gear Slot | Strength | Intellect | Agility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Helmet | Versatility | Crit | Haste |
| Armor | Luck | Crit | Mastery |
| Gauntlets | Haste | Versatility | Crit |
| Boots | Mastery | Luck | Crit |
| Earrings | Mastery | Versatility | Haste |
| Necklace | Haste | Luck | Mastery |
| Ring | Luck | Mastery | Versatility |
| Bracelet (L) | Crit | Haste | Versatility |
| Bracelet (R) | Crit | Mastery | Luck |
| Charm | Versatility | Haste | Luck |
How Reforging Works?
Reforging is one of the most important gear progression systems in Blue Protocol Star Resonance. You can reforge gear at the Gear Enhancement Artisan (Maxim) in town.
Reforging Process
Using Reforge Stones increases your gear’s perfection level (0–100) and raises the fixed stat values. Each reforging attempt also rerolls the yellow stat line, allowing you to chase the perfect setup.
Key Reforging Features
- Perfection Level: Ranges from 0-100%, directly affecting stat values
- Stat Rerolls: Each reforging attempt rerolls the yellow advanced attribute
- Material Refund: If you dismantle a reforged item, the game refunds all your used Reforge Stones, so you can safely experiment without losing progress
- Rarity Caps: Epic gear caps at 80% perfection, Legendary gear at 100%
Reforge Stone Sources
You can acquire Reforge Stones from:
- Unstable Space: Daily dungeon runs
- Chaotic Realm: Both normal and hard modes
- Mystery Store: Purchase with various currencies
- Honor Coin Store: Weekly currency exchange
- Trading Center: Player-to-player trading
- Gear Exchange: Level 60+ gear exchange system
- Dismantling Gold-tier gear: Break down unwanted equipment
Reforging Strategy
- Start with Epic gear: Begin reforging epic gear from normal dungeons
- Target 80% perfection: For epic gear, this is the maximum achievable
- Chase optimal stats: Focus on getting the right advanced attributes for your class
- Move to Legendary: Once you have legendary gear, work toward 100% perfection
- Experiment freely: Since stones are refunded on dismantle, don’t be afraid to try different combinations
Raid Gear and Set Effects
At higher levels, Raid Gear becomes your ultimate goal for endgame content. This specialized gear offers the best stats and powerful set bonuses.
Raid Gear Types
- Rune Gear (Lv. 60): Crafted from Alloy Shards earned in 20-man Dragon Raids
- War Gear (Lv. 80): The current endgame gear, also crafted from Alloy Shards
Raid Gear Advantages
Raid Gear has several unique benefits over regular dungeon gear:
- Fixed Optimal Stats: Raid gear doesn’t have random purple lines but instead comes with fixed optimal stats for your class (e.g., Haste + Mastery)
- 4-Piece Set Bonuses: Each class has unique set bonuses that activate when wearing 4 pieces of raid gear
- Class Adaptation: Raid Gear automatically adjusts to your current class. Change your specialization, and the stats and bonuses adapt to match
- Higher Base Stats: Even at lower perfection levels, raid gear provides superior stats compared to regular gear
Obtaining Raid Gear
To craft raid gear, you need:
- Alloy Shards: Earned from 20-man Dragon Raids
- Gold Pieces: Raid currency used for weapon upgrades
- Crafting Materials: Additional materials specific to each gear piece
Set Bonuses by Class
Each class has unique 4-piece set bonuses that enhance their core abilities:
- Tanks (Shield Knight, Heavy Guardian): Enhanced defense, taunt duration, and party protection
- DPS (Stormblade, Wind Knight, Marksman, Frost Mage): Increased damage, critical hit chance, and ability cooldown reduction
- Support (Verdant Oracle, Beat Performer): Improved healing, buff duration, and mana efficiency
Weapons and Upgrades
Weapons follow a separate upgrade path from armor and accessories, with their own progression system.
Weapon Upgrade Path
- Lv. 60 weapons can be upgraded to Lv. 70, Lv. 80, Lv. 90, and Lv. 100 using raid currencies
- Fixed Stats: Each weapon tier has fixed stats, meaning you don’t have to worry about rerolling them
- Upgrade Materials: Require Gold Pieces and Glitter Seller Cores from raids
Weapon Upgrade Strategy
- Start with Lv. 60 weapons: Obtain from hard mode dungeons or craft
- Upgrade sequentially: Progress through each level tier (60 → 70 → 80 → 90 → 100)
- Save currencies: Focus on accumulating Gold Pieces and Glitter Seller Cores
- Prioritize main weapon: Upgrade your primary weapon first for the biggest power increase
Refinement System
Refinement gives permanent character-wide bonuses that aren’t tied to gear. This is one of the most important long-term progression systems.
Refinement Basics
You can refine both attack and defense slots up to Level 20 using Star Forge Crystals and life skill materials from mining and smithing.
Refinement Materials
Different gear slots require different materials:
- Star Forge Crystal: Primary material for all refinement
- Mystery Metal: Used for Weapon, Helmet, and Armor refinement
- Radiant Stone: Used for Gauntlets, Shoes, Earrings, and Necklace refinement
- Fine Forgestone: Used for Ring, Left & Right Bracelet, and Charm refinement
Refinement Success Rates
- Decreasing Success: Success rates drop as levels increase
- Blessing Materials: Use Buri Mech Shards (+5% success) and Moss Mech Shards (+3% success) to boost success chances
- Strategic Refinement: Focus on refining evenly to level 10 before prioritizing attack slots for higher levels
Refinement Strategy
- Balance attack and defense: Refine both types evenly until level 10
- Prioritize attack: After level 10, focus on attack refinement for DPS classes
- Use blessing materials: Don’t waste materials on failed attempts – use blessing materials for high-level refinement
- Long-term investment: Refinement is permanent, so it’s worth the investment
Gems and Socketing
Every gear piece can hold gems, which grant additional stats and further enhance your character’s power.
Gem Basics
- Gem Types: Come in different types (Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire) and tiers (1, 3, 5, 7)
- Gem Attributes: Each gem type provides different stat bonuses
- Permanent Investment: Gems are consumed permanently when you dismantle the gear
- Socket Limit: Each gear piece can hold one gem
Gem Types and Stats
| Gem Type | Primary Stat | Shape Variants |
|---|---|---|
| Diamond | Luck | Triangular, Fancy Cut, Pear Cut, Square |
| Emerald | Mastery | Triangular, Fancy Cut, Pear Cut, Square |
| Ruby | Crit | Triangular, Fancy Cut, Pear Cut, Square |
| Sapphire | Haste | Triangular, Fancy Cut, Pear Cut, Square |
Gem Shapes and Secondary Stats
- Triangular: Strength
- Fancy Cut: Agility
- Pear Cut: Intellect
- Square: Endurance
Gem Strategy
- Target Level 5-6: Unless you’re deep into late-game farming, aim for Level 5 or 6 gems to save resources
- Match your build: Choose gems that complement your class and build
- Consider investment: Since gems are destroyed when removing them, be strategic about which gear you socket them in
- Craft vs. Buy: You can craft gems through Gemcrafting life skill or purchase from Trading Center
Advanced Progression Systems
Beyond the basic gear progression, several advanced systems tie into your overall power:
Ability Score Optimization
Your Ability Score is influenced by multiple factors:
- Adventurer Level: Base character level
- Talents: Passive skill tree enhancements
- Skill Training: Skill levels, tiers, and Imagines
- Gear: Perfection, Refinement Level, and Gem Level
- Emblem: Endgame progression system
- Module: Additional customization system
Content Unlock by Ability Score
While you can access all content regardless of Ability Score, the game makes it challenging by preventing you from using matchmaking or the party finder system for content that you don’t reach the recommended Ability Score for.
Life Skill Integration
Several life skills contribute to gear progression:
- Mining: Provides ore for refinement materials
- Smithing: Creates refinement materials and basic gear
- Gemology: Mines raw gems for crafting
- Gemcrafting: Crafts and upgrades gems
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Based on my extensive research and gameplay experience, here are the most common mistakes players make in gear progression:
Early Game Mistakes
- Ignoring Primary Attributes: Equipping gear without your class’s primary stat
- Over-investing in Rare Gear: Spending resources on gear you’ll quickly replace
- Neglecting Refinement: Focusing only on gear upgrades while ignoring permanent refinement bonuses
Mid Game Mistakes
- Poor Reforge Stone Management: Using stones inefficiently or not experimenting enough
- Gem Mismanagement: Socketing high-level gems in temporary gear
- Unbalanced Refinement: Focusing too much on one type of refinement
Late Game Mistakes
- Rushing to Perfection: Not planning for optimal stat combinations
- Ignoring Set Bonuses: Not prioritizing raid gear set bonuses
- Poor Resource Allocation: Not saving currencies for weapon upgrades
2025 Pro Strategies for Maximum Efficiency

FAQ
What is the fastest way to get gear in Blue Protocol Star Resonance?
The fastest way to get gear is by running Chaotic Realm dungeons. Normal mode drops level 40 Epic gear, while Hard mode drops level 40 Legendary gear. Focus on specific dungeons that drop the gear pieces you need for your class.
How do I increase my Ability Score quickly?
To increase your Ability Score quickly, focus on three main areas: gear perfection through reforging, refinement levels for permanent bonuses, and upgrading your skills and Imagines. Prioritize gear with the correct primary attributes for your class.
What are the best stats for each class?
Each class has optimal stat combinations: Strength classes (Shield Knight, Wind Knight, Heavy Guardian) benefit from Versatility and Mastery; Agility classes (Stormblade, Marksman) excel with Haste and Crit; Intellect classes (Frost Mage, Verdant Oracle, Beat Performer) perform best with Crit and Mastery.
When should I start reforging my gear?
Start reforging once you have Epic gear from normal dungeons. Focus on reaching 80% perfection for Epic gear, then transition to Legendary gear with a goal of 100% perfection. Remember that Reforge Stones are refunded when you dismantle gear, so experiment freely.
How does raid gear compare to regular dungeon gear?
Raid gear is significantly better than regular dungeon gear, offering fixed optimal stats, powerful 4-piece set bonuses, and class-adaptive stats. While dungeon gear requires perfect rolls and reforging, raid gear comes with optimized stats right from the start.
What’s the maximum refinement level?
The maximum refinement level is 20 for both attack and defense slots. Success rates decrease as you approach higher levels, so use blessing materials like Buri Mech Shards and Moss Mech Shards to improve your chances.
Are gems worth the investment?
Yes, gems are worth the investment for long-term progression, but be strategic. Use Level 5-6 gems for most content, and only invest in higher-tier gems when you have endgame raid gear that you won’t replace soon.
How often should I update my gear?
Update your gear when you can acquire items with higher base levels or better rarity. Generally, transition from Rare to Epic around level 20-30, and from Epic to Legendary around level 40-60. Raid gear becomes available at level 60 and represents the endgame goal.
Conclusion and Next Steps
Gear progression in Blue Protocol Star Resonance is designed for steady, rewarding growth. Focus on farming the right dungeons for specific pieces, mastering reforging for optimal stats, and working your way toward raid sets.
