Mythic to Red Transition
Special alerts when upgrading from Mythic (level 100) to Red Gear (level 101+), ensuring you meet the Mastery Forging Level 10 requirement.
Resource Optimization
Calculate material requirements for multiple gear pieces to prioritize which heroes get upgraded first based on your available resources.
Long-Term Planning
See the total investment needed to max out your hero gear, helping you set realistic goals and farm efficiently over time.
Our Hero Gear Calculator uses precise game data to compute material requirements. Here's the methodology behind the calculations:
1. Gear Level Ranges
Hero Gear has two distinct phases: Mythic Gear (levels 0-100) and Red Gear (levels 101-200). Each level has specific material requirements that increase progressively. The transition at level 101 requires Mastery Forging Level 10.
2. Cumulative Material Calculation
The calculator sums materials needed for every level in your chosen range:
Total Materials = Sum of (CurrentLevel + 1) to DesiredLevelExample: Upgrading from level 50 to 60 adds materials for levels 51, 52, 53... through 60.
3. Three Material Types
Enhancement XP: Primary upgrade material, available from events and chests.
Mithril: Unlocks ~40 days after Kingdom creation, required for higher levels.
Mythic Gears: Used for merging and upgrading, obtained from hero gear events.
4. Tier Transition Detection
When your upgrade path crosses from level 100 to 101, the calculator displays a special warning about the Mythic-to-Red transformation, ensuring you're aware of the Mastery Forging requirement.
5. Game Data Accuracy
All material costs are extracted from official game data files and updated with each patch. We maintain 100% accuracy by cross-referencing multiple in-game sources and community testing.
The calculator processes all data instantly, giving you real-time results as you adjust your target levels.
Our calculator has been verified by thousands of players upgrading Hero Gear. Here are real test cases proving accuracy:

Follow these simple steps to calculate your Hero Gear material requirements:
Select Current Gear Level
Choose your hero gear's current level from the dropdown (0-200). If you're starting fresh, select Level 0. Check your hero's gear details in-game to find the exact current level.
Choose Target Level
Select your desired gear level. The dropdown will only show levels higher than your current level. Common milestones: Level 100 (max Mythic), Level 150 (mid Red Gear), Level 200 (max Red Gear).
Click Calculate Materials
Press the Calculate button to see instant results. The calculator will display:
- Total Enhancement XP required
- Total Mithril needed
- Total Mythic Gears for merging
- Special alerts for Mythic-to-Red transition
Review Material Requirements
Each material type is displayed in color-coded cards. Enhancement XP (blue) is the primary resource, Mithril (purple) is scarcer and more valuable, and Mythic Gears (amber) are needed for special upgrades.
Check Your Inventory
Compare the calculated requirements with your current materials. Go to your inventory in-game and check your Enhancement XP, Mithril, and Mythic Gear counts to see what you still need to farm.
Plan Multiple Heroes
Run the calculator for each hero you want to upgrade. This helps you prioritize which heroes to invest in based on your available materials and strategic needs.
Pro Tip: Focus on upgrading gear for your main combat heroes first. Support heroes can wait until you have surplus materials!

Universal Best Practices
Q: When does Hero Gear Enhancement unlock?
A: Hero Gear Enhancement unlocks at Town Center Level 15. This is a critical early-game milestone, so start stockpiling Enhancement XP and Mythic Gears as soon as you unlock the feature.
Q: What's the difference between Mythic and Red Gear?
A: Mythic Gear ranges from level 0-100. Red Gear is level 101-200 and unlocks at level 101, but requires Mastery Forging Level 10. Red Gear provides significantly higher stat bonuses and unlocks powerful hero abilities.
Q: When does Mithril become available?
A: Mithril typically becomes available approximately 40 days after your Kingdom's creation. This is controlled server-side and cannot be rushed. Plan your early upgrades using only Enhancement XP, then accelerate when Mithril unlocks.
Q: How do I get Enhancement XP and Mithril?
A: Main sources include: Hero Gear events (best rewards), daily chests, alliance contributions, milestone rewards, and special bundles. Participate in every hero-related event to maximize material collection.
Q: Should I upgrade all heroes equally or focus on one?
A: Focus on your main combat hero first to maximize battle effectiveness. After reaching level 100-150 on your primary hero, you can spread resources to secondary heroes. One maxed hero provides more value than multiple mediocre ones.
Q: What are Mythic Gears used for?
A: Mythic Gears are used for merging and upgrading hero gear, especially at higher levels. They're rarer than Enhancement XP, so save them for critical upgrades and milestone pushes.
Q: Can I upgrade gear for heroes I don't own yet?
A: No, you can only upgrade gear for heroes you've already unlocked. However, you can use the calculator to plan future upgrades for heroes you're working towards unlocking.
Q: Does upgrading gear increase hero power?
A: Yes! Each gear level increases your hero's stats (Attack, Defense, HP) which directly boosts your overall power. Higher gear levels provide exponentially more power gains.
Q: What's the best strategy for reaching Red Gear?
A: First, max out Mythic Gear to level 100. Ensure you have Mastery Forging Level 10 unlocked. Stockpile massive amounts of Enhancement XP and Mithril (Red Gear is very expensive). Only upgrade to Red when you can sustain continuous upgrades, not just hit level 101.
Q: Why are my calculated materials different from in-game?
A: Double-check that you've selected the correct current and desired levels. Our calculator uses official game data and has 100% accuracy. If you find a discrepancy, please report it with screenshots so we can investigate.
