Costs[]
The costs needed to ascend an item to a level using Refined Essence or Magical Essence through conversion with the Essence Refinery is shown in the table below. Note that since items can be ascended to an infinite level, the table is cut short at level 20, then jumps to level 100, and then level 1000, to give the Player an estimate of the costs.

Trivia[]
- Item Ascension was released along with Essence Refinery on March 29th, 2015, through patch v.1034
- Item Ascension used to be unlocked when the Sanctum reached level 5. This requirement increased to level 12 on April 12th, 2015, through patch v.1035.
- Although an Item can "technically" be ascended to an infinite level, there is actually a cap,
since the game runs on a 32-bit memory address, and can only store up to a certain number. The actual max (although it will never be reached, so treat it as infinite) is shown in the table below:
| Level | Refined Total | Refined Essence |
Magic Essence Total |
|---|---|---|---|
|
429,494 (Max) |
461,165,961,295,000 | 2,147,480,000 | 461,165,961,295,000,000
(461 Quadrillion 165 Trillion. 961 billion, 295 million) |
| 429,495 | 461,168,108,775,000 | **2,147,485,000**
Displays NaN=not a number |
461,168,108,775,000,000 |
The most Refined Essence you can hold is 2,147,483,647. This applies to Magical Essence also, so you can convert each max limit and gain more. It will take 214,748.135297442 max limits to max out Ascension for one item.
