# Increasing Rarity of Collectible Items

The player can upgrade the rarity of a collectible item using the corresponding workbench. An installed Artifact with a rarity higher than common is required. The rarity of the item can be increased to the rarity level of the installed Artifact.

To increase rarity, the player needs to:

* Select the collectible item that you want to increase rarity in the workbench
* Choose two collectible items of the same type and rarity, which can be of different levels and tiers, to use in the upgrade (these items will be consumed in the process)
  *  when upgrading a collectible item’s rarity, any resources that were spent to craft or upgrade the consumed items (wood, stones, ore, etc.) will be returned to the player’s in-game mailbox
* Spend a certain amount of [Catolyst](/game/economy-overview/catolyst.md) and [Ancient Rifts](/game/economy-overview/ancient-rifts.md) (the amount will depend on the desired rarity)
  * If the Luck level of the items consumed is lower than that of the item whose rarity is being increased, the cost in [Catolyst](/game/economy-overview/catolyst.md) will rise
* Wait for the process to finish (the length will depend on the desired rarity)

After increasing the rarity of a collectible item:

* The "Luck" parameter will be increased
* Maximum durability will be increased
* Additional stats or aspects will be added (the amount will depend on the new rarity)

Increasing a collectible item’s rarity uses the same slot as for crafting collectible items, charging them or processing Ancient Rifts. 

Item rarity increases are limited by Luck levels. For example, items with Luck level 1–10 can only be increased up to Legendary rarity. To increase rarity to the next tier, an item must have a Luck level of 11 or higher.

### Speed Up the Rarity Increase process

Players can complete the rarity increase process early by paying a fee in [Gems](/game/economy-overview/gems.md). The 'Speed Up' button becomes available as soon as the rarity increase process starts and can be activated at any time.

The cost of speeding up depends on the remaining time, with less time remaining leading to lower speed up fees.

### Canceling the Rarity Increase process

At any point during the rarity increase process, players can cancel the upgrade, reclaiming all spent resources and collectible items via in-game mail.&#x20;
