can rare be upgraded twice?
example: crystal sword - dimensional blade - phase blade

i thought i remember someone saying it can only be once long time ago

wonder if im wasting time grabbing certain items hoping for gg rare

Yes, you can upgrade twice rare weapons.

Fal + Um + Perf Sapphire + Exceptional Rare Weapon = Elite Rare Weapon
Ko + Pul + Perf Amethyst + Exceptional Rare Armor = Elite Rare Armor
