# Upgrading

### Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

Upgrading equipment increases its level which improves its gameplay performance. This process requires both tokens.

The level is persistent and doesn’t reset with the change of ownership.

### Requirements <a href="#requirements" id="requirements"></a>

To upgrade an equipment piece a player will need a certain amount of $BRST and $CS. All $CS are being burnt, while all $BRST are being transferred into the Treasury and Company wallets (more on this on [Monetisation page](https://burstroyalecom.gitbook.io/untitled/business-model/monetisation)).

The price of the upgrade depends on the current level and attributes of an equipment piece, like Rarity, Title, and Grade.

Below are the examples of relationships between requirements and various attributes based on a current level.
