# Item Upgrading

Each Dead Knight has a fixed number of equipment slots depending on how rare they are. The minimum is 4 slots and the maximum is 7 slots, and they provide a boost to the stats of the Dead Knight. Dead Knights with better stats can go further in Dungeon/World Boss mode and have a better chance of gaining new upgrading materials, support materials & Dead Knight NFT.

When participating in explorer, dungeon & world boss mode, the player will have a chance to receive a Majestic Chest. They can open this chest for a small charge and have a chance to receive upgrading materials & Dead Knight NFT, which has a certain drop rate.

The upgrading material can be traded on the in-game market & secondary market.

There is a success rate when players use upgrading material. If successful, the Equipment will boost the Dead Knight stats. There is a chance that the upgrading materials will be destroyed due to failure. However, if players also use support material, their chance of successful upgrading will be higher.

The equipment can be upgraded in the Forge function. Each time, the item upgrade will cost DK token and upgrading materials.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knight-dead.gitbook.io/dead-knight-whitepaper/overview/gaming-features/item-upgrading.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
