Gear Score

In one sentence: Gear Score (GS) is a power number from your equipped gear — many dungeon doors check it before you can enter.
Quick version
- Equip your best weapon + armor + accessories.
- Check your GS in character UI.
- Compare to the dungeon teleporter requirement.
- Upgrade / awake / element gear if the door rejects you.
(Old URL Gearscore redirects here: Gearscore.)
Gear Score (GS) is a measure of your character's overall equipment power. It determines which dungeons you can enter and is calculated from your equipped items.
Equipment That Counts
Gear Score is calculated from the following equipped items:
| Slot | Type | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Right Hand | Weapon | Highest impact |
| Head | Helmet | Medium |
| Body | Suit | Medium |
| Hands | Gauntlets | Medium |
| Feet | Boots | Medium |
| Neck | Necklace | Lower |
| Fingers | 2x Rings | Lower |
| Ears | 2x Earrings | Lower |
Note: Shields, cloaks, and fashion items do NOT count toward gear score.
How Gear Score Is Calculated
The gear score formula considers multiple factors for each item:
Weapon Factors
| Factor | Impact | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Item Level | Base value | Higher level = more GS |
| Upgrade Level | Multiplier | +10 gives significant boost |
| Weapon Level | Multiplier | Each level increases weapon GS |
| Item Type | 2x bonus | Set/Ultimate weapons get double |
| Dragon Rank | Additive | DR requirement adds to level |
Armor Factors
| Factor | Impact | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Item Level | Base value | Higher level = more GS |
| Upgrade Level | Multiplier | Upgrades multiply armor GS |
| Card Slots | Additive | Pierced cards add GS |
| Item Type | 2x bonus | Set armor gets double |
| Dragon Rank | Additive | DR requirement adds to level |
Accessory Factors
| Factor | Impact | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Upgrade Level | Base value | Higher upgrade = more GS |
| Ultimate Type | +20 base | Ultimate accessories start at 20 |
Scale Multipliers
The game uses these scale factors (from source code):
| Factor | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon ATK Scale | 1.0x | Base weapon contribution |
| Weapon Upgrade Scale | 0.75x | Upgrade level multiplier |
| Weapon Level Scale | 0.5x | Weapon leveling bonus |
| Armor Level Scale | 0.4x | Base armor contribution |
| Armor Upgrade Scale | 0.85x | Upgrade level multiplier |
| Armor Cards Scale | 0.7x | Piercing card bonus |
| Accessory Scale | 1.8x | Jewelry contribution |
| Unique/Set Scale | 2.0x | Bonus for set items |
| Total Scale | 5.5x | Final multiplier |
Item Type Bonuses
Set/Ultimate Items (2x Multiplier)
Items marked as "Set" armor or "Ultimate" weapons receive a 2.0x gear score multiplier. This makes set items significantly better for gear score than regular items of the same level.
Dragon Rank Items
Items with a Dragon Rank requirement add that DR value to their effective level for gear score calculation. For example:
- A DR 150 weapon with level 150 counts as level 300 for gear score
- This makes DR items extremely valuable for gear score
Weapon Types
| Type | Gear Score Calculation |
|---|---|
| Blue (General) | Level divided by 2 |
| Green (Ultimate) | Full level + bonuses |
| Master Class | Level + 20 bonus |
| DR Weapons | Level + Dragon Rank |
Gear Score requirements (Dragon Guide + honesty)
Prefer the live teleporter. Guide-proven rows from the Dragon Guide:

Prestige end dungeons (Obsidian / Shadow / Depths)
Entry DR/GS are not on the same Dragon Guide table. Teleporter shows 2 daily entries and a high HP check — read the numbers on the teleporter. Do not trust old “GS 11,500 / DR 150 / 180” marketing without checking in-game.
Class Adjustments
Some classes have modified gear score requirements:
| Class | Modifier | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Ringmaster | 100% | Base requirement |
| Knight | 108% | Slightly higher requirement |
Example: If a dungeon requires 10,000 GS, Knights need 10,800 GS.
