Upgrades

Trinket Slot Upgrade

Trinkets are a type of gear that bestow a variety of small, but useful benefits to your knight. Any player can acquire trinkets, but in order to equip them, trinket slots must be unlocked with an upgrade. Up to two Trinket Slot Upgrades may be activated at a time. Each one will unlock a single trinket slot for 30 calendar days. An activated slot upgrade will remain visible in your arsenal with the expiration date and time showing in the mouseover tooltip.

Weapon Slot Upgrade

Clicking on a yellow activated slot allows you to use an unactivated slot to extend the expiration date.

By default, players are only able to equip two weapons when they descend into the Clockworks. This limit can be increased up to four weapons by purchasing and using Weapon Slot Upgrades. Up to two Weapon Slot Upgrades may be activated at a time. Each one enables an additional weapon slot for 30 calendar days. An activated slot upgrade will have a yellow background and remain visible in your arsenal with the expiration date and time showing in the mouseover tooltip. If you have both an activated and unused slot upgrade in your arsenal, you can click on the activated slot upgrade and use the unused slot to extend the expiration date by 30 days.
