The Upgradable equipment make another appearance in this game with few changes. Only the armors and the helmets return, the weapons are the only equipment who can be upgraded and it's no more random elements to get the final version of the weapon and the armours are only found in their final version. Only the weapons who was existed in the previous game appear, the Greatsword and the Wand doesn't have their own version.
The weapons can be collected at various points in second act while three Forge manuals for upgrade them are found in act 3. The first is found in the Tower of Lost Time, the second in the Sage's Trial of the Drustan's labyrinth and the last is won with a wish from Drustan. The armours are dropped by monsters or forged by the Fun-size Forge.
