Exchange of Equipment
New characters can purchase higher-level items by paying the difference in the price between the equipment they have now and the higher-level equipment they want to buy.
In the starting villages, Gludin, and Gludio Castle Town, all No Grade weapons, armor, and jewelry can be traded at the weapons, armor, and accessory traders.
This is the official outline of the facility.
I believe this can be read several ways.. is this limited to the starter towns only and hence stop at D-grade?
you can get better equipment than sold flat for adena, but best equipment you can get with exchange is top non-grade.
D grade armors are not upgradable at all.
D grade weapons can be upgraded by Mamon Blacksmith, but it's another story - not newbie system, but seven signs system.
I had the same question so I just decided to start upgrading to see where it took me. Basically you can get bronze armor as the best armor from the exchange system.
exchange will only work for upgradeing NG gears as was said already... once you graduate to D and C you can exchange for equal weapon or upgrade (for a bit of Ancient Adena) at the blacksmith of mammon - he wont help you with armors or jewelry, only weapons, and only D or C... anything B grade or higher puts you at the mercy of your fellow L2 players and thier willingness to trade and or craft
I thought I heard a rumor...RUMOR...that blacksmith mammon would trade B weapons now in C4. Anyone tried to do it yet? Would sure be nice to see the Damascus come down from 48 mill or so on Lionna...
