I have been seeing many many more posts on COMPOSING. Hopefully, this will clear most, if not all doubts. Please post questions HERE on THIS thread.

Firstly, what is composition? No, not the kind you write in school for a bunch of fat, lazy teachers to pass time, but what you do to give your already godly weapons extra power. NOTE: This is not intended to slam teachers in any way. =P

Composing, in CO, is the art of giving your item / weapon a funny number at the end. Ever see GreatBacksword(+2) and wonder what it means? I'm here to tell you.

The number denotes the additional level that has been composed into the item in question. For example, if you see UnitClub(+4), it means that the person has spent enough time to upgrade his club with 4 additional compositional levels, which would grant him increased accuracy and damage.

Are we clear on exactly what composing is yet? Good. In case you are wondering exactly what giving your item additional levels will do, check here. It gives a full list of what upgrading your items will do. Now, are we excited yet? Do I hear a HELL YEA? (*background* HELL YEA!) OK! Wanna know how to do this leet thing? I'm just about to tell you, so don't crap in your pants.

No doubt in the course of your hunting or shopping in Market, you would have seen various normal items sold for exorbitant prices, or normal items with funny purple texting. These are what we shall call Aux Items (AI). They are basically normal +1 items that we shall use for upgrading. And now, you have that Elite/Super item that you will want to upgrade. This is called the Main Item (MI).

First off, to upgrade your MI to +x, you will have to have 2 AIs of additional levels +(x-1). For example, to upgrade your Elite +2 Earring to Elite +3, you will need 2 +2 Earrings of any grade. To upgrade +0(normal) to +1, you will need 2 +1 items. Its a simple formula.

Yes, I hear the question. How are you gonna get 2 +2 Earrings in the example above. Well, simple way would be to simply get 2 normal +1 Earrings and upgrade them both to normal +2 Earrings. Then use these normal +2 to upgrade your MI.

Are we clear? Its that simple! Now you wonder why there are so many questions of the boards. Now, a few things to make clear. There are several classes of items. For example, you cannot upgrade your BackSword with Tao Hats and etc. As a general rule, you can only upgrade with items of that particular type. Earrings with Earrings, BackSwords with BackSwords and so on and so forth. The only exception to this rule is this. All 1h and 2h weapons are clustered under the same category. Yes, you CAN upgrade your Club with a Hammer and a Hook. Yes, you CAN upgrade your PoleAxe with your Glaive and Spear. This weapons category does NOT include BackSwords and Bows, however. Don't cry.

Another thing you have to know is that when upgrading from +5 to +6, in addition to 2 +5 items, you will need 2 gems for weapons or 1 gem for armor. Any gem of any quality will do. Settle for Kylin.

Lastly, L120 items can ONLY BE COMPOSED WITH L120 items. Don't ask why, this is just the case. As I'm not L120 as yet, I don't know if you can cross the boundary. I would appreciate any information you can give ^^

Well, thats it for my COMPOSING in-depth FAQ. And to close, I'll provide you lazy bums out there a list of how many items you will need to make your items the desired +# level you want.

+0 > +1 : 2
+1 > +2 : 2
+2 > +3 : 6
+3 > +4 : 18
+4 > +5 : 54
+5 > +6 : 162
+6 > +7 : 486
+7 > +8 : 1458
+8 > +9 : 4374
+9 > +10 : You would be dead by now.

I was made aware that the previous posted number of +1s needed to upgrade to the next level was WRONG. I apologise to any and all who have gotten their hopes up of making a +9 easily based on my figures. A DB to each of you. -Crosses Fingers =P- Once again, my most sincere apologies. Now, the correct set of figures have been provided by Monk4Life. Although they have not been checked by me, his formula does seem correct. This formula has been provided below. Thanks to Monk4Life for the correction.

Items Needed = [3^(X-2)] x 2

Where X is the level you want it to go to. E.G. +2 = 3^(2-2) x 2
= 3^0 x 2
= 1 x 2
= 2 Items needed.

This formula does not apply to making +0 to +1. 2 +1 Items are needed for that.

i wonder if lvl 121 can compose with lvl 120 items??

[Vorn]

Does it matter what kind of hat? I have an Elite +1 ApeHat that I would like to make +2.

Can I get any 2... +1 hats.. helmets.. etc for that?

once I get them.. if they are lvl 15 +1 should I raise there lvls before using them to make mine a +2?

Will that help their "purple" numbers?

[Yun_Li]

for items +1 if same category, you don't need to upgrade any level...as long as it's below level 120, you can compose it no matter what level they are.

I don't think you right. because i have formular for calculation.

A = [3^(X-2)]2

A= amount of +1's items
X = +# item you want to compose.
This formula applies for +4 and above.

NOTE: it's not including Main item.

And you won't catch on me with that formula. because i'm good at math. and i'm doing math for living

[IlikePIE]

I'll un-sticky this if you want dNa

Thanks for the help buh-bye.

[Monk4life]

Fury, Please check post before you put on sticky. Because it's help guide many newbie play. For us, there is nothing because i played for long. But for Newbie some have to be correct and clearly. Thanks

Lord, I find this thread much more easy to understand than yours - yours is too...mathematical... o_O..

[Monk4life]

I'm talking about amount of +1. please recalculate again

[Monk4life]

Thank fury for Edit sticky

[Yun_Li]

Sorry about my formula. just because i love math


Like you want to make +7 items

A = [3^(7 -2)]2
= (3^5)2
=3.3.3.3.3.2
=468

[The xdNax]

Ah well, accidents happen. =P

I kinda drew out the whole composing thing, but then, I must have made a mistake somewhere. Yes, the formula provided seems correct to me. And I will make the changes myself as well.

For an earlier question, yes, Tao Caps can only be composed with Tao Caps, Archer Hats can only be composed with Archer Hats.

And as for this Sticky, its entirely up to you Fury, as I have linked to it in my other Sticky 'Guidelines'. Your call. And please check your PMs. I have something to ask you.
