Accessories are polished by Jewel, whom you meet in the Village of Lu during “Snake’s Reflection”; after that you can polish from any bell. According to Vandal (Spanish guide), each accessory goes up to 2 levels (+1 and +2): the first polish spends a Tainted Crystal Shard and the second a Refined Indigo Crystal. It can’t be undone.
Step by step
- Progress to the Village of Lu and meet Jewel in “Snake’s Reflection”, after the Place of Awakening bell.
- Open Upgrade gear › Accessories at any bell.
- +1: spend a Tainted Crystal Shard.
- +2: spend a Refined Indigo Crystal.
Where to get the crystals
- In the bell shops, which have more stock once you discover Zhang’s hideouts.
- In cracked wooden chests with a light blue glow.
No wiki publishes the dust cost of each polish or the exact numbers for each accessory at +1 and +2. Some guides mention a third level on certain accessories, and New Game Plus has more polishing steps. We will update this as soon as it is confirmed.
Which accessories to polish first
The ones you will always wear: the two key accessories of your build. Since polishing is irreversible, don’t spend crystals on situational accessories like the Flameward or the Thunderward.
