How to increase javelin's strength in Anthem? Anthem Guide and Walkthrough
Last update: 08 March 2019
Each javelin you use can be modified at the Forge. It is recommended to check the available modifications each time after returning from a mission with interesting items. You can also craft your own upgrades - more information on that can be found in the Crafting section of this guide. In Anthem, javelin's level can exceed even 500 points.
When installing new modifications onto your javelin, you will notice its level in the top right corner of the Forge. With around 100 points awarded for javelin stats, your javelin is promoted onto another level. Here are the specific requirements:
- Uncommon javelin - 84 points
- Rare javelin - 240 points
- Epic javelin- 395 points
- Masterwork javelin - 486 points
What does the power increase give you?
With increasing your javelin's power, you increase its combat efficiency and, more importantly, improves your chances to find better loot in order to upgrade your javelin even more. With each level (change of color) the default items that can be found as loot are the ones sharing the same level as you, while more than 50% of the loot items exceed your level (apart from the masterwork items that are rarer, and possible to find only after you reach the Epic - purple level).
Enemies grow stronger, as your javelin becomes more and more powerful. You should remember, though, that the Power is indicated by the items Thus, it is possible to use epic weapons and mediocre equipment only to mount powerful attacks with little defense capabilities. In such case, javelin does not have enough health points or its special abilities do little damage to the opponents. Always try to balance your equipment - this is very important when starting the game with a new javelin and only some of the upgrades from the previous javelin.
