Infusion can be performed by Infusing two of the same pieces of Gear or similar pieces of Gear. (Monsters cannot be Infused.)

Performing Infusion on a piece of Gear will raise its level cap allowing it to be made stronger.
The base Gear must be fully Reforged before it can be Infused. The number of times a single Gear piece can be Infused varies depending on the Gear.
When using "near-identical" or "similar" Gear pieces as material for Infusion, a set number of the special Infusion item known as "Drops of Ether" is required.

■Near-Identical Gear and the Amount of Drops of Ether Required
Near-identical Gear refers to Gear that meets the below conditions.
・Weapons of the same classification as the base Gear
(Example: If the base Gear is a sword, then a sword or an axe can be used.)
・Same rarity as the base Gear
・Same or higher Cost as the base Gear
・Same Infusion count limit as the base Gear
When using a near-identical Gear piece to perform Infusion, one Drop of Ether item is required.

■Similar Gear and the Amount of Drops of Ether Required
Similar Gear refers to Gear that meets the below conditions:
・Same rarity as the base Gear
・Same Infusion count limit as the base Gear
When using similar Gear to perform Infusion, three Drops of Ether are required.

When using Gear that has already been Infused to perform Infusion, you can perform a Continued Infusion that retains the number of times Infusion has already been performed.
In this case, the number of Drops of Ether required depends on the number of times Infusion has already been performed and the base Gear piece used.
(Examples:
If a near-identical piece of Gear that has been Infused one time is used as material, the number of Drops of Ether required is two.
If a near-identical piece of Gear that has been Infused two times is used as material, the number of Drops of Ether required is three.
If a similar piece of Gear that has been Infused one time is used as material, the number of Drops of Ether required is six.
If a similar piece of Gear that has been Infused two times is used as material, the number of Drops of Ether required is nine.
If an identical piece of Gear that has been Infused one time is used as material, the number of Drops of Ether required is zero.

You can obtain Drops of Ether for Infusion by completing Sub Quests and through other rewards.
