Optimization Station

The Optimization Station is a new feature added into the game with Update 1.8: Resistance, and it now allows players to min-max their gear if the player either doesn't wish to grind to find another item to replace their own, or if the player doesn't have the time to grind.

Function
Gear in the game no longer drops at the maximum of 286 in World Tier 5. Instead, Gear dropped in World Tier 5 now drops at a randomized Score, with the stats of said Gear reflecting the score.

The optimization station is used by players to increase the score of their gear while retaining the bonuses of the gear. It can be used on weapons to increase their score as well.

The UI on the station displays information such as the current score, its bonuses, and how strong it is.

Each "use" of the optimization station costs the same, regardless of score, or type of gear (weapon or gear piece). Each use costs credits, as well as 50. Each use upgrades the piece of gear slightly. A piece of gear at max optimization (eg 286 GS) will not be able to be further optimized. In other words, the player can bring a piece of gear to its max level for the world tier in which they got the item only.
