# NFT Ascensions

**Ascension** can be considered an endgame activity for upgrading our NFTs. Ascension allows you to upgrade the following schema:

<p align="center"><strong>Warlord, Mercenary, Equipment, Services, Supplies, Creatures</strong></p>

## <sup><sub>**What enhancing characteristics does Ascension bring to our NFTs?**<sub></sup>

In the [useful links](/guide/getting-started/useful-links.md) section, you will find a reference to the Excel file containing full details of the Ascended NFT stats.

However, we would like to highlight that the Ascension process is available for up to 5 levels beyond the base level. This means an NFT can be ascended to a **maximum of 5 stars.**

## <sup><sub>**How do I get the Fragments?**<sub></sup>

To perform the Ascension, the first thing you need to obtain are the Fragments.

The Fragments are considered Materials and are obtained by burning other NFTs. They can also be torn from the Ancients of the Deep in Bastion (a rare drop on World Boss strikes) and minted from its Vault, see [The Deep](/guide/bastion/the-deep-bosses.md).

Let's examine the burning tables in detail and discuss them.

<div align="center" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/6kbcVlkhhuJRfUuLf7Tt/blobs/rdnAaw5zQhsptJVZ8Idw/Frammenti.png" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

This table shows how many Fragments will be obtained by burning an NFT.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**WARNING: The burn must be performed using the blend tools, rather than by directly burning the NFT from your inventory. Use the Sacrifice Blend.**
{% endhint %}

We will therefore have ***guaranteed Fragments*** and ***additional Fragments***—with a chance for a lucky roll—depending on the type of NFT we sacrifice.

## <sup><sub>**How do I perform the Ascension?**<sub></sup>

Once the Fragments have been obtained, we can perform the Ascension. Let's take a look at the following table, which lists the number of Fragments required.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/6kbcVlkhhuJRfUuLf7Tt/blobs/JCNkkY01oT28dgyPNF63/Costo%20frammenti%20per%20l&#x27;ascensione.png" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

This table shows how many Fragments are required for each Ascension level (star), based on the rarity of the NFT being ascended. What you need to keep in mind is that the value in the first box must be added to the values ​​in the subsequent boxes.

Imagine you want to Ascend that Mythic NFT seen previously to 5 stars. The calculation to be performed will be: 19+21+23+25+27 = 115 Fragments. This means to upgrade a Mythic to 5 stars, you'll need 115 Fragments.

Remember once again that to Ascend, you will need to use the tools employed for all the other Blends.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**WARNING: To use ascended NFTs in Web Game, you must also complete several** [**Forge**](/guide/web-game/forge.md) **stages, depending on the Ascension level you wish to achieve.**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: The information on this page reflects the current state of Planetary Defense's development. As new features are actually released and the game evolves, some details here may change, and this page will be updated to stay accurate.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://planetary-defense-guide.gitbook.io/guide/getting-started/readme/nft-ascensions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
