yeah, that's the chinese updates... way down the road.
For now, Purples are limited to G50 (they can degrade once they reach G30).
Reds are limited to G6 (can degrade at G4 and G5).
Upgrading purple arms is the same process as upgrading reds or lower.... complete a full arm, then pay 90 gems to attempt an upgrade.
Failed red upgrades get 0.1% more fortified (fails for purples get you 0.025%). In the 190 patch Batheo is about to see, the fort-crit feature will arrive, and degrades on red arms will disappear. Instead of just 0.1% per fail, reds will be able to "crit" for more fort (0.2%, 0.4%, and 1%).
G6 red arms can be recast to G20 purple (G5 red can recast to G12 purple). Once you recast, you need to use purple arms to upgrade that arm (since its now purple).
Max fails for red arms = 256 I'm told.
64 is max for G3
128 is max for G4
256 is max for G5
On you reach max failure/bonus, you will upgrade the next attempt. If you get a degrade back down to a lower grade, the next attempt will level you back up.
As you can tell... with a potential 25.6% boost from red arms... once you see somene with a G20 purple arm, you can't tell how strong it really is. It could be a "perfect" run to G20 with no fails, or it could be 25% stronger from hundreds of fails. At low purple levels in the 20's it won't matter too much... but as the grade climbs (and success rates drop) that bonus amount really adds up fast. The difference between MAX and MIN bonus arms is about 5 levels of upgrades for a purple arm (i.e. I could have a G36 arm that is stronger than a G41 someone else has).
