Combinations
To upgrade a weapon you must have both the weapon and have picked up a level of corresponding item. When the weapon is high level enough and you have the item it will be upgraded when you open a chest that drops when you kill a high level evemy.
Axe + Candelabra
Cross + Clover
Fire Wand + Spinach
King Bible + Spellbinder
Knife + Gloves
Magic Wand + Tome
Whip + Hollow Heart
Some items will only appear when you unlock the related achievement:
Candelabra – Get Santa water to Level 4
Spellbinder – Get Runetracer to Level 7
Empty Tome – Hold 6 different weapons at once
Fire wand – Destroy 20 light sources
Clover – Find a clover
Cross – Find a rosary
Power up upgrades
For every power up chosen the cost will go up for the next level and for every other different power up, this makes it that you have to be careful in the order of the upgrades to optimize your coins
Upgrade path on a single skill
Level 0 – base cost
Level 1 – base cost * 2.2
Level 2 – base cost * 3.6
Level 3 – base cost * 5.2
Level 4 – base cost * 7.0
For each level upgraded all other skills will increase the cost by 10% of their base cost * number of levels +1.
Example: Greed at level 2 -> 3 costs 720, if there are three other upgraded power ups then its cost to upgrade to level 3 is:
(200 * (number of levels + 1) * 0.1) * (number of levels in other power ups) + base cost * 3.6
= (200 * 3 * 0.1) * 3 + 720 = 900
This causes that to get better use out of your coins you should upgrade starting with the most expensive cost downwards since the 10% increase in cost is higher in power ups with higher base cost. Since there is no penalty to refunding you can try it for yourself
