BotW Armor Upgrade Calculator: Every Material for Any Set

How many materials will it take to max out the sets you wear? Tick them below and the calculator adds up every star, piece by piece, from the game’s own data. Every piece’s materials at each star are in armor upgrade materials; defense and where to find each piece are in the all armor table.

How do I use the calculator?

1. Pick the current star and the target star. It starts from not upgraded to ★★★★.
2. Tick a set name to take its head, body and legs pieces, or tick only some of them. Circlets, earrings, the Divine Helms and other one-off pieces are under “Single pieces”.
3. The totals appear underneath: every material, most needed first.

Do upgrades cost rupees?

No. In Breath of the Wild the Great Fairies take only materials when they enhance armor. Rupees go into restoring the fountains, and the price follows the order you restore them in, not which fairy it is. Each fountain restored opens one more star (locations and costs).

How many stars does a set bonus need?

For a set with a bonus, wear all three pieces with each at ★★ or higher. If the bonus is all you want, set the target to ★★; it takes far fewer materials than maxing out.

Which armor is not in the calculator?

Armor that cannot be upgraded is left out: the Gerudo, Dark, Phantom, Royal Guard, Phantom Ganon and Salvager sets and Tingle’s Outfit. The Ancient set row holds the helm, cuirass and greaves; the four Divine Helms are under “Single pieces”.

For which sets to upgrade first, see the best armor. Lynel and dragon parts show up in many of the higher stars; see Lynel farming and dragon parts.
