TotK Armor Upgrade Calculator: Materials and Rupees 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. Every piece’s materials at each star are in the armor upgrade materials table; 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. Headpieces such as circlets and earrings are under “Single pieces”.
3. The totals appear underneath: every material, most needed first, and the rupees. Materials with their own page link to where to farm them.

How many rupees does each upgrade cost?

At a Great Fairy Fountain, every star of every piece costs rupees plus materials. Each fountain you open unlocks one more star, so four stars needs all four Great Fairies; Tera is the first you can open (where they are and how to open them).

The one exception is the Ancient Hero’s Aspect: 30, 150, 600 and 1,500 rupees, 2,280 for that piece alone. Upgrading all 103 upgradable pieces to four stars costs 79,800 rupees.

How many stars does a set bonus need?

A set bonus switches on once all three pieces of the set are 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 Mystic, Tingle, Phantom, Evil Spirit, Dark and Archaic sets. The Great Fairies cannot enhance them, so their defense stays at its base value.

For which sets to upgrade first, see the best armor. Many of the higher-star materials come from Lynels; see Lynel farming.
