How much ore does it take to max out one piece of equipment?

It depends on rarity. A Common equipment goes to level 18 and an Epic equipment to level 27, so Epic pieces cost far more ore and also require Starry Ore. Each equipment page lists its exact total.

Which ore do Hero Equipment upgrades use?

Shiny Ore, Glowy Ore and Starry Ore. Shiny Ore is used at every level, Glowy Ore at regular intervals, and Starry Ore only by Epic equipment.

Why can I not upgrade my equipment any further?

Each equipment level has a Blacksmith level requirement. Upgrade the Blacksmith to lift the cap; every level row on these pages shows the Blacksmith level it needs.

How long does an equipment upgrade take?

Hero Equipment upgrades complete instantly. Ore is the only cost, so there is no build time and no Gem boost involved.
