Your Gear Score represents the overall power of your character and is a total of the individual Gear Scores of your currently equipped weapon, armor and accessories. Each level has a recommended Gear Score, and you may not be allowed entry if you do not meet a minimum requirement. To increase your Gear Score, obtain better equipment from drops or tributes. Items with a higher minimum level and of higher rarity usually have higher Gear Score values. You can fuse unneeded items to improve items you wish to keep to slowly increase their Gear Score.
