U-Grade or ULTIMATE is the highest tier of obtainable equipment and items. It was introduced in the update to the Global Servers on January 19th, 2016. U-Grade equipment is only obtainable through the Deus Ragnarok Raid and its Raid Shop. The equipment stats and options are superior to regular SSS grade. They also possess special weapon effects, which influence the normal attacks of the wielder. The received weapon effects from the Raid drops or its shop are completely random. They can be enhanced up to 9 times, unlike SSS grade equipment which reaches the MAX enhance state at 8.
