Editing Awakening

'''Awakening''' is a process to further improve gear or units in some {{Main Series}} games.

=={{DQStars}}==
===Awakening===
In {{DQStars}} , Awakening can only be performed on items that have been evolved to the maximum (*4). This process usually changes or upgrades the weapon's subslot, unlock a new EX skill and give the weapon a blue glow.
In specific cases, Awakening can only be done as straight upgrade over [[Alchemy]], but in most cases it's an alternative path.

===Polishing===
In the Japanese version of the game, select gear like [[Erdrick's Sword]] or the {{Dragovian sword}} can get even more upgraded after awakening by getting polished. Using special items for this process, players can increase the polish value randomly by 1-3, and when these weapons reach certain thresholds they unlock new visual effects (they glow more), unlock new skills and improve their sub-slots.

=={{DQTact}}==
In {{DQTact}}, Awakening gives units a permanent stats boost, and either a new skill, an upgraded resistance or an increase in the potency of the unit's signature moves. Each character can be awakened up to 5 times.
There are a few ways to awaken in Tact: 
*Getting a duplicate, if the unit is from a gacha banner.
*Getting a certain number of duplicates, if the unit is farmeable.
*Using Awakening Crystals, which can also be obtained in a number of ways.
