Ranking and Grading

In the Tower weapons, Inventory-Items, Wand, Pockets, Lighthouses, Mobiles and even the different skills mastered by Rankers and Regulars are all given ranks according to their level.

Both Rank and Grade are used in this relation and bear the same meaning.

We do not yet know who or how these ranks are decided. But it is safe to assume that a ranker's or a regular's ranking will change as he/she gains strength and obtains more skills.

The Levels of Ranks
The ranking system goes from SS+ as the highest and down to 10F as the lowest. The scaling goes as following:

SS+ > S+ > 1S - 10S > 1A - 10A > 1B - 10B > 1C - 10C > 1D - 10D > 1E - 10E > 1F - 10F

It is assumed that any Ranker's final Grade being above A makes them a High Ranker.

Known Examples of Ranked Skills of High Rankers, Rankers and Regulars:
Just a few examples:

High Rankers:

 * Yu Han Sung overall 8A
 * Yu Han Sung Intelligence 2A
 * Yu Han Sung Shinsoo Control 7A
 * Yu Han Sung Shinsoo Resistance 4C
 * Yu Han Sung Physical Ability 8E

Rankers:

 * Lero-Ro overall 10B
 * Lo Po Bia Ren overall 10B
 * Mule Love overall 2C
 * Quant overall 5C

Regulars:
Note that all regulars who pass the tests on the 20th Floor automatically become E-Ranked.
 * Androssi Zahard overall 6E (in Part 1 )
 * Anak Zahard overall 10E (in Part 1 )
 * Koon Agero Agnis overall 3F (in Part 1)
 * Phonsekal Laure overall 5F (in Part 1 )
 * Hatsu overall 7F (in Part 1 )
 * Rak Wraithraiser overall 7F (in Part 1 )
 * Hong Chunhwa overall 7F (in Part 1)
 * Ship Leesoo overall 8F (in Part 1 )
 * Sunwoo Nare overall 9F (in Part 1)
 * Parakewl overall 10F (in Part 1)

Known Examples of Ranked Weapons and Other Items:
It is also unknown how weapons and other items are ranked but it might be linked partly to the quality of raw materials used. For example: the Lighthouse used by Regulars in Part 1, was made of low purity Suspendium, so it was incapable of floating. However, one of Hatsu's swords was capable of floating.

In the case of wands, it is known that the wands contract is one of the main factors in determining the final rank of the wand. A-Ranked weapons and items are extremely rare, to such an extent that even rankers seldomly own them. And only a High-Ranker can be expected to own more then one. To illustrate just how rare A-Rank Weapons/Items are one may notice that neither Lero-Ro, Lo Po Bia Ren or Quant own a single one.
 * White Oar the only S+ Rank weapon in the Tower (a Sword)
 * Golden November a S-Rank weapon (weapon type unknown).
 * Black March a A-Rank Needle ( w hen ignited ).
 * Green April a 7B-Rank Hook (most likely A-Rank when ignited)
 * Narumada a 7D-Rank Sword.
 * Carrier: Of the 10 Carriers which were created, 3 are A-Rank and 7 are B-rank. Adori Zahard owns 1.
 * Vagnil: A spear which can be used as a bow (probably D-rank or C-rank), turns into a B-rank when ignited.
 * Opera: Rank currently unknown but likely S-Rank., considering it's the highest grade Lighthouse in the Tower.

Notes and Trivia
Notice that it seems as if the normal numeric system is not used for S or higher rank weapons. Maybe because there are so few S or higher rank weapons.

Since all regulars receives an E-Grade pocket when entering the tower, it seem safe to assume that E is the lowest kind of pockets.
