Most upgrades are limited to 25 levels, except for physical and magical damage which go up to 50 levels.
This upgrade cap can be increased by Forge Level up to double (40 and 100 levels respectively).
I don't understand this
You can only put so many bindings on a piece of equipment.
Physical and magical damage can be upgraded with bindings 50 times, all other stats can be upgraded 25 times.
Everytime you put some bindings on your equipment your forge level goes up, every level means you can upgrade stats one extra time, up to double the amount at forge level 0.
Physical and magical damage can be upgraded 100 times at max forge level, the other stats 50 times.

Okay.
So after, maximizing the crushing mitigation ability , slashing or piercing mitigation are equally useful abilities for a heavy armor user (ie HV monsters use slashing or piercing attacks about equally)?
Nobody knows for sure, but it doesn't matter that much anyway. Most of your slashing/piercing mitigation comes from your armor, just don't buy deflection/stoneskin.
