Refinement System

Intro

*You can make your equipment stronger by Refining it. Max refine level is set to +14 for Regular equipment. Max refine level is set to +10 for Shadow equipment. Only Refining Master in Workshop can refine your items. You need special refine materials to refine, it's not guaranteed success, see refine level table. Higher refine level triggers equipment bonuses and comes with refine bonuses.

Refine Level Table

ATK, MATK, P.ATK and S.MATK per Refine will be displayed in your status window. Random bonus ATK and MATK per Refine will NOT be displayed in your status window. All damage bonuses are cumulative for the total refine. Graded Weapons gives extra ATK / MATK per refine bonus. Armors gives an accumulating Hard DEF bonus per refine in relation to its current refine by the formula: Floor[( 3 + Current_Refine ) / 4] For Lv 2 Armors, this Hard DEF bonus is increased by 120% while also granting 2 RES and MRES per refine. Shadow Weapons grants +1 ATK & MATK per Refine. All other Shadow Equipment grants MHP + 10 per Refine.
