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 success rate table. Higher refine level triggers equipment bonuses and comes with refine bonuses.
