How to properly refine your gear
How to properly refine your gear?
This is not a rule, it's just the way I used to refine my gears. You can find your own way.
Here are some tips on how to refine your equipments.
General tips:
- Time Gap Weapons has a Refine Box.
- Dimensions Weapons has a Refine Box.
- Dimensions Crowns has NOT a Refine Box.
- Nebula Armors has NOT a Refine box.
- Use Speed Refine from NPC Leona. It cost 10k+ for each refine but it is really faster than going one by one.
Armor

Refine and Grade
Let's use some examples of how a refine goes:
How to refine an armor like 
Moan of Corruption [1] (470204) :
| Moan of Corruption | ||
|---|---|---|
| Grade | Refine | Description |
| No grade | Go from 0 to +9 using Etherium (1000331) . You can grade to D now.
|
Bring a lot of Etherium. It can take a lot to succeed. Also choose Speed Refine option from NPC Leona. |
| Grade D | Go from 0 to +10 using Etherium (1000331) . You can grade to C now.
|
Same as before. |
| Grade C | Go from 0 to +10 using Etherium (1000331) . Now you need 1 HD Etherium (1000335) and 4 Blacksmith's Blessing (6635) for each attempt to +11. You can also use  MVP Equip Refine Hammer (50052) consuming 14 Blacksmith's Blessing (6635) for a safe +11. You can grade to B now.
|
You can choose whichever option you want to get to +11. Remember that if you choose HD Etherium, after 4 failed attempts the hammer option becomes cheaper. |
| Grade B | Same as Grade C process. You can grade to A now. | Same as Grade C process. |
| Grade A | Same as Grade C. When it's +11, you need 7 Blacksmith's Blessing (6635) for each attempt.
|
Here I say: use the MVP Equip Refine Hammer (50052) to get to +12. It's cheaper than relying on RNG luck.
