Refinement: Difference between revisions

<languages/>

<translate>

Refining gear will grant you additional stats when equipping them. Refine is indicated by a <code>+</code> followed by a number in the beginning of the equipment's name.  

Hollgrehenn is the NPC that can refine. He can be found in many major cities indicated by an anvil icon on the minimap and above the NPC.

== Weapon Refine Bonus ==

Different level weapons and grades provides unique damage bonuses per refine.

'''Note:'''

* '''<code>ATK & MATK per Refine</code>''' and '''<code>P.ATK & S.MATK per Refine</code>''' will be displayed in your status window.  

* '''<code>Bonus ATK & MATK per Refine Over Safety</code>''' will NOT be displayed in your status window.

* If you don't use Blacksmith's Blessings from +10 onwards the equipment will break if the upgrade fails.

== Armor Refine Bonus ==

For clarity, armors refers to not only the body armor equip, but also garments, footgears, shields, and headgears (top).  

Armors provides additional Hard DEF per refine in relation to its current refine by the formula: <code>Floor[( 3 + Current_Refine ) / 4]</code>  

For Lv 2 Armors, this Hard DEF bonus is increased by 120% while also granting 2 RES and MRES per refine.

== Shadow Equipment ==

Shadow Equipment are special equipment which gives their own unique effects per refine:

Shadow Weapons grants +1 ATK & MATK per Refine.

All other Shadow Equipment grants MHP + 10 per Refine.

In addition to minor base stats, Shadow Equipment can also provide bonus effects listed in their description.

You can use the normal refining system or shadow hammers (buyable at Rayja):

* {{#item:23436}}

* {{#item:23926}}

Unlike normal armors, shadow accessories ( Ring and  Pendant) can be refined.

* the UI always shows the correct chances (though 66.5% would be shown as 66% as they UI doesn't know decimals)
