Grade Enhancing

Equipment Grades

The grading system is the latest method to further strengthen your gears. When an equipment is graded, it will have distinctive features for the level of grade.

Grading serves 4 main purposes:

1. Acquire grade-specific bonuses from an equipment. These bonuses are cumulative.
2. Acquire grade-specific bonuses from a card.
3. Alters enchant tables of enchants.
4. Increase stats gained from refine.

Each grade has a certain percentage bonus compared to an ungraded item. Refer to the Refinement page for exact values.

Additional Refine Bonus per Grade	Weapons
Grade D	10% Increase in ATK & MATK from refine bonus
Grade C	30% Increase in ATK & MATK from refine bonus
Grade B	50% Increase in ATK & MATK from refine bonus
Grade A	100% Increase in ATK & MATK from refine bonus
