Grading serves 4 main purposes:
- Acquire grade-specific bonuses from an equipment. These bonuses are cumulative.
- Acquire grade-specific bonuses from a card.
- Alters enchant tables of enchants.
- 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.
