Refinement System

The Refinement System is an upgrade system where artifacts, armor, and weapons can be improved through the use of special materials.

How To Refine Items

Refining equipment and artifacts can be done at the Blacksmith in Nevaris.

Each type of refinement requires a specific material:

• Weapons require Vulkanite.
• Armor require Gravion.
• Artifacts require Lunaris.

In addition to a material cost, there is also a Gold cost that will increase as the item's level increases.

Benefits

Refininging an item increases it's refinement level. For each level an item gains it will gain various benefits, depending on the type of item.

• All items with X per Refine gain the corresponding benefit per refinement level of the item.
• Armor gains additional Defense and Magic Defense.
• Weapons gain additional Attack and Magical Attack.
• Artifacts have an innate Refine bonus per Refine level.
• Certain Cards also have a refinement benefit per Refine level

Note that while the refinement level does improve an item's basic qualities it does not affect the following:

• All randomly rolled stats do not gain any additional levels of improvement, including the main Primary Stat of the item.
• Benefits that Cards provide, with a few exceptions.
• Utility equipment does not gain any benefits to being refined.

Refinement Levels

Whenever an item is refined it will receive an numerical update to it's name, signifying that the item has a certain refinement level.

Example Refinement Levels
+1 Novice Boots
+9 Stormpiercer

All items start at zero when obtained, and can gain a total of nine refinement levels.

Refinement Costs

Refinement is not a free process, and depending on the level of the item there will be different requirements.

• A material cost for refining the item, with further upgrades requiring a better refinement material.
• A Gold cost that increases overtime for each additional refinment level.
• With the exception of +0, all levels have a chance to fail an upgrade, downgrading it's refinement level by one level.
  • A material of higher quality can be used to ensure that the item's level is not downgraded, but does not affect the failure change.

Refinement +1 - +6

Example Refinement Levels
Level	Gold	Failure %
+1	0	100%
+2	500	90%
+3	1000	80%
