Equipment Refinement

⚒

⚒ Equipment Refinement

Refinement increases the power of weapons and armor by consuming ores, catalysts, and Zeny. Equipment starts at +0 and the main progression path reaches +10. The old idea of a completely safe early refine range no longer applies: even low refines carry destruction risk.

⚠️

No True Safe Range

Early refine can still destroy the item.

Refinement Reality

When an item breaks, the equipment is permanently destroyed. Cards, enchants, refine level, and invested materials are lost. The percentage tables below are the main decision point of this system and should be checked before refining valuable gear.

+9 → +10 Catalyst Requirement

The final step to +10 requires an additional catalyst. This is intentional: +10 is no longer just another ore click — it is the final commitment point of the refinement path.

Armor +9 → +10

Elunium

Carnium

Carnium is consumed as the additional high-grade catalyst for armor refinement.

Oridecon

Bradium

Bradium is consumed as the additional high-grade catalyst for weapon refinement.

+3 → +4	95%	5%	Old safe range is gone; cards and enchants are at risk.
+4 → +5	60%	40%	Standard Elunium refine risk.
+5 → +6	40%	60%	High destruction pressure.
+6 → +7	40%	60%	Commit only on replaceable or prepared gear.

Weapon ATK / MATK Bonus Reference

Every refine level adds Base ATK. After the old threshold levels, Over Upgrade bonus adds random bonus ATK per hit (minimum 0, not shown in Status Window). At +16 and above, High Upgrade ATK is added. All bonuses are cumulative.

• Will not break the item — may lower refine
• Only consumed when you confirm the refine
• Works on equipped gear only

💠 HD Oridecon & Elunium

HD Oridecon

HD Elunium

From Thor's Flame. Only usable at +7 and above. On failure: item degrades by 1 level only instead of breaking.

HD Carnium and HD Bradium follow the same logic for the high-grade path when enabled by the server.
