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

Note:

• ATK & MATK per Refine and P.ATK & S.MATK per Refine will be displayed in your status window.
• Bonus ATK & MATK per Refine Over Safety will NOT be displayed in your status window.
• Over Safety is defined as refine levels below 100.00% probabilty using Normal Ore
• All damage bonuses are cumulative for the total refine.
• Lvl 2 Armors and Lvl 5 Weapons don t break if you fail an upgrade below +10
• If you don't use Blacksmith's Blessings from +10 onwards the equipment will break if the upgrade fails.

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: Floor[( 3 + Current_Refine ) / 4]

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

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):

• Hollgrehenn's Shadow Refine Hammer (23436)
• Shadow 9 Refine Hammer (23926)

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

Each time you fail at the refiner, your chance for your next attempt with same equipment typ, level and refine will be increased.

Increase for every fail is 10% of base chance for refine level of up to +12, 5% base chance after +12

(e.g for an item +11 the base chance is 20% so 10% of it are 2% pity per refine attempt)

upon success on the unique combination of type,level,refine the bonus chance gets removed again.

you can have multiple bonus chances for various combinations at once

these pity attempts are saved per character

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

(A +11 item with 2x pity attempts)

For any refinement at any refinement NPC a pity system is in place:

• each time you fail at the refiner, your chance for your next attempt with same equipment type, level and refine will be increased
• increase for every fail is 10% of base chance for refine level of up to +12, 5% of base chance after +12. (Note: base chance in increased for ores using the special chances)
• upon success on the unique combination of type, level, refine the bonus chance gets removed again
• you can have mutiple bonus chances for various combinations at once
• these pity attempts are saved per character
• the UI always shows the correct chances (though 66.5% would be shown as 66% as they UI doesn't know decimals)

Example: You fail refining a level 1 armor with elunium from 5 to 6 (70%) and afterwards from 4 to 5 (90%).
Your success chance on the next attempt for a level 1 armor refining from 4 to 5 will be 99% and from 5 to 6 it will be 77%.

Talk to Refine Master NPC next to the Anvil House in Prontera (prontera 189, 175) to use Guarantee Refine Certificate which will refine your equipment to designated number at 100% chance.

• Certificates are account-bound, but players can utilize the Refine Certificate Packager to make them tradable.
• Shadow Equipment, Lv 5 Weapons, and Lv 2 Armors CANNOT use Guarantee Refine Certificate due to their unique refine system.
• Players can craft Weapon Guarentee Refine Certificates by converting Crimson, Thanatos, and Vicious Mind weapons with  Weapon Refinement Hammers bought in Paramarket.
• Players can combine lower refine Weapon Guarentee Certificates into higher ones in Paramarket.
• Certificates are specific to either Weapons or Armors. Following Certificates are available:

Please have a look at our guide to create Refine Certificates

Some equipment can be safely refined from +9 to +12 using a box or hammer. Each use will consume the hammer/box.
It also may have materials to be consumed when using it. You can skip the hammer/box until grade C, since it doesn't break until +10 and +11 is required only from grade C to A.

Upgrade line: +9 to +10; +10 to +11; +11 to +12. (except Ep21 hammer)

Some hammers can be bought with MC Hammer.

NOTE: Nebula armors and Time Dimensions Rune Crowns DOES NOT have a hammer or box to refine. You have to use BSB.
