Refining

Refining is a mechanic in the game that allows you to upgrade your armor, primarily increasing it's durability before it is needed for repairs. The higher the refinement level, the less likely for it to succeed.

A single piece of equipment can have up to 5 levels of refinement (#####). Randomly, there is a low chance that any equipment can be found at refinement level 1 (loot from defeating monsters/bosses, opening treasure chests, etc). Only head, tail, gloves and anklets can be refined with refining materials.

A single successful refinement adds the equivalent of 1 Armor on a piece of equipment. Only your main hand glove receives an attack/magic increase (adds 1 attack/magic x refinement level). Each refinement level adds 20% more durability (about 280 points).

A failed refinement has a chance to either stay at the same refinement level, or drop the current refining level by 1. It does not destroy the equipment.

Where can refining materials be found

Bosses and treasure chests usually drop refining materials. The final chest at the end of the Everchange Caverns and the Tunnels of Illusion has a guaranteed chance to drop ferrites.

• Pure Ferrites are used to refine equipment (can only refine to a max of 4). This is the most common refining material.
• Enriched Ferrite is an uncommon refining material used to refine equipment (to a max of 4). This has a higher success rate than Pure Ferrite.
• Pure Orchidon is a rare refining material used to refine equipment (to a max of 5). This has a higher success rate than Enriched Ferrite.
