__NOTOC__
Refinement is one of the most important equipment enhancement systems in Ragnarok Online. By refining weapons and armor, you can significantly increase their stats. However, refinement comes with risk — failure can destroy or downgrade your equipment.

== Overview ==

Refinement increases:
* '''Weapons:''' ATK bonus based on weapon level
* '''Armor:''' DEF and HP bonuses
* '''Shadow Equipment:''' Various bonuses depending on the item

The maximum refinement level is '''+20''' for most equipment, though practical limits are often much lower due to the risk involved.

== Safe Refine Limits ==

Equipment can be safely refined up to certain levels with no risk of failure:

{| class="wikitable"
! Equipment Type !! Safe Limit
|-
| Level 1 Weapon || +7
|-
| Level 2 Weapon || +6
|-
| Level 3 Weapon || +5
|-
| Level 4 Weapon || +4
|-
| Level 5 Weapon (4th Job) || +3
|-
| Armor (Level 1) || +4
|-
| Armor (Level 2 / 4th Job) || +3
|-
| Shadow Equipment || +4
|}

{{Note|Refining within safe limits has a 100% success rate using any ore type.}}

== Refinement Materials ==

Different equipment types require different materials:

=== Weapons ===

{| class="wikitable"
! Weapon Level !! Normal Ore !! Cost !! Notes
|-
| Level 1 || Phracon || 50z || Common drops, very affordable
|-
| Level 2 || Emveretarcon || 200z || —
|-
| Level 3 || Oridecon || 5,000z || Refined from rough ores
|-
| Level 4 || Oridecon || 20,000z || Higher cost per attempt
|-
| Level 5 (4th Job) || Etherdeocon || 50,000z || Special 4th job ore
|}

=== Armor ===

{| class="wikitable"
! Armor Level !! Normal Ore !! Cost
|-
| Level 1 || Elunium || 2,000z
|-
| Level 2 (4th Job) || Ethernium || 50,000z
|}

=== High Refinement (+11 and above) ===

{| class="wikitable"
! Equipment Type !! Normal Ore !! HD Ore !! Cost
|-
| Weapons (Lv1-4) || Bradium || HD Bradium || 100,000z
|-
| Weapons (Lv5 / 4th Job) || Etel Bradium || HD Etherdeocon / HD Etel Bradium || 100,000z
|-
| Armor (Lv1) || Carnium || HD Carnium || 100,000z
|-
| Armor (Lv2 / 4th Job) || Etel Carnium || HD Ethernium / HD Etel Carnium || 100,000z
|}

== Enhanced Materials ==

=== Enriched Ores ===

Enriched materials provide significantly higher success rates:

{| class="wikitable"
! Ore !! Used For !! Improvement
|-
| Enriched Oridecon || Weapons +1 to +10 || +30-50% higher success rate
|-
| Enriched Elunium || Armor +1 to +10 || +30-50% higher success rate
|-
| Enriched Etherdeocon || Level 5 Weapons +1 to +10 || Higher success rate, less downgrade
|-
| Enriched Ethernium || Level 2 Armor +1 to +10 || Higher success rate, less downgrade
|}

{{Note|Enriched ores still result in item destruction on failure for +1 to +10 refinement.}}

=== HD (High Density) Ores ===

HD ores prevent item destruction but cause downgrades on failure:

{| class="wikitable"
! Ore !! Used For !! Failure Effect
|-
| HD Oridecon || Weapons +1 to +10 || -1 refine level (no destruction)
|-
| HD Elunium || Armor +1 to +10 || -1 refine level (no destruction)
|-
| HD Bradium || Weapons +11 to +20 || -1 refine level
|-
| HD Carnium || Armor +11 to +20 || -1 refine level
|}

{{Tip|HD ores are ideal for expensive or rare equipment since you won't lose the item on failure.}}

=== Blacksmith Blessing ===

Blacksmith Blessing can be used to guarantee success at certain refine levels. The number required increases with refinement:

{| class="wikitable"
! Refine Level !! Blessings Required
|-
| +8 || 1
|-
| +9 || 2
|-
| +10 || 4
|-
| +11 || 7
|-
| +12 || 11
|-
| +13 || 16
|-
| +14 || 22
|}

{{Warning|Blacksmith Blessings are not available for +15 and above.}}

== Success Rates ==

=== Armor (Level 1) ===

{| class="wikitable"
! Refine !! Normal !! Enriched !! HD !! Failure Effect
|-
| +1 to +4 || 100% || 100% || 100% || Safe
|-
| +5 || 60% || 90% || 60% || Destroy / -1
|-
| +6 || 40% || 70% || 40% || Destroy / -1
|-
| +7 || 40% || 70% || 40% || Destroy / -1
|-
| +8 || 20% || 40% || 20% || Destroy / -1
|-
| +9 || 20% || 40% || 20% || Destroy / -1
|-
| +10 || 9% || 20% || 9% || Destroy / -1
|-

|}

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| +1 || +1 || +1.2
|-
| +2 || +2 || +2.4
|-
| +3 || +3 || +3.6
|-
| +4 || +4 || +4.8
|-
| +5 || +6 || +7.2
|-
| +6 || +8 || +9.6

| +10 || +18 || +21.6
|-
| +15 || +36 || +43.2
|-
| +20 || +60 || +72
|}

== Server Broadcasts ==

High refinement successes and failures are broadcast server-wide:

* '''+13 and above:''' Both success and failure messages are broadcast
* This applies to weapons, armor, and shadow equipment

{{Note|This is a great way to celebrate (or commiserate) with the community!}}

== Refine NPCs ==

Visit the '''Refinery''' in [[Heaven|Main Office]] (<code>@go main</code>) to find:

* '''Standard Refiner''' — Uses normal ores
* '''HD Refiner''' — Uses HD ores (no destruction)
* '''Enriched Refiner''' — Uses enriched ores

== Tips for Refinement ==

{{Tip|
* Always start with safe refines — they cost nothing but ores and zeny
* Use HD ores on expensive or rare equipment to avoid total loss
* Save Enriched ores for the +7 to +10 range where they have the biggest impact
* Consider Blacksmith Blessings for guaranteed success on valuable items
* +10 is often enough for most builds — going higher is a gamble
}}

{{Warning|Refinement can be addictive! Set a budget and stick to it. Don't refine gear you can't afford to lose.}}
