    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:

    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

    ℹ️ Note: Refining within safe limits has a 100% success rate using any ore type.

    Obtaining Refinement Materials

    Purchase from NPCs

    Basic ores can be purchased directly from Blacksmith NPCs:

    Item Price NPC Location
    1010.png Phracon (#1010) 200z Christopher Guillenrow Geffen (geffen_in 110,172)
    1010.png Phracon (#1010) 200z Paul Spanner Einbroch (ein_in01 38,29)
    1010.png Phracon (#1010) 200z Dietrich Prontera (prt_in 63,69)

    1011.png Emveretarcon (#1011) 1,000z Dietrich Prontera (prt_in 63,69)

    Enhanced Materials

    Enriched Ores

    Enriched materials provide significantly higher success rates:

    Ore Used For Improvement
    7619.png Enriched Oridecon (#7619) Weapons +1 to +10 +30-50% higher success rate
    7620.png Enriched Elunium (#7620) Armor +1 to +10 +30-50% higher success rate
    1000334.png Enriched Etherdeocon (#1000334) Level 5 Weapons +1 to +10 Higher success rate, less downgrade
    1000331.png Enriched Ethernium (#1000331) Level 2 Armor +1 to +10 Higher success rate, less downgrade

    ℹ️ 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:

    Ore Used For Failure Effect
    6240.png HD Oridecon (#6240) Weapons +1 to +10 -1 refine level (no destruction)
    6241.png HD Elunium (#6241) Armor +1 to +10 -1 refine level (no destruction)
    6226.png HD Bradium (#6226) Weapons +11 to +20 -1 refine level
    6225.png HD Carnium (#6225) 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

    6635.png Blacksmith Blessing (#6635) can be used to guarantee success at certain refine levels. The number required increases with refinement:

    Refine Level Blessings Required

    +9 2
    +10 4
    +11 7
    +12 11

    Tips for Refinement

    • 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
    • Farm Etel Dust from Episode 18+ content for 4th job materials

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