    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

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

    Refinement Materials

    Different equipment types require different materials:

    Weapons

    Weapon Level Normal Ore Cost Notes
    Level 1 1010.png Phracon (#1010) 50z Common drops, very affordable
    Level 2 1011.png Emveretarcon (#1011) 200z —
    Level 3 984.png Oridecon (#984) 5,000z Refined from 756.png Rough Oridecon (#756)
    Level 4 984.png Oridecon (#984) 20,000z Higher cost per attempt
    Level 5 (4th Job) 1000332.png Etherdeocon (#1000332) 50,000z Special 4th job ore

    Armor

    Armor Level Normal Ore Cost
    Level 1 985.png Elunium (#985) 2,000z
    Level 2 (4th Job) 1000333.png Ethernium (#1000333) 50,000z

    High Refinement (+11 and above)

    Equipment Type Normal Ore HD Ore Cost
    Weapons (Lv1-4) 6224.png Bradium (#6224) 6226.png HD Bradium (#6226) 100,000z
    Weapons (Lv5 / 4th Job) 1000368.png Etel Bradium (#1000368) 1000336.png HD Etherdeocon (#1000336) / 1000369.png HD Etel Bradium (#1000369) 100,000z
    Armor (Lv1) 6223.png Carnium (#6223) 6225.png HD Carnium (#6225) 100,000z
    Armor (Lv2 / 4th Job) 1000367.png Etel Carnium (#1000367) 1000335.png HD Ethernium (#1000335) / 1000370.png HD Etel Carnium (#1000370) 100,000z

    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

    ℹī¸ 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
    +8 1
    +9 2
    +10 4
    +11 7
    +12 11
    +13 16
    +14 22

    ⚠ī¸ Warning: Blacksmith Blessings are not available for +15 and above.

    Refinement Bonuses

    +1 +2 +3 +5 +7
    +2 +4 +6 +10 +14
    +3 +6 +9 +15 +21

    ℹī¸ Note: High-level weapons (+8 and above) also gain a random bonus ATK that increases with refinement.

    +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

    ℹī¸ Note: This is a great way to celebrate (or commiserate) with the community!

    Refine NPCs

    Visit the Refinery in Main Office (@go main) 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

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