Where
The refiner Ferra works in 3 towns, and each town refines up to a different limit.
| Town | Highest refine |
|---|---|
| Sandport | +7 |
| Greenvale | +7 |
| Elderwood | +8 |
Open the refine window and pick equipment from your bag. To refine higher you will have to wait for the next town to open.
Rules
- The odds for each step are shown before you confirm, and they are the same numbers the server really uses
- It costs Gold and ore: Rough Ore (steps 1–6) and Gleaming Ore (steps 7–10). Steps 1–4 always succeed; from step 5 the odds fall from 90% to 20% at +10
- A failure drops the item 1 step. It never breaks or disappears. There is no real-money protection item
- A Guard Charm (bought with Gold, or from the Prize Booth) stops the drop on a failure but is used up
- Artisan-line jobs get a bonus to the success chance
Where to get ore
Rough Ore drops from monsters and can be crafted by Tobin the Craftsman. Gleaming Ore drops from bosses or is crafted from several materials. See Crafting and the Prize Booth.
What to refine
Weapons first, since they raise ATK/MATK directly. Refine armor and shields once you start taking real damage. Cheap Rank C gear is fine for learning the system. Do not sink a lot into a weapon you plan to replace soon; see the Weapon Path.
