THE BASICS

Refining equipment is a method of upgrading your equipment without having to replace it. In every major city, The Elder has the ability to 'Refine Equipment' for you. The only required items to refine a piece of equipment are Mirage Celestones. You will need two stones for weapons and one stone for armor. As your equipment is upgraded, it will gain a specific effect depending on the type of equipment.
The higher the upgrade, the more difficult it becomes to refine again. Starting from level 1, your success is not guaranteed. If you fail an upgrade, your item returns to level 0 unless you use a special item.

Normal Weapons - Physical Attack Upgrade
