Refine System

Overview

• Equipment in XilePK can be 'upgraded' or 'refined' by upgrade NPCs in each major towns to make them more powerful.
• All equipment has a maximum upgrade level of +10, starting from +0.
• +0 items do not have any prefixes, but once they are upgraded, the number of upgrade levels will be displayed on the equipment.

Also, you can turn in Rough Oridecon and Rough Elunium to create single refined Oridecon and Elunium, which are needed for upgrading Lv. 3 / Lv. 4 weapons, items and armors, respectively.

Upgrade Requirements

To upgrade equipment, make sure you have the following:

• Equipment
• Zeny
• Reagent
• Blacksmith Blessing (optional, will preserve gear and upgrade level in case of failure, usable from +5 up to +10)

To start refining, drag the items to be refined from inventory to the square box in the middle. The required ore will appear in the blue hexagon at the top. Blacksmith Blessing (when applicable) will appear in the red hexagon next to the ores. Select the ore to be used by clicking on the appropriate hexagon. You will have the option to use Blacksmith Blessing starting at +5 up to +10. The center blue hexagon will display the ore selected. The red hexagon will display Blacksmith Blessing if you chose to use it for this refine. Please note success rate for the refine will appear at the top of the display while the Zeny cost will be shown next to the Zeny icon at the Refine button. Upgrade Level Blacksmith Blessings Cost +4 > +5 1 +5 > +6 2 +6 > +7 3 +7 > +8 4 +8 > +9 5 +9 > +10 6

Not all item types can be upgraded. The following item types cannot be upgraded:

• Middle and Lower Headgears.
• Accessories.
• Any items that are not equipment.
• Any equipment that specifically says it cannot be upgraded.

Reagents and Cost

• In order to upgrade, you need to provide a reagent in order to upgrade your equipment. Reagent required differs depending on weapon level of the equipment. As for armors, they all take same reagent regardless of type.

• Money taken also differs depending on weapon level of the weapons. For some basic ores , you can craft it in NPC /navi prt_in 60/70 .

Following list shows reagent + money required.

Equipment	Reagent	Cost
Weapon Lv. 1	Phracon	50z
Weapon Lv. 2	Emveretarcon	200z
Weapon Lv. 3	Oridecon	5,000z
Weapon Lv. 4	Oridecon	20,000z
Armor Lv. 1	Elunium	2,000z
WeaponLv. 1-3	Enriched Oridecon	2,000z
Armor Lv. 1	Enriched Elunium	2,000z

Safety Level

The Safety Level is the maximum level of refinement that can be given to equipment with guaranteed success (0% chance of failure). Anything past the safety level has chance to fail, and failure means your equipment will be permanently destroyed, including any cards and other enchantments it may have had. You won't be refunded Zeny and the ore used to upgrade if it fails. Give careful thought before deciding if you want to upgrade a piece of equipment beyond its safety level.

Equipment	Safety Level
Weapon Lv. 1	+7
Weapon Lv. 2	+6
Weapon Lv. 3	+5
Weapon Lv. 4	+4
Armor Lv. 1
Shadow Gear
Armor Lv. 2	+3
Weapon Lv. 5

Originally, the Blacksmith's skill Template:Skill List was believed to add 1% refining chance per skill level (up to 10% at skill level 10) to the Blacksmith. This has been proven to be false. However, the Mastersmith skill Template:Skill List will increase self-weapon refining chance by 0.5% per job level after job 50. At job 70 the smith has a +10% better chance to successfully refine a weapon than an upgrade NPC does.

Breaking Protection

The more you get beyond the safety level, the higher are the chances that your equipment gets permanently destroyed, along with its cards or other enchantments. However, items are available that allow you to upgrade items without risk of permanently losing the item.

High Density Oridecon, Elunium, Carnium & Bradium

During an upgrade attempt using HD Oridecon, HD Elunium, HD Carnium or HD Bradium upgrade failure will only degrade the item by 1 refine level instead of breaking. You can find these ores at the Cash Shop as well as the Mining Event

Safe to +7 and +10 Certificates

Between +4 and +7 you may upgrade without risk of breaking OR degrading, at a cost of Safe To+7 or +10 Certificate of the appropriate type, and one Elunium or Oridecon. This is most recommended to use on Shadow Equiments.

Safe To 7 Certificates can be obtained from Eve Natalia at the Eden Group ( moc_para01 50, 39 ) by exchanging certain MvP gears.

Safe To 10 Certificates can be gotten randomly from ticket box at PVE Coin shop.

• These upgrades can be performed by Mighty Hammer. (prt_in 59, 54)
• On a success, item gains 1 refine level, on a failure, only the certificate and ore is lost.
• The success rate is the same as normal upgrades.
• Safe ticket or refining ticket does not work with Weapon Lv 5 or Armor Lv 2.

Blacksmith Blessings

You will have the option to use Blacksmith Blessing to avoid breaking or degrading your gear in case of a failed refine attempt. This is most recommended to use on Shadow Equiments. These can be obtained from the NPC [ VP Machine ] at ( Prontera 160, 216 )

Upgrade Level	Required Blacksmith Blessing per attempt
+7 -> +8	1
+8 -> +9	2
+9 -> +10	4
+10 -> +11	7
+11 -> +12	11
+12 -> +13	16
+13 -> +14	22
+14 -> +15	50
+15 -> +16	100
+16 -> +17	200
+17 -> +18	400

Blessed Oridecon / Elunium

Just like a Blacksmith Blessing, these ores will protect your gears from breaking or degrading. In addition you will only need one piece to refine any gear between +6 and +13. The success rate of these ores are the same as normal upgrades. These ores can be found at the Cash Shop or can be crafted from Miner Profession System.

• Note blessed ores works on shadow armors but with a LOWER rate.
