Strengthen Refine & Upgrade

In Ragnarok M: Eternal Love, you will be introduced to 5 kinds of systems for developing equipments. Strengthen, Refine, Upgrade, Slotting and Enchantment. On this page I will explain only 3 types, because Slotting and Echantment will enter the advanced element category, while the other 3 are basic elements.

Strengthen , this is one of the most basic equipment development systems. You will also be taught how to strengthen in the game, but it doesn't hurt me to explain this feature first.

To do strengthen you can talk to the Blacksmith NPC then select strengthen menu or you can access directly from the inventory , on the right side, select tab 2. The following are some explanations about Strengthen:

Strengthen only needs zeny, the higher the level / strengthen level the more expensive zeny must be paid.
The strength does not make the equipments broken / damaged.
Strengthen adds status depending on the type of equipment.
The maximum number of strengths is based on the character's Base Level.
Strengthen can be removed in NPC Furnace and zeny 100% returned. (equipment that still has strengthen cannot be sold at the Market or put into Shared Storage).
Strength level can be moved if you change equipments.
If you change equipment to a higher rarity, then the strengthen level might go down because the strengthen price for equipment rarity is higher, the price is more expensive (zeny is not lost).

Refine , if you have ever played Classic RO on a PC you must be familiar with this system. Different from strengthen, refine is a equipment development system which requires zeny to need mineral stones for every phase of refining.

The status given from the refine may not be much, but many equipment that has effects depends on the refine level on the equipment. Examples like Croce Staff , have an effect:

Healing effect of [Heal] and [Sanctuary] + 4% for every Refine level

With the addition of a very large effect, the refine level needs to be considered.

The method of refine is divided into two ways, namely Normal Refine and Safe Refine .

Normal Refine

How to refine this one is the traditional way of refine, the material used is enough to use Oridecon or Elunium and Zeny for each refine. But after refine level 4 (+4), the chance of producing refine is no longer 100%, so the equipment that you refine is likely to be Broken or Damaged .

The maximum refine level is +15, and some equipment can only be refined to level 10 or +10. For refines above +10, Elunium Enrichment mineral stones and Oridecon Enrichment are needed .

Note: Success rate refines are unknown.

For equipment with this type of Accessory and Headwear can only be refined using Mythrill . Mythrill can only be from the Guild Facility and MVP Raid (daily event).

Tip: If you have 5 Elunium or Oridecon mineral stones in your inventory, you can "double tap" Elunium or Oridecon to make evolution into Elunium / Oridecon Enrichment.

Safe Refine

Different from Normal Refine, Safe Refine will be guaranteed to be 100% successful. But you have to pay more for 100% safe refine. Here are the prices and materials that you need to pay for each safe refine:

+4 → +5: 9 ori / elu | 1 the same equipment | 200,000 zeny
+5 → +6: 10 / elu | 2 the same equipment | 220,000 zeny
+6 → +7: 15 ori / elu | 3 the same equipment | 470,000 zeny
+7 → +8: 25 ori / elu | 4 the same equipment | 910,000 zeny
+8 → +9: 50 ori / elu | 6 same equipment | 1,650,000 zeny
+9 → +10: 85 ori / elu | 10 same equipment | 2,740,000 zeny

Total:

+4 → +10: 194 ori / elu | 26 same equipment | 6,190,000 zeny

Note:

Safe refine is only up to +10.
The same equipment material can be broken.

Broken Equipments

Yes, this is a topic that is very often asked. Broken Equipment occurs when you perform normal refines and fail. If the Ragnarok Classic PC equipment will disappear, in Ragnarok M: Eternal Love equipment will be broken (there is a red hammer icon). But calm down, equipment with broken status can still be used for hunting, there is no reduction in status at all. However, this equipment will not be able to refine before repairing .

For Repair equipment with broken status, just go to the Blacksmith's NPC and select the broken refine equipment and you will be given a menu to repair it. Equipment repair requirements simply pay with the same equipment (may be broken too) or vanilla (polosan).

Pro Tips: Broken Equipments prices are very affordable at the Market!

If you don't have the capital to make equipments, you might try testing luck by trying to follow the Flash Sale broken equipments. The price of broken equipments is very affordable but will always be in Flash Sale.

Upgrade is an increase in equipment levels. If Strength and Refine are an increase of external factors, upgrading is an improvement on the equipment itself. Simply press the "⇧" button in the item description to upgrade, and the list of materials needed to upgrade as shown above.

Each level of upgrading, equipments will be marked with Roman numerals which indicate the level of upgrading or what we usually call Tier Level . Each level of equipment level tier will get additional effects that are unique and different from one to the other equipment.

Next is a spreadsheet on all equipment assemblies and upgrade materials, separated in each episode.

Pro Tips: Final Tier Upgrade Warning!

When you upgrade, at the final level or final tier stage, the equipments will change their name and form. Before upgrading the final tier, there are special conditions that you must pay attention to. Among others:

If there is a refine, the refine will be -2. Example equipment +8 after the final tier upgrade will be +6.
The extra slots that you add from slotting will disappear after upgrading to the final tier!
Enchantment is not lost after upgrading to the final tier.
