Ragnarok Pinas: Refine System

How refining works

Talk to any town refiner: Hollgrehenn (Prontera), Aragham (Morroc), Antonio (Payon), Fredrik (Alberta), Lambert (Juno), Manthasman (Einbroch) or Fulerr (Lighthalzen). They all open the refine window. When you put an item in, your chat box shows the required ore, the fee, the success rate, your optional extras and what the next level unlocks.

Required

Normal ore + zeny

Every attempt uses 1 normal ore and the zeny fee. Phracon for Lv1 weapons, Emveretarcon for Lv2, Oridecon for Lv3/Lv4, Elunium for armor.

Optional

Safety ore

Panday, Enriched or HD ore turns a break into a level loss. It never raises the success rate, and it is used together with the normal ore.

Optional

Pinas Refine Guard

Tick it for a +8, +9 or +10 attempt. It holds the item at its level most of the time, and a guarded item never breaks.

Reward

Bonus stats

The first time an item reaches +5, +7 and +9 it gains a Low, Mid and High bonus stat.

No safe zone. With the normal ore alone, a failed attempt destroys the item and its cards, at every level from +1 to +10. You can always refine with the normal ore alone; the extras are there if you don't want to risk it.

The refine window

Put the item in, pick the ore (and tick the Guard if you want it), then press Refine. The window plays the result for you.

Refine window with an item placed and the Guard available — **Ready**Item placed. Choose an ore; the Guard slot lights up for +8 to +10.

Refine window showing a successful refine — **Success**The item goes up one level. A bonus stat is added at the first +5, +7 and +9.

Refine window showing a failed refine — **Failure**Breaks, drops a level, or is held by the Guard, depending on what you chose.

Success rates

The chance to reach each level, in %. It is the same for every ore: safety ores and the Guard only change what happens when it fails.

Item	+1	+2	+3	+4	+5	+6	+7	+8	+9	+10
Armor	95	90	80	70	55	45	35	25	15	5

Weapon Lv4	95	85	75	70	50	40	30	20	12	5

Ores and what a failure does

Pick one entry in the refine window. Every entry also uses the normal ore and the zeny fee shown in the window.

Choice	Levels	Uses	Fee	On failure
Normal ore onlyPhracon, Emveretarcon, Oridecon or Elunium	+1 to +10	1 normal ore	x1	Item breaks
Panday orePanday Oridecon (weapons) / Panday Elunium (armor)	+1 to +4	1 Panday + 1 normal ore	x1	-1 level
Enriched oreEnriched Oridecon (weapons) / Enriched Elunium (armor)	+5 to +10	1 Enriched + 1 normal ore	x1.25	-2 levels
HD oreHD Oridecon (weapons) / HD Elunium (armor)	+1 to +10	1 HD + 1 normal ore	x1.5	-1 level
Pinas Refine Guardtick the box, works with any choice above	+8, +9, +10	1 Guard (on top of your ore)	-	Held 95 / 85 / 75%otherwise -1, never breaks

Every weapon level uses the Oridecon safety ores; armor uses the Elunium ones. The Guard is used up on every attempt, success or failure.

Zeny fees

Base fee per attempt with the normal ore or Panday ore. Enriched ore costs x1.25 and HD ore x1.5.

Economy

Inflation/Deflation

Refine fees are affected by the Inflation/Deflation System. The refine window always shows the fee you will pay.

Pinas Refine Guard

An optional charm for the last three levels. Tick the Guard box in the refine window for an attempt to +8, +9 or +10 (1 Guard per attempt).

95%held on a failed attempt to +8

85%held on a failed attempt to +9

75%held on a failed attempt to +10

If the Guard doesn't hold, the item drops 1 level. A guarded item never breaks.
Earned Guards (MVPs, WoE treasure, castle rewards, events) are tradeable.
Bought Guards (Refine Guard Merchant, Refine Pass) are account-bound.

What each refine level gives

The base refine bonus is the same as official pre-renewal. Bonus stats (below) are added on top.

Armor, shield, garment, shoes, headgear

+0.7 DEF per level

A +10 armor piece gives +7 DEF (the total is rounded down).

Weapons

Flat ATK per level + over-upgrade

Every level adds flat ATK. Past the over-upgrade level, each hit also rolls extra random ATK from 1 up to the cap for that refine level.

Weapon	ATK per level	ATK at +10	Over-upgrade from	Extra cap per level	Random extra at +10
Weapon Lv1	+2	+20	+8	+3	1 ~ 9
Weapon Lv2	+3	+30	+7	+5	1 ~ 20
Weapon Lv3	+5	+50	+6	+8	1 ~ 40
Weapon Lv4	+7	+70	+5	+13	1 ~ 78

Example: a +10 Lv4 weapon adds +70 ATK, plus 1 to 78 more ATK on every hit.

Bonus stats

Refining weapons and armor (armor, shields, garments, shoes and headgear) unlocks up to three random bonus stats, shown in the item's tooltip.

+5Low bonus stat in slot 1

+7Mid bonus stat in slot 2

+9High bonus stat in slot 3

Each slot is rolled the first time the item reaches that level. Dropping to +6 and climbing back to +7 does not roll again.
A level loss keeps every bonus stat, but a stat only works while the item is at or above the level that unlocked it (+5 / +7 / +9). Below that it goes dormant: it stays on the item with the same roll, does nothing, and wakes up again when you refine back to that level. Climbing back never adds a new stat. A break destroys the item and its bonus stats.
One item never gets two bonus stats of the same type (for example, only one "damage vs race").
The value is random inside the tier's range. "Race", "size", "element" and "stat" types pick one at random.
Chance is how likely that type is for the first slot. Types already on the item are skipped, so later slots pick from the rest.

Staves and rods are more likely to get MATK and less likely to get ATK. "-" means that type can't appear in that tier.

After-cast delay -%Garments and shoes only	6%	-	1	1 ~ 2

Perfect Dodge, After-cast delay and Ignore DEF only appear from the Mid tier, so their chance shown is for the Mid/High slots.

Re-rolling bonus stats

The Option Artisan in Pinas Hall re-rolls the bonus stats of an equipped item.

Re-roll

Option Stone

1 Option Stone + 500,000z re-rolls every unlocked bonus stat on the item. Each slot keeps its tier (Low / Mid / High) and gets a new type and value.

Protect

Option Lock

1 Option Lock protects 1 slot during the re-roll. Lock as many slots as you like, but at least one must stay unlocked.

The Option Artisan's fee is affected by the Inflation/Deflation System.

Panday ore: choose Oridecon or Elunium each day. Enriched ores: choose Oridecon or Elunium each week. Missed days and weeks don't carry over. Using another pass adds 30 more days and the calendar starts again at Week 1.

The cash shop also sells account-bound boxes of Panday, Enriched and HD ore, and Option Stone / Option Lock packs. Cash shop ore never raises the success rate.

Good to know

Blacksmith Weapon Refine: follows the same success rates and fees (normal ore only, no job-level bonus) and also adds bonus stats.
Castle rewards: when WoE ends, the guild master of each castle gets Pinas Refine Guards by mail to share: 2 per First Edition castle, 3 per Second Edition castle.
Broadcasts: reaching +5 or higher is announced to the server.
Deposit System: some Pinas Handbook entries need refined gear (+6, +7 or +8), see the Deposit System page.
