Refining is the act of taking a weapon, shield, or armor item, & making it better. But you're going to need a few things first!

To refine your items (once you have the appropriate items needed listed below) head to the Hill of Wind's Windmill Village, & speak to the old man there. Then, just drag & drop the items to the window, & it will show you what percentage it has of succeeding refinement. The success rate depends on the powder used - so, higher quality = better chance of refinement. Also, this is what causes your item to get better stats. The old man also charges a fee after refining past (1).

If he fails at refining the item, you lose all your refining items, the fee, & your item loses a little durability (durability affects how fast your weapon becomes damaged, so high = good).

The following posts need some information collected, but I hope they help you out anyhow. Most of this information was found at the ever-helpful 7hearts.net!

B3 probably drops Essences through Low Either, but I'm not sure as it's still too tough for me to hunt down there. ;.;
PostPosted: Sat Mar 19, 2005 12:52 am


Yes, last time I went to B3(level 68-9), I got my a** kicked.
I would presume it's ether+ and high quality powders.
I may or may not be able to survive there now, having hit Champion...

I've heard of people adding +5 dodge to wings with lisent (cu) to (1), don't know if dodge add is capped for certain equips, but it would be veeery, veeery expensive to find out.
