Improving equipment

Equipment Enhancement — is a process that allows the player to increase the stats that a character receives from equipment and gems embedded within it.

How Equipment Enhancement Works

• Each enhancement adds 1% efficiency to all the stats provided by the equipment and embedded gems.
• Maximum efficiency – 10% (10 times).
• Decimal values are rounded down.
• If both equipment and gems grant the same stat, enhancement adds a percentage of the combined value.

For example, if gloves grant +4 Accuracy and embedded gems grant +7 Accuracy, a 10% enhancement adds +1 Accuracy (10% of [4 + 7 = 11]), making the total +12 Accuracy.

What You Need for Enhancement

Each enhancement attempt requires:

• Enhancement Crystal — can be purchased in the Item Mall for Crystals.
• Enhancement Scroll — can be purchased for Reputation Points.
• Gold — the amount depends on the enhancement level.

How to Enhance Equipment

To enhance your equipment, talk to the Blacksmith – John Brown (1446,676) and select “Enhance Equipment.” Place the Enhancement Scroll in the tab, then the equipment and the Enhancement Crystal, and press “Confirm.”

1%	150,000	90%
2%	300,000	90%
3%	450,000	80%
4%	600,000	70%
5%	750,000	70%
6%	900,000	60%
7%	1,050,000	60%
8%	1,200,000	50%
9%	1,350,000	50%
10%	1,500,000	40%

• Hat
• Armor (Torso)
• Gloves
• Boots
• Two-handed Sword
• One-handed Sword
• Bow
• Gun
• Staff

All other equipment cannot be enhanced.

Equipment Slots (Sockets)

Equipment Sockets allow players to embed gems into their equipment to increase stats. The maximum number of sockets per item is 3.

What You Need to Create a Socket

To create a socket, you need a piece of equipment, a “Puncher,” and gold:

• 1st Socket: 100k Gold
• 2nd Socket: 200k Gold
• 3rd Socket: 300k Gold

The “Puncher” consists of a Stabilizer + Catalyst set. There are two types of Punchers:

Standard Puncher

Success rate:

• 1st Socket: 100%
• 2nd Socket: 60%
• 3rd Socket: 30%

Lucky Puncher

The “Lucky Equipment Stabilizer + Lucky Equipment Catalyst” set can be purchased in the Item Mall for Crystals. Success rate:

• 1st Socket: 100%
• 2nd Socket: 100%
• 3rd Socket: 100%

How to Create a Socket

To create a socket, talk to the Blacksmith – John Brown (1446,676) and select “Create Socket.” On the socket tab, place items as follows:

• First Slot: Equipment
• Second Slot: Stabilizer
• Third Slot: Catalyst

Then click “Forge” and confirm the action.

Only items from the same set can be used simultaneously. For example, you cannot combine a regular Stabilizer with a Lucky Catalyst.

Which Equipment Can Have Sockets

Sockets can be created in:

• Hat
• Armor (Torso)
• Gloves
• Boots
• Ring
• Necklace
• All weapons and staffs
• Shield

Gem Extraction

Gem Extraction allows the player to remove gems previously embedded in equipment.

What You Need for Extraction

To extract gems, you need Blacksmith Pliers. They can be purchased in the Item Mall for Crystals or for Reputation Points. You will also need gold equal to 10k × [total number of gems embedded in the equipment].

How to Extract Gems

Talk to the Blacksmith – John Brown (1446,676) and select “Extract Gem.” Insert the equipment and the Blacksmith Pliers, then click “Confirm.” Only the gem itself will be returned — any cleansing gem used in the process is not refunded.

Extraction Order

Gems are extracted in the following order: First from the 1st socket, starting with the highest-level gem to the lowest, then from the 2nd, and finally the 3rd socket.

Example

From this armor, gems will be extracted in the following order:

1. Lv.3 Shining Gem
2. Lv.2 Shining Gem
3. Lv.1 Shining Gem
4. Lv.3 Brilliant Gem
5. Lv.2 Brilliant Gem
6. Lv.1 Brilliant Gem

If all gems from the 1st socket are extracted, but gems remain in the 2nd socket, the forging window will visually display those gems as if they were in the 1st socket. This is purely a visual bug — the 1st socket remains empty, and new gems will be inserted there.
