Refining System

This article is using information from the official ArdaOnline website.

Refining is a system that allows an equipament to have enhanced attack, armor or defense by using a refining stone in it. Refining stones are sorted by degrees and will refine an item by +1 degree at the time. The maximum refining degree is +12. As refining degrees get higher it will be much more difficult to upgrade an equipment, be careful as your equipment may be downgraded. Stones may be looted from all creatures in Arda and stronger creatures will drop much more rare stones.

Weaker stones can also be bough from NPCs for gold and ardan points.
 * Stones bought with gold can only reach (+1 +2 +3)
 * Stones bought with ardan points can reach (+4 +5 +6)

Examples:
 * 1) A magic plate armor has armor 17 by default, but if it was refined +5 it would have armor 22.
 * 2) A war hammer has attack 45 by default, but if it was refined +2 it would have attack 47.
