Reinforcing (Argating) [pics]

Basics / Summary

• Weapons, armors, and some accessories can be reinforced to give better stats. This is denoted by the (+) sign in the item’s name. For example, a Zuto’s Belt when reinforced becomes Zuto’s Belt +1 and so on.

• Just because one part can be upgraded, doesn't mean that all the others can be.
  • For example, a Zuto Bracelet can be upgraded, but a God of War bracelet cannot be reinforced.

• Items normally get destroyed upon failure. However, D-shop items may be used to prevent this. Here's a summary of all of them: 
  • Blacksmith Protector - for Normal / Legendary items +7 to +10; prevents destruction of item but does not increase success rate.
  • Blacksmith Talisman - for Normal / Legendary items +1 ~ +9; increase success rate only.
  • Blacksmith’s Anvil - for Normal / Legendary items +10 only; increase success rate only.
  • Blacksmith’s Grace - for Epic Items +7 to +9; prevent destruction of item and increase success rate.
  • Blacksmith’s Glory - for Epic Items +10 to +12; prevent destruction of item and increase success rate.
  • Theos Protector - for Theos Items +13 to +15; prevent destruction of item and increase success rate
  • Theos Glory -  for Theos Items +13 to +15; prevent destruction of item and increase success rate
• Here is the summary of the upgrade rates and necessary D-shop items for easier understanding:

Special Epic Accessories (Red Monkey Earrings)

• These items have Purple names. They work exactly like the Epic Grade items. The first difference is they use Water Argates instead of Condensed Copper / Silver / Gold Argates. The next difference is they can break at all + (anywhere from +0 to +10, they can break if failed).

Theos grade

• These items have Brown names. They have a maximum reinforcement of +15. The only epic grade item that can become Theos Grade is the MC3 Helmet. Once the MC3 becomes +10, you can transform it into the MC4 Helmet which is Theos grade, and thus, you can upgrade it into +15.

    • Same mechanics as Epic grade items from +1 to +10.
    • Need to use Condensed Gold Argates to upgrade for +11 to +15.
