Reinforcing Equipment - Forged Equipment, and Crafted Equipment

Hello again everyone!
Hope you doing good haha.. Recently things going bad on my life, but I don't care haha..

Today I want to talk about REINFORCING EQUIPMENT.
Now if we talk about reinforcing we should know first what's that mean(in Rohan ofc!)

Reinforcing is a way in Rohan to make your equipment stronger.
If you see a weapon like Glacial Split Katar+9 or Glacial Split Armor +5 
That + behind the name indicating that equipment has been reinforced to that certain level( 9 for the katar and 5 for the armor).

Now there are 2 type of equipment in Rohan world that you must be aware first before we go further in this topic.

1. Forged Equipment
2. Crafted Equipment 

Let's talk about Forged Equipment first ok? More simple in my opinion.
Forged Equipment
 is equipment that you can obtain only from FORGING ACTIVITY.
You know, the one that you get by combining materials(add option stone if you want some stat), at NPC Master Weaponsmith/Armorsmith.
There is Rare, Unique and Ancient equipment. Yep those are called FORGED equipment. There are Forged Weapon and Armor.
Examle : Agony of Tei(Ancient blue background), Eye of Xavier(Unique yellow background), Edmond's Dagger(Rare, green background)

Now you must understand that only, and I said ONLY Ancient can be reinforced.
Unique and Rare cannot be reinforced.

How to reinforce Ancient equipment??
Actually you can do it at Crafting Studio, talk with NPC Tamir. A window will appear and there are 2 tabs.
The first tab is for normal reinforcing, the second tab is premium reinforcing, in there you can add Preservation Stone(can be bought at Item Mall XD haha) on the new slot, to preserve your equipment if the reinforcing will be failure.

Now we need Crystals to be able to reinforce the equipment.
Grade E, Grade D, Grade C, Grade B, Grade A Crystals.
These are crystals needed to do the reinforcement. Just have it in your inventory and every time you do the reinforcement, it will automatically consumed. Crystals can be obtained through extracting Unique armor or weapon.
Different tier equipment will need different grade crystal, also different amount of crystals consumed per attempt.

• Tier 1 Ancient will use Grade E Crystals, ex: Enchanted Froianne Armor, Yuna's Pain(Katar)
• Tier 2 Ancient will use Grade D Crystals, ex: Enchanted Pluion Armor
• Tier 3 Ancient will use Grade C Crystals, ex : E.Edwin Armor, Kasim's Victory(Zhen)
• Tier 4 Ancient will use Grade B Crystals, ex : E.Bedron Armor, Kayra's Destiny(Sword)
• Tier 5 Ancient will use Grade A Crystals, ex : Glacial Split Armor, Glacial Split Katar(Katar)
• Heroic Combine Armor/Heroic Weapon will use Shining Crystals(Obtained from Power Arena only)
• Darkness Onyx Armor/Weapon will use Onyx(Obtained from monster's drop in Warehouse or Mirror Dungeon). 

NOTE : Reinforcing equipment from +0 until +5 is always safe, if it's failed it won't dissapear. Yeah I know the description doesn't say that, but you can trust me. at +5 if you attempting to reinforce it again and failed, the equipment will vanished unless you use Preservation Stone.

That's all for Forged Equipment.

 Let's talk about Crafted Equipment.
Well, this one is a bit complex. Let us first start at asking you a few questions.
Do you know what is Crafted Equipment? 
No?
Okay, stop reading and go away now...
I'm kidding. hahaha...
Alright, let me explain. Crafted equipment is equipment that can be made from Crafting activity.
If you don't know what is crafting, you can check this post : Crafting

Example Crafted Equipment :
Artisan Armor IV, Craftman Helm III, Artisan Green Mano Ring II, Craftman Spinel Bracers IV
Chimera Zhen, Chimera Armor, Tali's Katar, Opaniel Sword, Sage Zhen, Sage Dagger, Recycled Boss Drop(categorized as Crafted Accessory).

Those all are example of CRAFTED EQUIPMENT. 
To reinforce those you need Reinforcement Stone. There are 2 type of Reinforcement Stone.

1. Weapon Reinforcement Stone(WRS)
2. Armor Reinforcement Stone(ARS)

Weapon Reinforcement Stone is exclusive for Crafted Weapon only, and Armor Reinforcement Stone   only for Armor and Accessory.


You can get these Stones via crafting it(in the way of gemstone accessory), or buy it from Item Mall(IM) XD

 To start reinforcing, simply double click the WRS/ARS. a window will pop up with 3 there but only 2 is empty. The upper left slot is for your equipment you want to reinforce, and the middle bottom slot is for Preservation Stone. The preservation stone will preserve your equipment if it is will be a failure.

There are 2 Preservation Stones. Enhancement Abradant and Deluxe Reinforcement Abradant.
The later will boost the success rate but If not mistaken only have 20% chance to preserve the equipment if it's failed which is crazy! The former can be bought on Item Mall at any time, while the later only available during special sale. Both are not protecting from downgrade level reinforcement.

What about Feather of Goddes Silva, Flame Diamond, Bezemut's Eyes, and Wrath of Ancient Darkness?
Yeah they are boss drops but you need to recycle them into the advanced version first.
Here's the recipe :

• Feathers of Goddess Silva + Feathers of Goddess Silva = Feathers of Goddess Silva(Wood) or Feathers of Goddess Silva
• Flame Diamond + Flame Diamond = Flame Diamond(Fire) or Flame Diamond
• Bezemut's Eyes + Bezemut's Eyes = Bezemut's Eyes(Metal) or Bezemut's Eyes
• Wrath of Ancient Darkness + Wrath of Ancient Darkness = Wrath of Ancient Darkness(Wind) or Wrath of Ancient Darkness

Example : Flame Diamond(Fire) 
Now you can reinforce it using ARS.

Alright now what is the letter behind the stone name? Armor Reinforcement Stone IV? What is that IV?
I also saw Weapon Reinforcement Stone III, both has this letter thingy? What is that?

Okay, it's indicating the stone quality. The higher the number then the better or I have to say it will up the reinforcement at that number. Err I'm so bad at english, let me give an example to make this easier.

We will reinforce a ring using Armor Reinforcement Stone IV.
If success the ring will be ring +4, assuming it was +0, if it was +6 then it will be +10 now.
If it's failed at any level, the equipment will be dissappear.

However, there's another case here.
If you using those preservation I mentioned before Enhancement Abradant or Deluxe Reinforcement Abradant and it is failed(and it is preserved for the later Preservation Stone), the equipment will not dissappear BUT, a big BUTT, the reinforcement level will get down according to the Reinforcement Stone Number, if it's ARS IV then it will go down by 4 level. Example : Ring +6 and failed will become Ring +2.
WTF right?? That's why crafted accessories is so EXPENSIVE!.

 Alright I think that's all for the explanation, if you want to watch a video, then below is a video of Asyer trying to REINFORCE both type equipment. Enjoy!
