Yesterday we saw How to Enhancing & Upgrading and Tuesday we learned how to recycle, today we dig a bit on 2 other addition in the gear enhancement, Refining and Tempering.

Refining

Refining uses flaming jade to replace a stat or bonus of an item with a new random stat or bonus. The player is able to select the gear’s stat which will be replaced.
There is no risk to losing the gear using this feature.There is no limit to how many times an item can be refined. Mounts may now have their “Increased marching speed” replaced with a new stat or ability. It’s very useful to remove skill you don’t for other skill  or to improve mounts as by removing increased marching speed for something else.
 

Numbers of required flaming jade
White – 4x lvl 1 flaming jade per attribute change.
Green – 4x lvl 2 flaming jade per attribute change.
Blue – 10x lvl 3 flaming jade per attribute change.
Purple – 13x lvl 4 flaming jade per attribute change.

Tempering

 
Tempering increase the quality of you gear from crude to common (white to green gear) . However tempering is gamble since gears can be destroyed using this feature!
So, if you do not want to lose a particular gear, do not try to temper it.
I wasn’t able to actually try this feature yet because I wasn’t able to get any solid ice. From what I’ve heard  from other player it basically upgrade the color of your gear giving it a additional bonus. For example you can make a green gear become a blue gear therefore it gains an additional stat or bonus.

Thanks to death for is great guide on the new gear feature, really helped me to have more info (specially temper)

Yesterday we saw How to recycle, today we dig a bit on 2 other addition in the gear enhancement, Enhancing and upgrading.

Enhancing

It seems the same system has it used to be the max level of gears remains +10.
And you have to use mithril :

Mithril: Increases the enhancement level of gears.
Minor Mithril: Increases the enhancement level of gears upto level +5.

There a Rumor has it that the chances of enhancement have been reduced since mithril is now easier to come by because of recycling.

Upgrading

This is were you use your Yin Jades from the recycling.
Upgrading gears allows players to use Yin Jades to transform their items to a new version but beware that new gear will requires a higher level… Like this sun tzu manual that I upgraded to lv 62:

What nice with upgrading you won’t lose any gears when you do it.
After each successful attempt the current stats on a gear are increased along with a higher minimum level. Along with these, the amount of yin jade required for the next upgrade increases. The minimum level for items now passes level 30 and a wide range of new items have been introduced including round birettas and gold rings. Note that upgrading may have no effect or reduce your bonus enhancement level, reducing didn’t happened often but something I upgrade and the item stay the same but the level go up…

Hope you liked this guide, I’ll bring another guide on gear enhancement tomorrow about tempering and refining.

Surprisingly Recycling is not just something of the modern age it something they use to do in the past, in the three kingdom period particularly.
Or maybe it’s just that Koram is going green and is making us recycle our old gear to prevent pollution and and improve our other gear in the process.

Item recycling is the last tab within the gear improvements.  Each player is able to recycle up to 20 gears per day. That mean that if you don’t have gear to recycle you can always buy every gear in the mystery shop for that day then recycle. You won’t get much but is better than nothing.

In return you will receive a variety of jades which are essential to making improvements to the gears you wish to use in battle. Only recycle items which you no longer want or need since they will be destroyed. If you need all your current items, I would recommend buying cheap items from the Mystery Shop for the sole purpose of recycling. Here’s a list of the different items you can get for recycling. I find higher quality gears provide better chances at gaining high level enhancement items.

Yin Jade: Used to upgrade gears, ranges from level I to V for white to orange gears respectively.

Flaming Jade: Used to refine gears, ranges from level I to V for white to orange gears respectively.

Yin Jade Fragments: exchange multiple fragments for yin jade of the same level.

Flaming Jade Fragments: exchange multiple fragments for flaming jade of same level.

Solid Ice Fragments: exchange multiple fragments for solid ice.

Changing Fragment to actual item:
After you have recycled enough gears, its time to trade in your fragments for actual enhancing items. Go to the mystery shop and then item exchange tab. Below all your scrolls you will find the fragments which can be exchanged using minor scholars scrolls.

Have fun recycling, next I’ll explain enhancing and upgrading our gear.
