    Refine a Weapon

    Refine a weapon is very important for all the warriors in the Land, no matter which role you are, you need refine to increase your damage.
    Got a weapon with a good refine is the key to have huge damage in game and be a good grinder, to not be KS at a boss or do high damage when you do some PvP.

    Refine a weapon is dangerous and you can lost your weapon during this process. It cost a lot of money too, and the price can change all the time because it's depend of the price of Blood Essence in the Land which is the item you need to create the material for refine the weapons.

    There is only 3 way to boost you refine rate:
    • One is from Mastery, you will get a rate boost by increased 5%.
    • One is from refine epithets : The first one is a 15% boost epithet which come from a collection using fragment of the conqueror (you need 20 fragment of the conqueror), the second one is a Loulan Epithet that increase by 30% the success rate (Take a look at Loulan map guide for more details.), the last one is a 50% boost that come from an epithet in Kunlun.
    • One is called Tender Stone. There are different kind of Tender Stone like 30%, 50% and 100% increase success of refine rate : these stones come from events. There is also 100% and 200% Tender Stone which can be obtained in the Item Mall. The 100% are also available in collection from Cave of the conqueror dungeon (you need 12 fragment of the conqueror) and the 30% is available as reward from conqueror dungeon box.
    [​IMG]
    There are also 2 special items that are called Extreme Refinement Scroll which allow you to directly refine a weapon without any breaking chance. See the link at the end of this topic.

    What can/can't I do with a refined/scaled weapon ?

    Before do any refine you have to know that some stuff:
    • Once a weapon is refined (any level) you can add slot on the weapon.
    • Once a weapon is refined (any level) you can add ornament to the weapon.
    • Once a weapon is refined (any level) you can remove ornament to the weapon.
    • Once a weapon is refined (any level) you can boost the stat of a weapon.
    • Once a weapon is refined (any level) and there is scale on it you can't broke the weapon during any refine.
    • Once a weapon is refined (any level) and it has not any scale on it you can broke the weapon during any refine.
    Guide Index:


    Refine Rate Table:

    There was a post from GM on other server about the basic rate of refine step (not sure if it's 100 accurate but it seems follow the real in game rate).
    Here is the list, I made the calculation with some boost example to show you how work boost. Note that some are not really good...

    How do I get Blood Essence (BE) ?

    For the step of refine you need to create some material and each of those material need Blood Essence. You will need to get a lot of them to create a good weapon.
    There are a lot of way to get blood essence :

    Grind: The mobs from all the map drop blood essence but not often. You will be able to find more in the Cave of the Conqueror (mobs can drop 2 be at once there.)

    Boss hunt: The Boss will drop a lot of Blood essence, but it will depend of their level, the higher they are, the more BE they drop. (Excepted True General Wei that always drop a lot of BE).
    Dungeon: in each of the dungeon you will be able to drop Blood Essence on the boss and mini boss but only if you are near from his level (Boss not dark Blue). It can be 1~2 be on boss. Take a look at all the dungeon guide to have more details.

    School of Rising Sun Grind: This dungeon is well know for his Blood Essence drop on mobs, near 20 per run without drop card (1 run ~ 1 hour). You can start go there at the begun of hermit level until end PS level. The level of the mob will depend of the colour of the pass used. (Red is higher mobs level)

    The Lucky Gold Coin collection:
    You can find this collection in you collection windows :
    [​IMG]

    The Lucky Gold Coin can be found in gold box a bit everywhere in the Land on all the maps. When you find a box you just need to open it and you will get 1 Lucky Gold Coin:
    [​IMG]

    You can get some lucky gold coin when you buy something from the [Black Market] in the level 3 of the Cave of the Conqueror.

    When you have collected some Lucky Gold Coin you can trade them for Blood Essence in Hefei with Mo Tailan or in The Third Level of the Cave of the Conqueror with the Black Market.

    Blood Point: It's a kind of point you win when you kill mobs and hat you can found there:
    [​IMG]

    When you have 999 Blood Point an icon appear:
    [​IMG]
    You just need to press it to get 1 blood essence in bag.

    Players Stand: There are a lot of BE sold in stand or in auction house.

    Assemble collection: With assemble you can create Blood Essence using Red Stone or Red Stone (Excellent), you can get these both items by disassembling weapons (refined weapon give more Red Stone). Take a look at the assemble/disassemble guide for more details.

    How can I protect my weapon from breaking ?

    There is only one way to protect a weapon from breaking, it's use the Item Mall and buy Dragon Dragon Scales or Dragon's Tears.

    Dragon's tears:

    [​IMG]

    This item will not protect you from breaking on a weapon, he will just give you 2 more space to apply Dragon Scales.

    On a normal weapon without anything done on it, you will see those green text :
    "Hardness 0/3" and "Hardness Increase is Possible". That's mean you can add a Dragon's Tears.
    (Red square on the following screen)
    [​IMG]

    So you want add Dragon's Tears, you take the Dragon's Tears in you bag (click on it); then a window like that appear:
    [​IMG]

    Then you click on the weapon:
    [​IMG]
    You press confirm:
    [​IMG]

    And then confirm again and the weapon become like that:
    [​IMG]

    Dragon Scale :

    [​IMG]

    This item will protect you from breaking the weapon. You can apply only a certain number of Dragon Scale on a weapon.

    So you want add Dragon Scale, you take the Dragon Scale in you bag (click on it); then a window like that appear:
    [​IMG]

    Then you click on the weapon:
    [​IMG]

    You enter the number of Dragon Scale you want put on the weapon:
    [​IMG]

    You press confirm:

    The Extreme Refinement Scroll.

    The scroll are huge item so a lot of people asking stuff about it and how it work exactly.
    To get those scroll there is only one way which is used the Blue Dragon Box (Lottery Item from Item Mall).
    So first you have 3 kind of scroll:

    Extreme Refinement Scroll + 1:

    [​IMG]

    This scroll can be used only once time. It will add you 1 refine level on any weapon you have selected. For example you have a weapon +11 it will be come +11 +1 with the exact same effect that if it will be a +12: damage + colour. Once you have used it you are not able to trad the weapon with other player so it's stuck on your char.

    Here an example of +1 scroll used on a weapon: You can see +1 near the refine number.

    [​IMG]

    Extreme Refinement Scroll + 2:

    [​IMG]

    This scroll can be used only once time. It will add you 2 refine level on any weapon you have selected. For example you have a weapon +11 it will be come +11 +2 with the exact same effect that if it will be a +13 : damage + colour. Once you have used it you are not able to trad the weapon with other player so it's stuck on your char.

    Removing Extreme Refinement Scroll:

    [​IMG]

    This scroll can only be used once. It is the only way for you to remove a special effect from the previous scroll. Once you used it everything on the weapon back to normal. for example you have a Weapon +11 +1 so it has the same colour and damage than +12 weapon the scroll remove the +1 it come back to the +11 weapon with +11 damage and colour.
    Once it's used you are able to trad the weapon again with other players.
    You won't get back the Removing scroll or the +1 /+2 scroll once you used it you just got back the weapon.

    Special notes:
    • The Extreme Refinement Scroll can't being stacked so you can only use once on a weapon at the same time.
    • Once you removed a scroll on a weapon you can use a new one without problem.
    • Once you have put a scroll on a weapon the only things you CAN'T do is trad the weapon with another player (stand or other way) but you CAN refine, change stats with trade system, put hardness...
    • All the Scrolls always work, they can't fail.
    How to use a scroll:

    First you need to select the scroll in you bag, then this window will appear:
    [​IMG]

    Then you have to select the weapon you want to add the scroll and the following window will appear:
    [​IMG]

    In this example it's a +13 weapon and I use a +1 scroll.
    This message will appear once it's done:
    [​IMG]

    Then on the refine part of the weapon you will see a +1 or a +2 near the refine level.

    How to use Tender Stone

    This guide may seems pointless but in fact it doesn't. GM receive a lot of Q&A about player that broke their weapon while they use Tender Stone because they try to not use it correctly and GM can't give back the weapon so the players get mad.

    As a result here is the way to use a Tender Stone:

    First get you weapon and refine item in you bag ready then go near Mo Tailan.
    Once you are ready then select a Tender Stone in you bag:

    [​IMG]

    You have to use double left click of mouse or 1 right mouse click.
    Once you have used it the following buff icon will appear:

    [​IMG]

    There will be also a kind of white aura on you char:

    [​IMG]

    When you see that NOW you are able to talk to Mo and start refine, you have 30 sec to complete the refine. It is enough don't worry.

    That's the ONLY way to use Tender Stone, don't try to use it with quick slot on skill bare and use it BEFORE talk to Mo.

    Have a good game :)
    Thanks to Flower fury for picture (^_^)

    The Weapon Recovery Orbs

    Those 2 item mall items allow you to recover a broken weapon after refinement fail.
    First the details about those items:
    • You can use only one orb on a same weapon (1 red OR 1 green).
    • If you use a orb on a weapon with a scroll +1 or +2 this scroll will stay and you won't lose it.
    • If you use a orb on a slotted weapon the slot and the ornament in slot will not desperate.
    • If the weapon have trad option and stats those are not reset with orb.
    • You will be able to use the orb ONLY on the LAST weapon you have broken. That means there is no choice, it's only the last ref fail !
    • Those items only work with weapon broke during refine after patch 218 !
    • Orb can't be used on limited time weapon !

    Green Dragon Orb
    orb_1.png
    Restore the last weapon you broke during refining to its state before it was destroyed. All previous upgrades, scrolls, weapon options, slots, ornaments, and durability will be preserved.

    Red Dragon Orb
    orb_2.png
    Restore the last weapon you destroyed to its original state (full hardness). All previous upgrades will be lost. Scroll, weapon options, slots, ornaments, and durability will be preserved.

    Example with a red Orb:


    Venus has failed a +15 ref and lost the weapon. Then she tried to ref another weapon to +14 but she failed again and lost the second weapon also.
    So she decide to use a red orb to restore the last broken weapon. The following weapon appear:
    orb_3.jpg

    As you can see she is only able to restore the last weapon destroyed while refine ! So the +14 one that failed to +15 ref has vanished forever !

    orb_4.jpg

    Press confirm and wait.
    The weapon is now restore in her bag with ref level and hardness reset.

    Sorry but this value come from older version of 9D maybe they changed it.
    Also I suspect the rate change in function of the weapon kind :S.
