Ore Refining
The classic refiners — ore, zeny, and the usual chance of failure.
| NPC | Location | Handles |
|---|---|---|
| Antonio | prontera 178,38 | Ordinary refining |
| Hakhim | prontera 189,39 | Ore merchant · sells Phracon (200z) and Emveretarcon (1,000z) · turns 5 Rough Oridecon or Rough Elunium into 1 Oridecon or Elunium |
| Rhazir | prontera 186,39 and prt_in 54,68 | HD ore requests |
| Blacksmith Dister | prontera 182,38 and prt_in 58,54 | Blessed ore |
🪨 Which ore to use#
Which ore exists depends on the item: Weapon Level 1 and 2 have no HD ore, and Enriched only beats Normal on Weapon Level 3, 4 and armour. Every rate is on Refine Rates.
| Ore | Chance | On failure |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | Baseline | 💥 Item breaks, gone |
| HD | Weapon Lv 3–4 and armour only · at least Normal's, better above +5 | ⬇️ Drops one refine level · item survives |
| Enriched | Much higher on Weapon Lv 3–4 and armour · Normal's on Lv 1–2 | 💥 Item breaks, same as Normal |
- Enriched works on every step, weapons included, for Normal's zeny.
Enriched Elunium and Oridecon are sold singly in the Cash Shop — 10,000 Cash Points or Free Points each, on the Popular and Other tabs. The ten-ore boxes are not sold. Each ore is bound: no trade, drop, sell, cart, mail or guild storage. Nothing else in game sells them.
✨ Blacksmith Blessing#
Adds a flat +5% to the attempt. Refine Rates lists the exact count for every step of every class.
| Step | Blessings |
|---|---|
| At or below the safe line | None — it cannot fail |
| First risky steps above the safe line | 1 |
| The stretch up to +10 | 2 |
| Armor +10 | 4 |
A Blessing raises the chance; it does not protect the item — a failure still breaks the item on Normal or Enriched ore and drops it a level on HD. One exception: on the +4 → +5 step of armour and Weapon Level 4, a failure with a Blessing keeps the item at +4. That step is no longer a guaranteed success — a Blessing makes it 50% (Normal), 55% (HD) or 65% (Enriched).
📣 Everyone hears about it#
Risky attempts at +7 and above are announced server-wide, success or failure (from +8 on a Level 1 weapon, whose +7 cannot fail), with your name partly hidden. The line also says which ore you used and what happened to the item, for example:
[ Refine ] Rein** refined <+10 Muffler> to +10 with HD Elunium!
[ Refine ] Rein**'s <+9 Muffler> failed to reach +10 with HD Elunium and dropped to +8.
[ Refine ] Rein**'s <+9 Muffler> failed to reach +10 with Enriched Elunium and shattered.
- On a success the item link shows the refined piece; on a failure it shows the piece as it was before the attempt.
- Blessed attempts show in a different colour and name the number of Blessings used.
- VIP players can mute these lines under Broadcast Settings in the Star Realm Menu.
