Reinforcing is a chance based activity that allows players to improve the quality of weapons, armor, and tools. Reinforcing is done with Reinforcement Kits and does not require being at a crafting workshop. The reinforcement process is sometimes called "upgrading."
Reinforcing is used to improve items from +0 to +7 quality, and reinforcing is the only way to achieve +7 quality. Items cannot be crafted with +7 quality.
Items can only be improved by 1 quality level at a time. It is not possible to go from a +3 directly to a +5, for example.
Successful reinforcement has the following effects:
- Adds +1 to the quality of the item.
- Successful reinforcement does not repair the item’s durability.
- The reinforcement kit is consumed.
Failure on reinforcement has the following effects:
- If the Reinforcement attempt fails on an item between +0 and +3, the item does not lose a quality level.
- If the reinforcement attempt fails on an item of +4 or higher quality, the item loses one 1 quality level.
- The reinforcement kit is consumed.
Reinforcement Kits
Reinforcement kits are given as daily, weekly, and monthly log in rewards. They can also be purchased at vendors for Crowns.
The 3 types of reinforcement kits and their vendor costs.
| Type | Login Reward | Vendor Cost |
 Common
|
Daily | 5 silver |
 Decent
|
Weekly | 15 Silver |
 Master
|
Monthly | 50 Silver |
Reinforcing an item
To begin reinforcing, right click a reinforcement kit in your inventory, select "use" and then left click the item you want to use it on. This will bring up the Reinforcement screen. It will show the probability of failure, so read it carefully.
Determining Success
The reinforcement process takes several factors into account to determine if it will be successful, including:
- The craft level and tier of the item.
- Your crafting level in the relevant skill (Reinforcing weapons is based on Weapon Forging, for example).
- Your Mentor Points.
- Crafting Chance Bonuses.
- The current quality of the item. High quality items are harder to reinforce.
- The type of reinforcement kit being used.
Items which are not successfully reinforced are permanently destroyed.
Newer players or non-crafters are recommended to seek out high level crafters with large mentor point pools for item reinforcement.
Which Kit to Use
Generally, a higher tier reinforcement kit gives better results, but using Master's kits for every upgrade is prohibitively expensive. A player who significantly outlevels the item being reinforced, and has a mentor point pool of at least 700 has a fairly good chance at success using this guide:
| Desired + Quality | Best Kit to Use |
| 1 to 2 | Common |
| 3 to 4 | Decent |
| 5 to 7 | Master |
Note: +7 has a VERY, VERY LOW chance of success even when all factors are optimized, and is not recommended to attempt getting a +7 without meeting these criteria:
- A master reinforcement kit
- 1,000+ mentor points
- Max relevant crafting level
Even when these criteria are met, it is likely there will be multiple failures. Usually people wishing to upgrade to +7 make a dozen or so attempts before they get a success.
Equipment renovation
It is possible to renovate the equipment's base durability that was lost after the NPC repaired it.
What you need?
- Common, Decent or Master Renovation Kit. You can make them, but firstly, you need to learn a recipe; secondly, you need Meteoric Iron, which is a rare resource since it spawns only a few times per day at the loot zone. But when it spawns, you will be aware of it, because the real meteor falls from the sky and hits the ground.
Explanetion
If you use the Common Renovation Kit and the attempt is successful, then that renovation attempt will result in adding 20% of the base durability to the current durability of an item. For example, if we have 3000/3000 items with 4500 base durability, after successful renovation, it will have 3000 + 20% * 4500, so 3900/3900(4500). With an additional successful renovation, the item will reach its base durability, so it will be 4500/4500(4500).
