Reinforcing

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."

Reinforcement kits are given as daily, weekly, and monthly log in rewards. They can also be purchased at vendors for Crowns.

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.

The 3 types of reinforcement kits and their vendor costs.

Type	Login Reward	Vendor Cost
Common	Daily	1 Silver
Decent	Weekly	10 Silver
Master	Monthly	1 Gold

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 and not worth the investment. 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 be attempted with anything less than a master reinforcement kit, 1,000+ mentor points, and max crafting level.
