Grade Enhancing

Overview

The grading system is the latest method to further strengthen your gears.

Grading serves 4 main purposes:

1. Acquire grade-specific bonuses from an equipment. These bonuses are cumulative.
   • Example: Grade B  Thanatos Bow-AD will provide all bonuses described under [Bonus by Grade] for Grades D, C, and B.
2. Acquire grade-specific bonuses from a card or an enchant.
3. Increase stats gained from refine.

Each grade has a certain percentage bonus compared to an ungraded item. Refer to the Refine page for exact values.

Grade	Additional Refine Bonus
	Weapons	Armors
GRADE [D]	10% Increase in ATK & MATK per Refine	10% Increase in ATK & MATK per Refine
GRADE [C]	30% Increase in ATK & MATK per Refine	30% Increase in ATK & MATK per Refine
GRADE [B]	50% Increase in ATK & MATK per Refine	50% Increase in ATK & MATK per Refine
GRADE [A]	100% Increase in ATK & MATK per Refine	100% Increase in ATK & MATK per Refine

Example: Grade B weapon will provide 12 ATK & MATK per refine (8 * 1.50 = 12).
