Key takeaway
Official Refinement guidance covering Empress, Longinus, and Genesis refinement, eligible base equipment, material sources, inherited attributes, ability growth, and resulting attack or defense changes.
Detailed content
Refinement types
- Empress Refinement applies to eligible Mythic or Inherited Ancient equipment.
- Longinus Refinement applies to eligible secondary weapons and adds Sharenian Ability.
- Genesis Refinement depends on the applicable base equipment and Genesis Weapon Liberation Quest requirement.
Access and eligibility
- Open Refine from Bag > Equipment > Forge or Main Menu > Forge > Refine.
- The available refinement type depends on the attributes and rank of the registered base item.
- The official requirements table distinguishes weapons, armor, cape, shoulder, and secondary-weapon materials.
Materials and sources
- Empress weapon and armor refinements use Dream Stones associated with Corrupted Empress Cygnus content.
- Cape and shoulder refinement uses Life Dream Stones.
- Eligible secondary weapons use Rubian from Sharenian's Culvert Elite Dungeon Chaos Mode.
Results and inherited properties
- Base-item options and trade attributes are inherited through refinement.
- Physical weapons gain physical attack, magic weapons gain magic attack, and armor gains physical and magic defense.
- Refinement effects reset when crafting eligible Necro or Chaos equipment, so the next crafting step must be planned separately.
Prerequisites
- Eligible equipment for the selected refinement type
- The materials listed for that base item and refinement level
Practical steps
- Open Forge and select Refine.
- Register the intended base equipment.
- Confirm which refinement type is available.
- Review material requirements and inherited properties.
- Apply the refinement only after confirming the following Necro or Chaos crafting plan.
