MapleStory M Equipment Refinement Guide

You can enhance your current equipment with new abilities through Refinement.

For Mythic equipment or Inherited Ancient equipment, you can refine it into Empress equipment, and you will receive additional bonuses to the success rate when crafting Necro or Chaos items.

The effects obtained through refinement will be reset when crafting Necro/Chaos items.

For secondary weapons, you can refine them into Longinus Spear, which can deal significant damage to bosses.

Introduction to Refinement

- You can refine your equipments via [Bag > Equipment > Forge] or [Main Menu > Forge > Refine].

- Refinement comes in 3 types — Empress Refinement, Longinus Refinement, and Genesis Refinement — and the type varies depending on the attributes of the equipment item registered as the base.

Refinement Requirements and Required Materials

*The Refinement base and grade criteria are based on equipment that has not undergone alchemy (equipment with no alchemy level).

*To proceed with Genesis Refinement, you must first clear the Genesis Weapon Liberation Quest, [Lingering Question and Fresh Start].
