Refining Twilight Temple items can also be expensive - since you will either want to decompose those items to make later ones, or you need to acquire a second set. Most people will only refine legendary and Twilight Temple gear that they might wear for a while to +4, and only refine their end level gear.<br>
			<br>
			Typical end level gear is either Rank-8, Rank-9 or Grade 15/Grade 16 Nirvana equipment. These types of equipment are upgradeable, but you can transfer the refines for a price. See the [[Chienkun_Transfer_Charts]] for costs.

	Refining is a method of enhancing your gear by adding bonus stats to it. After each successful refine the refinement level of the equipment will increase up to a maximum of +12. Refining equipment adds HP, attack, or ~~defense~~ depending on the piece refined. In every major city, The Elder has the ability to "Refine Equipment" for you. The only required items to refine a piece of equipment are Mirage Celestones but there are also refinement aids that will increase your chances of successful refinements. You will need 2 stones for weapons and 1 stone for armor. As your equipment levels up, it will gain a specific effect depending on the type of equipment. For example, if you have a Robe with level 1 refinement and gained a +13 to health then a level 2 refinement would yield 13 × 2 = +26 HP. For more information, refer to the Refining Bonuses chart below.		Refining is a method of enhancing your gear by adding bonus stats to it.
