When enhancing and item, there is a possibility it will break. However, some items seem to have a kind of safe zone in which they won't break until a certain point. There is still a chance of downgrading, but that doesn't cause you to lose the item like breaking. Here are the safe zones:

Generally best to follow the rule of safe until +3, but here are the more specific safe zones:

• Tier 1 never break up to +5
• Tier 2 and Tier 3 don't break until +4
• Tier 4 and Tier 5 don't break until +3

Just how high can you enhance items? Depends on the type

• Accessories: Tier 1-5 can be enhanced to +9
• Armor: Tier 1-5 can be enhanced to +10
• Shields: Tier 1-5 can also go to +10
• Weapons: Tiers 1&2 can only go to +10 while 3-5 can go upto +12

Note: You will need a special stone called "Karis" to go past +9

These are the types of stones you need. The tier of the stone needs to be equal to the tier of the item, as mentioned above.

Tier 1-5 enhacement stones for weapons, gears, and accessories

• Elrue: +1, +2, and +3
• Lix: +4, +5, and +6
• Xir: +7, +8 and +9
• Karis: +10, +11, and +12

These stones come in tree colors:

• Green are normal, they have no special effects and will increase by +1
• Purple are Blessed, they have a higher chance of upgrading by +1 and even a very small chance of upgrading +2
• Blue are lucky their chance of upgrade is lower than blessed, but it has a higher chance to upgrade by +2

As a general rule NEVER use a lucky elrue when your enhancing a +2 weapon or gear at tier 4 or 5! According to users of the forums: "The chance of breakage is low, but it CAN HAPPEN, and it happened with a lot of us."

As Tier 6 weapons are special they use a special enhacement stone called "Crystal of bijou" for all of their stages (+1 ~ +12)

Bracelets also use a special 'stone' for enhancing. I haven't had much experience with bracelets, but I'll list what I know:

Tier 1-4 bracelets use fragements of bijou

• Tier 1: +1 - +5
• Tier 2: +1 - +10
• Tier 3: +1 - +15
• Tier 4: +1 - +20

This fragments are also colored:

• Light blue are brilliant and will NOT break and item, but they have chance to downgrade and fail
• Pink are radiant and will not break or downgrade, but can still fail
• Rainbow are splendid and do not break or downgrade and has a 30% success rate

Note radiant and splendid are cash store items.

These are often purchased in bundles (as this is much more affordable) so people use call these bundles. You'll probably want all three types at once anyway, so might as well bundle 'em 😉

• Perfect red eye: Decreases breakage rate by 100%
• Perfect blue mile: Decreases chance of downgrade by 100%
• Gold nine: Increases chance of enhacement success by 15-25%

You should really save the red eyes for when items actually have a chance of breaking, see "Enhancement Breakage" above.

1. Try to avoid places that are highly populated or use shift+z to hide players
2. Try to use blessed elrue for items above +2
3. Use normal for 0 to +2
