Weapon Augmentation

All weapons that are C Grade through S Grade can be augmented through the Blacksmith in each town. You will need the weapon, an appropriate level Life Stone and gemstones. You can show your weapon to the blacksmith in town and he will tell you how many gemstones you require.

C / B Grade weapons require Gemstone D. - Buy in any town except starting villages.
A / S Grade weapons require Gemstone C. - Buy in Giran, Goddard, Heine, Oren, Rune and Schuttgart.

The augmented weapon cannot be exchanged, dropped, traded, sold, freighted, or deposited in the clan warehouse. However, private warehouse storage is possible.

Weapons with special abilities or an enchantment (+) can be augmented. It is also possible to add these to augmented items.

An augmented weapon cannot be used for crafting dual swords or be used to trade with the Blacksmith of Mammon.

Bonuses Granted
The bonus granted during augmentation is random, determined by the levels of the Life Stone and the weapon. The success rate is 100%. The types of bonuses include:

Increased basic abilities (STR, CON, INT, MEN)
Increased battle values (P. Atk., P. Def., M. Atk., Accuracy, etc.)
Additional skill (Active, Passive, Chance skill)

The bonus will not take effect when the augmented weapon has a higher grade than the character’s expertise level.

Removing an Augment

The Blacksmith in town can also remove augmentations from your weapon. You will be charged an adena fee for this service. Any special ability or enchant status (+) on your weapon will not change when you remove an augment.
