Refinement Points

So are refinement points permanent and will not disappear whenever an upgrade fails?

    Yes, you only loose the reagent(s) (previously known as "catalysts").

    u'll lose refine points when both enchants that u wanna fuse are overcapped! u only get the overcapped refine points from 1 enchant, so take care which one u refine!

    You don't need to refine an enchantment to use it as a catalyst, I don't think.

    Or you just mean anything that carried over from a prior upgrade?

    Once the enchantment is higher enough rank, it will need another enchantment of the same type and rank to use as a reagent.

    Right.

    I mean, if you're trying to go from a 7 to an 8, then you have two 7s. You've been refining 7-1 and you get enough points to upgrade. 7-2 is your catalyst and you don't need to have refined it at all except when you were making it a rank 7 in the first place. but it could have refining points that carried over.

    I was asking if xmousepadx just meant that if you had points carried over from upgrading 7-2, that you'd lose those, using it as a catalyst.

    will you loose the needed enchantment reagent when upgrading like the catalyst?

    ye u will lose ur refinepoints on the one enchant that works as a catalyst. so always upgrade,refine the one with the highest overcap to keep ur refinepoints.

    Ok, this is still very confusing to me. What is a catalyst (or whatever else it is called)? I have taken many of my equipment enhancements to their maximum. Sometimes they go to 40%; sometimes they to to 90. How do I "UPGRADE" them to the next level? If I need "REAGENTS" (whatever they are) what are they and where do I get them? I am getting extremely frustrated with this!
