Can 1.Star Dragon Orbs be used to eventually refine something higher successfully?

Like if you use 1 star orbs and mirages to refine something from +3 to +4. Will it always fail? Or could it work eventually?



So it would never have success? Lol the purpose of the orbs is to protect loss of refines upon attempting not as a refining aid to increase chances.

Or atleast a different way to aid

BerserkBeast - Sanctuary

I think it would have no effect at all

Ezehc - Lost City

Eventually will work. Keep trying

Vitenka - Dreamweaver

Well, yes - it'll eventually work; but no more likely than not using orbs.

Combine the orbs to make bigger orbs to make it certain; or don't use orbs at all.

Olbaze - Sanctuary

Using a lower grade orb has no effect. It doesn't increase the chances, prevent it nor make it higher.

Morridune - Raging Tide

erm essentially only way to guarantee past +1 is to combine lvl1 orbs in to higher lvls apart from that its a waste of the orb and you have more chance using the other refine aids

1* orb takes your gear to +1 2* to +2 so on so forth 1* is useless after you have your gear refined to +1. I would suggest you use mirage up to +4 it's much cheaper than buying orbs and then use your 1* to make bigger orbs


1* won't take your gear to +2
2* won't take your gear to +3

You should be able to get to +2 with just the mirages. I used to be able to get to +4 with them, but then my luck changed, or they got nerfed...idk.

The 1* orbs you need to combine at the Jewelcrafter to make into 2*, 3,* and so on orbs. I think you need 61 or 62 for a single 5* orb.

You need to first refine +1, +2, +3 & +4 on your gears before you can get to refine with the +5 orb.

There used to be a guide somewhere - search "PWI/Refine gears"

I dint read everything that was said before, just typing to fight spam. b:surrender

The 1 Star Orbs are again. Only a cushion for me lol. I would combine them but that's expensive right? I could get to +4 Max on only mirages but for my Broadland bow on my Archer..It refines tough. Took me 80 mirages just to get it to +3.

Annalyse - Heavens Tear

Event gold can be your friend in refining, as you can get refine aids with it. I go to +3 with just mirages, then use tienkangs to get 4/5, and tisha to get 6. I used another tisha once and got +7 on a weap but mostly I don't chance it after +6.

I can refine up to +3 or 4 with mirages only sometimes. But my aim is +5 and I can't get that high with risks for failure. So I figure refining with 1 star Orbs...I might get higher refines eventually for cheaper than buying higher grade orbs (like 5 or 4 star orbs)

Oh okay just wanted to clarify on somethings lol

Has anyone ever successfully refined while using a dragon orb beyond its max refine?
To me it makes much more sense if dragon orbs always fail above their max refine but this is not something I have bothered testing.
