    Upgrades the attributes of the item. If it works, that is. If you fail, the Mirage is lost, and your item resets to a state of +0, its original state.

    Ahh, right im going to sound dead stupid now but here goes lol,

    when you say attributes of the item, do you mean the effects it has? or the dmg of the weapon or AR of the armour?

    and when you say +0, is that when you refine and it works its classed as +1? then +2 etc, but if you fail it goes back to +0?

    sorry for all the questions lol, just trying to get used to the game :)
    but thankyou!

    Attributes SEEM (I'm not sure yet) to be everything on the weapon excluding soulgems. So if a weapon has magic +3 on it, it will go up. The attack rate itself will also go up.
    And you're right about the +'ing.

    For the +'s on the attributes like str. I have a sword I put 3 mirage stones on, and the +4 str bonus it had on it didn't move at all. Any thoughts?

    I can confirm that the actual physical attack increased.

    Extra bonuses are never affected by refining (as you saw). The type of item determines what is increased (and level of item/level of refining determines by how much).

    You can take a look at pwdatabase to see what refining will get you
