HELP celestal stone refining

Not sure of all the details or even exactly which aspect of celestones you're asking about but,

Through various quests, you recieve 4 different kinds of celestones. First, break them down into two catagories:

Celestone Fragments: You go to a Gem Merchant in any town and pick up the quest Celestone Fragments. This gives you a quest to hand him 25 celestone fragments and rewards you One Mirage Celestone.

Celestone of "insert name here": There are Three types which are, Heaven, Human, and Earth. As with the fragments, you go to the Gem Merchant and pick up his quest for the Mirage Celestone. At this point, you receive a quest to give him 3 human, heaven, and earth celestones and in return you receive One Mirage Celestone.


Now that you have some Mirage Celestones, now is the time to use them to upgrade weapons or armor (not to be confused with socket gems). You take your mirage celestones to any Elder in any town and use their Refine option. In the small window that pops up, you drag and drop whichever weapon or armor piece you wish to upgrade. Below, it'll tell you how many mirage celestones you need for that item (2 are required for weapons, and 1 is required for armor). Now you click on the button to start the refining process.

Please note that unlike other combining/refining processes, there is a good chance of failing at it. If this happens, you loose however many mirage celestones were used in the process but get the weapon/armor back. Also note that quest-rewarded items can NOT be refined.

For weapons, each refining increases the base and maximum damage of the weapon for both physical and magic attacks by 10 points.

Not sure about Armor since I haven't tried it yet but would guess it would also add 10 points to both Physical resists and Magic resists.

It does not change the outward appearance of these items when worn.

Okay, hope that helps.

So does that make a Level 2 item into a Level 3 item? Or just make the Level 2 item better?

something else that travil left out is that if the refine fails there are three possible outcomes

Item is unchanged
Item loses 1 level of previous refinement
Item loses all previous refinements

note: when refineing for first time only the first is actually possible but in all cases all Mirage Celestones are gone

nope only the +x can go down/reset sockets/shards are uneffected
