[Guide] How to Reinforce (to increase durability)

[HoneyBuns]

This feature was added to the game in April, 2018 before the old official server closed.  Don't be confused because the name is the same as the artisan skill.

 Item Reinforcement gives players the ability to raise the durability of their armor and weapons to 100. Increasing the durability adds to the dodge of armor and the accuracy of weapons. Items with 0 durability are considered damaged beyond repair and can not be reinforced, so be sure to repair your item first.

THE BASICS
-The materials needed are all drops in the Game Arena Dungeons.

-All reinforcement attempts require Reinforcement Powder. The quantity you need varies, depending on the current durability of the item. You will need Reinforcement Powder for each attempt.


-The current level of the item determines which alloy is needed. 
Reinforcement Alloy (Sn)  Used to reinforce items up to 40 durability

Reinforcement Alloy (Cr)  Used to reinforce items up to 60 durability

Reinforcement Alloy (Mn)  Used to reinforce items up to 80 durability

Reinforcement Alloy (Ti)  Used to reinforce items up to 100 durability


-Currently, there are no Reinforcement Enhancers in the game. If that changes in the future, I will update this guide accordingly.

To increase the durability of your gear, talk to [Armor Merchant] Saki in Junon Polis.  Choose option 2 


When the reinforcement window opens, drag your item to the empty space at the top. The needed materials will be shown below the icon of the item. The zulie cost for the attempt is directly under the materials, and the success chance is at the bottom of the window.  


If an attempt fails, you will lose the materials (and the zulie of course). Note that as the durability level increases, so does the cost in zulie and the success chance is reduced. This is a pretty expensive process, and while you can reinforce any gear, most players only reinforce their end game gear.

Boss HB can you reinforce an already max enhanced (+20) item?

[HoneyBuns]

You can, but remember that you lose durability with each failed attempt. I tried it on our dev server with Brave Jackal Boots (20) and failed every time- took the durability down to 1.  That would really be heartbreaking on the live server.

oh wow...pheeew.. thanks for the info. lol. +20 with 1 durability. wahahaha.

When will the Reinforcement Protectors and Reinforcement Enhancers be implemented?

Hi! quick question, ive seen some rainforced items with higher defense than the non rainforced... why is that? is there another process to upgrade the defense?

I rainforced the legendary ones in the image, the dodge and durability got up, but not the defense.

thanks!

It's really confusing. Not sure why the previous publisher decided to give this process the same name as the dealer skill. Dealer class has a skill called "Armor Reinforcement" . That's what the Reinforced Jabberwock Boots in your ss  are. A dealer can take armor sold by an NPC and, using that skill,  they reinforce the item. The dealer reinforcement adds defense and HP bonuses to armor. 

This guide is for the other kind of reinforcement,  the one Saki does that will increase the durability of the items.
