Risk belongs to the target level
Refinement never destroys your equipment. Up to +3, success is guaranteed; from +4 to +10, failures keep the level; from +11 to +15, you may lose one level. Once you reach +15, you can never fall below +15. On attempts from +16 to +20, failures drop 1 or 2 levels, limited by that floor.
What +300% means
At +20, refinement grants +300%, meaning a ×4 multiplier on eligible attributes, not ×3. Progression does not compound each level. Affixes are amplified without changing original rolls; requirements, range, weight and NPC price do not increase with refinement.
Every attempt has a cost
Every attempt consumes fragments and gold, even on failure. The equipment is never destroyed. After reaching +15, that becomes the minimum refinement level.
Do not confuse protection with success
The protection seal prevents losing one level on attempts from +11 to +15. It does not increase success odds and is consumed on every protected attempt. From +16 to +20, seals cannot be used: the item may regress, but never below +15.
Fees by rarity
Fees increase with rarity. Refinement and cooking keep their previous costs for Normal, Uncommon and Rare. Recycling and cubes start with small fees; the workshop preview shows the total before the operation. Refinement costs do not change success chances.
