Refining
The basics
Refine with the Refine NPC (or a Whitesmith's Weaponperfection-line tools). Weapons and armor go up to +20. Each level adds stats; higher levels add more but fail more.
- Safe zone — low refines won't break on failure, they just don't go up.
- Above safe — a failure can destroy the item (weapons) or downgrade it (armor), depending on the material.

Then what
Once an item is well-refined, Grade Enhancement adds a letter grade (D → A) on top for another bonus tier.
