=== Enhancement (Old) ===
Before the Enhancement revamp on August 24, 2016 in NA (July 14, 2016 in KR), there was only one type of enhancement process that could be used. This older process can still be used if the player wishes to. This enhancement process requires a single Weapon or Armor Enhancement Stone per attempt to enhance an equipment. The enhancement stone needed is dependent on the level requirement of the equipment being enhanced. Fluorite Ores can also be used to improve the enhancement but this is completely optional.
As of February 8, 2017 in NA (February 9, 2017 in KR), the old enhancement process can only be done in [[Altera]] Village by [[Agatha]]. No other blacksmith can access this enhancement type.

You can enhance items with the use of a '''Blessed Enhancement Stone'''. From +7 onwards however, the equipment may downgrade or reset, requiring an additional special item to prevent this from happening. The type of material needed to perform protected or special enhancement is dependent on the enhancement level of the equipment. Only 1 of both items is required to perform enhancement.

When a piece of equipment is destroyed when attempting to upgrade beyond +8, it will become unusable until it is restored through the use of Blessed Restoration Scrolls. You are capable of inserting a Blessed Restoration Scroll during the enhancement process, which will automatically prevent destruction should it occur.

Before the Enhancement revamp on August 24, 2016 in NA (July 14, 2016 in KR), the following items were used to enhance and restore items. These items can still be used by [[Agatha]], the blacksmith NPC in [[Altera]].

Additionally, prior to the Enhancement revamp on August 18th, 2021 in NA, all types of enhancement required the use of multiple enhancement stones and fluorite stones or crystals, depending on the enhancement level of the equipment. Typically, Enhancement Events would then reduce these costs to just 1, which has since become the default.
