Before the Enhancement revamp on August 24, 2016 in NA (July 14, 2016 in KR), the following items were used to enhance and restore | === Enhancement === | ||
==== <font color=red>Weapon Enhancement Stones | 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. | |||
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. | |||

The amount of materials needed to perform each enhancement attempt is dependent on the type of enhancement used and the enhancement level of the equipment. | |||
