Grade System

Introduction

Currently in Ragnarok, there's a new feature in order to make our equipment stronger, called Grade System. When an equipment is succesfully Graded, it will get an increase in the offensive / defensive value given per refine and some equipment also has unique and distinctive effect for the level of the grade.

Grade Benefit

Grading serves 4 main purposes:

• Acquire grade-specific bonuses from an equipment. These bonuses are cumulative.

Example: Grade B Thanatos Bow-AD will provide all bonuses described under [Bonus by Grade] for Grades D, C, and B.

• Acquire grade-specific bonuses from a card. (Not Implemented)
• Provide additional enchant options and increase in probability for Enchantment System. (Not Implemented)
• Increase stats gained from refine.

Each grade has a certain percentage bonus compared to a non-graded item as follow :

Grade	Weapons	Armor
Grade D	10% Increase in Weapon ATK & MATK per Refine	tba
Grade C	30% Increase in Weapon ATK & MATK per Refine	tba
Grade B	50% Increase in Weapon ATK & MATK per Refine	tba
Grade A	100% Increase in Weapon ATK & MATK per Refine	tba

Grade Indicator

After you successfully graded your Equipment, the item will have an Indicator showing of which grade the item is currently on. As shown below :
