# Refine & Grading System

### Refine System

In Light RO, the refinement system is designed to allow players to reach maximum potential. We have modified the Blacksmith Blessing (BSB) system so it can be used to protect your gear all the way up to +20.

#### Refine Costs & BSB Requirements

The refinement cost depends on the type and level of the equipment. Please note that Armor Level 1 and 2 follow the same pricing structure as Weapon Levels 3, 4, and 5.

| **Refine Level** | **Armor Lvl 1 & 2 / Weapon Lvl 3, 4, 5 Price** | **Weapon Lvl 1 & 2 Price** | **BSB Amount Required** |
