# Refine Bonus

The Refine Bonus System rewards players for pushing their equipment beyond the **+6 refinement threshold**.

Beginning at **+7 Refine**, equipment gains cumulative bonus effects depending on its refine level. The higher the refine level, the stronger the bonuses become.

> 💡 Use the command **`@refinebonus`** in-game to view all currently active refine bonuses on your equipped items.

***

### 🔍 How It Works

* Bonuses activate automatically once equipment reaches **+7 or higher**.
* Each refine level grants an additional effect that stacks with previous refine bonuses.
* Bonuses are applied instantly while the equipment is equipped.
* No relogging or manual activation is required.

#### Eligible Equipment

✅ Top Headgear\
✅ Armor\
✅ Garment\
✅ Shoes\
✅ Weapon (Right Hand)\
✅ Shield (Left Hand)

#### Equipment Rules

* Two-handed weapons disable Shield bonuses.
* Shield bonuses only apply while a shield is equipped.
* Dual-wield weapon setups do not activate Shield bonuses.
