Enhancement Guide

From Fiesta Wiki

Revision as of 09:24, 27 April 2008

You want a shiny cool weapon like everyone else, right? But you don't know how to do it? Here is a quick guide on how to get it. Enhancing a weapon is simply upgrading it by adding extra damage, and adding a cool looking effect to it. But enhancing doesn't just stop there, it can also be done to armor to increase the defense they give, but they won't have any extra appearance effects.

Basics

Items For Enhancing

• Items Needed For a Weapon/Armor Enhancing
  • A Weapon/Armor
  • Elrue/Lix/Xir
  • A bit of luck and/or (perfect) Red Eyes or Blue Miles from the Fiesta Store

• About The Stones
  • Elrue/Lix/Xir are items that are used to upgrade weapons and armors.
  • Most usable items have tiers. Tiers are item classes, and you must use a Elrue/Lix/Xir that is the same tier as the item you want to refine.
  • Elrue upgrades from +1 to ~+3, Lix from +4 to +6 and Xir from +7 to +9.
  • Aside from different tiers of items, the Elrue/Lix/Xir all have different types, which are Normal(green), Blessed(purple) and Lucky(blue). The different types affect different things. Lucky raises by +2 instead of +1 by a small chance, blessed decreases chance of breaking, and also has a small chance of a +2. Normal does what it's supposed to.

• About The Cash-Shop Perfects and Gold Nine
  • Perfects/Gold Nine have the same Tier structure as stones, weapons and armor but they are referred to as Grades on Perfects/Gold Nine. You must use a Perfect/Gold Nine that is the same class/tier as the item you want to refine.
  • There are two options of Perfects - Perfect Red Eye & Perfect Blue Mile.
    • Perfect Red Eye decreases the breakage rate by 100% when enhancing.
    • Perfect Blue Mile decreases the chance of enhancement level degradation by 100% when enhancing.
  • Gold Nine increases the chance of enhancement success by 15% when enhancing.

How To Get Elrue/Lix/Xir

• Stone Alchemy(Production Skill)
• Monster Drops
• Mining
• Quest Rewards
• Kingdom Quest Rewards
• Treasure Chest

If you choose to make your own stones with the Stone Production Skill, first press "K" and go to the Alchemy tab. Learn Stone Production (-NOTE- You can only learn a maximum of 2 out of the 5 skills for the entirety of the game (unless you buy cash shop items)). Then go to the skill NPC in any town. Learn the Stone Recipe Skills. Right click the item and learn the recipe. Now press "K" and drag the stone production skill to the skill try and/or right click it.

Now you'll open up a window with Elrue in the list. If you see Tier 1 all in green you did it correctly so far. Now click the Elrue (The first one that appears) start making them if you can. If you cannot go kill some monsters that drop the item(s) that you need. Now you have some Elrue stones.

How To Enhance

To enhance something you must go to a Weapons Smith. After you find one, talk to him and click the "Refine Weapon" button. Another window will open with many boxes inside it. The center box is for the weapon or armor you wish to refine. The other 8 boxes around it are for the Elrue/Lix/Xir to go in.

The process of enhancing is simple, and requires nothing more than luck. You pick one of the 8 boxes for the Elrue/Lix/Xir and drag and drop it in. If you have more than one Elrue, you may need to separate one into a separate pile of its own. To do so, hold the "Left Shift" key and click on the Elrue, and set "Item Allocation" to "1", press OK, and click in an empty inventory square. Alternatively, you can simply allow the default number generated in the "Item Allocation" box, press OK, and click in an empty inventory space and achieve the same results.

After you have one Elrue ready, click the button in the lower left area of the refine window to start the process. The enhancing is successful if the spinning star lands on the box opposite of where you placed your Elrue/Lix/Xir. If it was successful then it will gain +1. If it doesn't land there, then 1 of 3 things will happen. Your item will remain the same, your item will decrease a level of enhancement, or your item may be destroyed. This is the basics of enhancing. If you click the button and your item disappears, it has been destroyed. Some say the more you break the more luck you have on the enhancing skills. [Unconfirmed] Note-from Zxypher most of the time from lv 1-3 it will be in either the uper left or the lower right. Zxypher is right.

Suggestion: At levels under 20, you should only enchant your weapons and armor to +3 (3 Elrues) as you will advance to level 20 quickly. Also, you should only risk enchanting your equipment if you have enough money for a replacement piece. If you don't, you may find yourself without anything to wear! If you do break your item and have no more money to buy a new one, use your old weapon. You should not sell your old weapons until you are sure you don't need it.

The lower 3 boxes (They Are Red,Blue,Gold) Are used to place red eye or blue mile (red eye decreases chance of fail rate by 50%, perfect red eye decreases rate by 100%, blue mile are the same but only decrease downgrade rate). Red Eye and Blue Mile are purchased in fiesta store. (Before you go crazy about red eye, Failure means Breakage. It can still can fail or downgrade) Then if you use a perfect red eye and a perfect blue mile in the same time you can only fail or success. The gold spot is used for an item, usually only obtainable by GM events, which increases the chance of success by a small percentage. (Rumours are 15%?)
