# Refine Master

The Refine Master uses guaranteed Weapon and Armor Refine Tickets to raise eligible equipment directly to the ticket's refine level.

### NPC Location

| NPC           | Map       | Coordinates |
| ------------- | --------- | ----------: |
| Refine Master | Ark Lobby |   `63, 250` |

### Key Benefits

* Guaranteed refinement
* No chance of failure
* No chance of breaking the equipment
* The equipment is refined directly to the ticket's target level
* Existing cards remain attached

### Supported Ticket Levels

The current service supports the following refine targets:

`+5`, `+6`, `+7`, `+8`, `+9`, `+11`, `+12`, `+13`, `+14`, `+15`, `+16`, `+17`, `+18`, and `+19`

{% hint style="info" %}
There is no `+10` ticket entry in the current Refine Master configuration.
{% endhint %}

### Eligible Equipment

#### Weapons

Weapon Level 1, 2, 3, and 4 equipment is supported when the item itself is refinable.

#### Armor

Armor Level 1 equipment is supported when the item itself is refinable.

The NPC also displays equipped headgear, garments, shoes, accessories, armor, and hand slots, but only valid Weapon or Armor item types continue through the refinement process.

### How to Refine

1. Place the refine ticket in your character's inventory.
2. Equip the item you want to refine.
3. Speak to the **Refine Master**.
4. Select **Refine item with ticket**.
5. Choose the equipped item.
6. Select the matching Weapon or Armor Refine Ticket.
7. Review the target refine level.
8. Confirm the refinement.

The ticket is consumed after confirmation, and the item is raised to the ticket's target level.

### Example

A `+4` weapon used with a `+7 Weapon Refine Ticket` becomes `+7` in one operation. It does not attempt `+5`, `+6`, and `+7` as separate chance based refinements.

### Restrictions

* The item must be equipped.
* The item must be refinable.
* A Weapon Ticket cannot refine armor.
* An Armor Ticket cannot refine a weapon.
* The required ticket must be in the character's inventory.
* The current refine level must be lower than the ticket level.
* A ticket cannot lower an item's refinement.
* A ticket cannot be used when the item is already at or above its target level.

### Security Check

Before completing the process, the Refine Master verifies that the selected item's ID, current refine level, and card data have not changed. Switching equipment during the transaction causes the refinement to be rejected.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Double-check the selected equipment and ticket before confirming. A successfully processed ticket is consumed.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.arkvalkyrie.com/server-features/refine-master.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
