Refine Material for Lv 171+

[coolWave]

I know there are 4 kinds of "high level" ores.
By "high level" i mean Lv 171+
Three of those four are 10k Steel, Ori Harkon, Adamantite.

My question is that how are they being used?
And what's the 2nd ore I missed?

Am I correct to assume this:
Lv1 - 4 : 10k Steel
And help me out with the next levels >.<

Thanks in advance

I am not sure if this is one of them but would the one that you are looking for be called "Moonstone"? I don't see it up there and if that wasn't it, sorry about that.

EDIT: Forgot to say that the Moonstone is for magical weapons but I forgot the level for it (it was 100ish). =/

The one you're missing is Mithril.

Level 171+ use them in this order:

10k year steel, level 1-5
Mithril, level 6-8
Ori-Harkon, level 9-10
Adamantite, level 11

Level 200 weapons start on Mithril and I cannot remember the levels/gem off the top of my head. I may be off by one level at the Mith/Ori transition.

Anyone knows how the stones are used for magic weapons?

All I know:

For 171+

Lvl 1-5 moonstones
Lvl 6-? garnets
Lvl ?-? zircons
Lvl10-11 alexandrites

[DarkFury]

wer can i dig those stone? can u pls tel me?

[cowboy007]

10,000 steel and moonstones come from the Jade Steel Mines near the Gate of Caballa Ruins.

Mithril and Garnet come from the Silver Jewel Mines off Carbigal.

Oriharkon, Adamatite and Zircon, Alexandrite come from the Precious Jewelry Mines in Snow Hill.

I finally discovered how the stones are used for magic refining..

For 171-190

Lvl 1-5 moonstones
Lvl 6-8 garnets
Lvl 9-10 zircons
Lvl 11 alexandrites

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I dont know how about the lvl 200+ magic rods.

[jeemi28]

how about the pieces needed to refine at a certain lvl? for example, on a cruel gun(lvl 180 gun), it takes one 10,000 year old steel to get it to lvl 1. and so on.. just want to be prepared for refining to next lvls.

[Fin]

bump. wanted to know as well. how many pieces are required to upgrade? and when u say 171+ i assume lvl 170 weapons dun apply?

[Xpecial]

For my Mst Dragon Blade, it took me 1, 1, 2, 2. From lvl 0 to lvl 1 to lvl 2 to lvl 3 to lvl 4, respectively. So I'm assuming that the format would be the same for all 171+ weps

And yes, lvl 170 weapons DO NOT apply.
They still get to use tantas ><

At lvl 5, going to lvl 6, you use either garnets for magic weapons or mithrils for physical weapons. My experience was that you needed 2 gems to go from 5 to 6, and 2 gems as well to go from 6 to 7. My lunar rod failed at that point, so I don't know the amount of gems needed past that point.

[camus]

my gold needs 3 garnets to go from 7 to 8 D:!

[Michkin]

lv171-190: 1-1-2-2-2 (10k/moonstone)
2-2-3 (mithril/garnet)
2-3 (oriharkon/zircon)
3 (adamantite/alexandrite)

lv191-xxx: 1-1-2-2 (mithril/garnet)
2-2-3-3 (oriharkon/zircon)
1-2-3 (adamantite/alexandrite)

OK so this isn't a question about high level refining but this is the only refine guide listed and it is a refining question

I had been wondering as a noob refiner why Blacksmith Marx only asks for say Tin Gemstones for my 30+ hat and what the Med-Quality Tin, Hi-Quality Tin and Tin were for.

Safe for this noob to infer from the above info about high level refines that "as above, so below" that each is for higher tiers of refines? I only went to level 3 so far and all ask for Tin Gemstones...presumably level 5 or 6 would start asking for Med-Quality and so forth?

The Refining page on the wiki doesn't really go into this, other than to say that Tin is for L.31-50 items.

Also, raising my DA with Sixth Sense did not appear to change the chance of success in the interface. Does DA or LK affect this at all and it just doesn't change the number in his window, or does anything affect your chance of success? The wiki has a chart showing level of refinement vs. type of item but no mention of any character stat-based modifiers.

Well I can't say anything about the LK/DA stuff, never looked into it really. But, for tin, I believe it was lvl 5 that he started to ask for med-quality instead of gemstones. I can't say for how many lvls you'll need them for, my sword I was refining back at that lvl range broke at trying to get to 6.
