Refine Bonus System

The Refine Bonus System rewards players for pushing equipment beyond the +6 threshold. Each refine tier starting from +7 up to +10 grants additional cumulative effects depending on the equipment slot. The higher the refine level, the more powerful the bonuses become — and all lower-tier bonuses stack with higher ones.

---

📌 How It Works

• Bonuses activate automatically once equipment reaches +7 or above.

• Each refine tier adds a unique effect, building up from previous levels.

• The bonuses apply to standard gear slots: Headgear, Armor, Weapon, Shield, Garment, and Shoes.

• Two-handed weapons disable shield bonuses.

• Bonuses are passive, require no activation, and apply instantly while worn.
