# 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.
