Prepare for the journey

Check off what you have ready before entering, crafting or changing your build.

02 / THE WALKTHROUGH

Step by step

  1. 01

    Inspect whether the item supports Harmony refinement. Bound, mastery or special items can have different rules.

  2. 02

    Review the option family for the item's type: a weapon and an armor piece do not have the same useful options.

  3. 03

    Apply or refine through the current client route and inspect the resulting tooltip before investing again.

  4. 04

    Check trade and removal restrictions if you intend to sell the item. Do this before adding an option that could change its handling.

03 / FROM THE FIELD

What makes the difference

A refinement attempt can be random. Set a material budget and stop when the achieved option already solves your build's need.

Sources & realm rules

WEBZEN references explain the underlying system. These instructions use original MU WAR wording and practical advice; version differences are identified where they matter. Custom chances, rewards, availability and item requirements are decided by the current client. Live realm timetable ↗.
