Argate stones are very special items that you can use to further improve your weapons and armor. To do so:
1. Visit a Blacksmith in either castle and select [Fortify] I would like to fortify my item
2. In the item section of the fortification window, insert the item you wish to upgrade, by means of clicking them, while in the inventory area (non-equipped). In the ingredient section, insert the Argate item.
3. If you want to increase your chance of success, place normal socket items in the other slots. Each item you add will increase the chance of success by a small percentage, up to a maximum of percent.
4. When you press Fortify the progress window will appear.
5. If the upgrade is successful, you`ll see the Upgrade Success! message. If the upgrade fails, the message will read, Upgrade Failed!
- Minimum requirements for upgrading are: an item (weapon or armor), an ingredient (Argate) and DIL.
- Higher upgrades will cost more DIL and the chance of failure will also increase.
- If the upgrade fails, the Argate will be destroyed and item`s level will drop to 0. However, socketed items and their attributes will remain unchanged.
- You can upgrade an item up to level 9 (+9). Higher levels require different Argates:
Copper: Upgrade +1 through +3 (High chance of success)
Silver: Upgrade +4 through +6 (Lower chance of success)
Gold: Upgrade +7 through +9 (Much lower chance of success)
