Today I decided to mess around a bit with refining, I took a StrongMageStaff and refined it with 5 BIO at about 55 puri total. Used an Ebony necky, 5 Serp rings and 5 Amber necks. All MC items, and i managed a +1 SC refine?
Just thought I might share Encase it is a bug.

No probably not. I can't speak for this refine system because apparently it's changed but the old one had random factors in.

For example, your refine is given a grade from 0 to 85. Probably something really low like 10 because of the terrible items you used. Then the server randomly picks a number between 0 - 100 and compares it to your grade.

if (your refine grade) > (random number) then refine success.

Obviously, I can't speak for chronicles, but that's how its worked on official servers.

I think you have missed the point.

He used a magestaff with MC items.
But got a +SC staff back.

That's broken...

Oh yeah lol.

Unless they had added SC on them, it doesn't make much sense.

Buy yourself a recovery ring, your a qualified Mage-Healer now :tears_of_joy:!

Like others have mentioned it sounds like one of the items had SC on them as an added stat though?

You may have had other accessories in your bag without noticing, i.e. a platinum ring hiding in a corner.

The refine process takes every accessory out of your bag and includes it in the refine. We still don't know how refine is calculated so even though it takes every accessory, it may only include 5 of them in the calculation (a random figure), so the SC item may have been sucked in.

A server I once played had a bug that Ruby Rings always provided SC- refining mage staffs were a nightmare.
Ruby rings have worked fine for me on here though.
