==== General ====
Blacksmiths can refine raw materials into usable metals and stones.

* Refine **Iron Ore** into **Iron**

* Refine **Iron** and **Coal** into **Steel**

* Refine **Elemental Ores** into **Elemental Stones**


**Catalyst:** Each refinement attempt consumes **1 Mini Furnace**.

=== Alternative Refining ===
An NPC named **Uwe Kleine** in **Einbroch** (216,180) can refine **Coal** for a fee of:
* 30 **Jubilee**
* 4 **Large Jellopy**

== Process ==
To refine materials, follow these steps:

  - Ensure all required materials are in your **main inventory** (not in your cart).
  - Use a **Mini Furnace** from your inventory. (Note: The furnace is consumed upon use, regardless of success or failure).
  - A selection window will open. Choose the item you wish to refine from the list and click 'OK'.
  - A confirmation window will detail the materials to be consumed. These items will be lost whether the refinement succeeds or fails.
  - If successful, the refined item will appear in your inventory.

== Success Rate ==
The base success rates for refining are:

| Material Type | Base Success Rate |
| Iron      | 20%               |
| Steel     | 20%               |
| Elemental Stones | 5%            |

=== Success Rate Modifiers ===
The final success rate is calculated from the base rate plus modifiers from the following factors:

| Modifier Factor | Effect on Success Rate |
| **Forging Equipment** | Varies by item |
| **Relevant Skill Level** (Iron Tempering, Steel Tempering, Enchanted Stone Craft) | Increases rate for specific materials |
| **DEX** | +0.1% per point |
| **LUK** | +0.1% per point |
| **Job Level** | +0.2% per level |

**Example Calculation:**

A Blacksmith with 90 DEX, 50 LUK, and Job Level 50 refining Steel would receive:

* Base Rate: 20% 

* DEX Bonus: 90 * 0.1% = 9% 

* LUK Bonus: 50 * 0.1% = 5%

* Job Level Bonus: 50 * 0.2% = 10%

* **Total Bonus:** 9% + 5% + 10% = **+24%**

* **Final Success Rate:** 20% + 24% = **44%**

*(Plus any additional bonus from Steel Tempering skill level and equipment)*
