Refinement in Vanilla MMO isn’t just about raw upgrades—it’s about **harmony across your gear**. The **Refine Bonus system** rewards players who maintain equal refinement levels on their core equipment. When all four designated slots reach the same refine level, a powerful set bonus is unlocked.

| Equipment Slot    | Counts Toward Bonus |
| ----------------- | ------------------- |
| Armor             | ✅ Yes               |
| Garment           | ✅ Yes               |
| Footgear          | ✅ Yes               |
| Right‑hand Weapon | ✅ Yes               |

**Activation Rule**

* All four items must share the **same refine level**.
* The bonus effect is always based on the **lowest refine level** among them.

#### How It Works <a href="#how-it-works" id="how-it-works"></a>

* **Perfect Sync**: Armor +7, Garment +7, Footgear +7, Weapon +7 → Bonus activates at +7
* **One Step Higher**: Armor +7, Garment +7, Footgear +7, Weapon +8 → Bonus activates at +7
* **One Step Lower**: Armor +7, Garment +7, Footgear +6, Weapon +7 → Bonus activates at +6

**Adjustment Logic** If one item is refined beyond or below the others, the bonus automatically shifts down to match the lowest level until balance is restored.
