Reinforce

Seria says: "Nothing should be as mysterious as I am!" Some info is missing, please help to provide it if you can.

Description

• Reinforcing improves your accessories, armor, and weapons by giving them bonus properties.
  • Reinforcing costs  Gold and  Clear Cube Fragments.
  • Costs increase depending on the level of the item and reinforcement level.
  • The success rate typically goes down as the levels get higher.
  • The cost and success rate are shown before committing to the upgrade.
• Reinforcements are performed through Kiri in Underfoot or a Guild Reinforcement Machine in the Guild Hideout.
• At higher levels, failure to successfully reinforce a weapon will permanently destroy the item.
  • If a Reinforcement Protection Ticket is in possession, the item will reset to +0 reinforcement instead.
  •  Clear Cube Fragments and  Vestiges of Hope are given if the item is destroyed.
• Reinforcing adds various bonuses to different types of gear.
  • Weapons will gain bonus defense-piercing damage.
  • Armors will gain bonus physic damage reduction and overall damage reduction.
  • Accessories will gain bonus magic damage reduction and overall damage reduction.
  • Sub Equipment and Magic Stones will gain bonus Strength, Intelligence, Vitality, and Spirit.
• Reinforcement bonuses before +10 grow additively, while after +10 they begin to grow exponentially.
• Weapons will begin to glow certain colors depending on its reinforcement level. These effects also grow more noticeable and begins to flash more rapidly at higher levels as well.
• The target must not be cursed with Otherverse energy, otherwise it must either be purified or upgraded through Klonter via amplification.
• Certain items, such as Reinforcement Tickets, will reinforce your items for free to the described level.
• Portable Reinforce Machines will reinforce your items for free. There are still penalties for failing the reinforcement.
• Titles and consumables such as  Master Crafter,  Kiri's Favorite, or a  Reinforcement Proficiency Formula can increase the success rate of reinforcements.
• Equipping the  High Powered title gives a 5% discount on reinforcing.

Upgrade Success and Failure Rate

The chart works as, the failure of upgrading an item that has the enhance bonus of +10, trying to aim for +11, would result in the item breaking. Failure in upgrading a +4 would result in the item going down one level.

The Upgrade column is the upgrade level of the item you're putting into the reinforcing machine.

Note: These are what are thought to be the current percentages on Apr 1, 2015.

Upgrade Glow Color

Once upgraded, the weapon will flash/glow, as seen around the item's border. This is separate from the item's base color. The higher the rank, the faster the glow flashes.

• Note: 1-6 and 7-8 appear to be the same color except that 7-8 seems to have a more vibrant glow.
