2424 Refinement
2525  
2626 All saddles can be refined at a blacksmith to permanently increase their base stats. Refinement uses Tempering Materials and does not cost silver. Each piece of gear has up to ten refinement levels. Early levels require basic ores and timber, while higher levels demand rare materials and Abyss Artifacts. Visit Blacksmith Turnali in the center north district of Hernand to begin refining your mount gear.
