15-The Balton Shield can be refined at a Blacksmith to increase its stats. Each refinement level requires specific materials and Silver. The table below shows the stats and material costs at each refinement level.

15+The regular shield records Defense 3/Guard Rate 5 at +0 to 15/30 at +10, with Movement Speed Lv.2 throughout. Both Balton recipes initially craft with 10 Timber and 5 Fine Timber after learning Shields of the World, Vol. I. The +0 row is a stat baseline, not that initial craft repeated as a refinement cost. Subsequent ordinary requirements are shown once per step; duplicate shields and repeated Abyss Artifacts were mixed into the older list. Named sellers for this version: Temir at Cal Equipment. These are purchase references without a first-stock or current-price guarantee. Keep older combat-speed/mitigation recommendations distinct from measured stat formulae.
