Argating:
Argating is used to + your weapon or armour to help improve its stats ( Defence or Attack ). You can use 3 argates at different levels:
+1 - +3 = Copper Argate
+4 - +6 = Silver Argate
+7 - +9 = Gold Argate
You can find these argates by killing Akris. My favourite place to kill these are Loa Castle, Frozen Valley Of Vengeance, Heiharp and Denebe. They drop 3 argates each time and are easy to kill.
You can also exchange argates:
1 Gold = 2 Silvers
1 Silver = 2 Golds
2 Coppers = 1 Silver
2 Silvers = 1 Gold
This is next to the blacksmith.
This is where you find them:
https://s1006.photobucket.com/albums/af189/xmonster/?action=view¤t=where.jpgThe success rates are pretty low if i am honest and +9 is hard to get, but is achievable
Talisman can be purchased in the d-shop and will increase your success rate by 10%.
Rates:
+1 - 95%
+2 - 85%
+3 - 78%
+4 - 68%
+5 - 58%
+6 - 50%
+7 - 27% If fail, item will break.
+8 - 18% If fail, item will break.
+9 - 10% If fail, item will break.
Here is how you argate:
1. You click the item ( only sets( pants,gloves,boots,armour,helm) or weapon can be +) you wish to argate and it will be placed into argating slot.
2. You then click the argate you need to use depending on the + of your weapon. Add Talisman if necessary, advised for +7 or above as weapon will break if it fails +7 or above.
3. Click the button and hope it goes well
4. If the item fails from +1 - +6 then the item will go back to normal, however if you are going for +7 or above and fail the item will break and disappear.
Here is a picture to help you:
https://s1006.photobucket.com/albums/af189/xmonster/?action=view¤t=Argating.jpgSocketing:
Socketing is used to create sockets in weapons which then you can place gems in to help increase your resistance or defence ( armour or helmet ) or attack gems which help increase your attack in certain elements ( weapon ).
However in socketing you can place up to 5 gems in with the weapon to help improve the % of the success rate, the success rate also depends the level ( 145 for example ) of the weapon.
This is much simpler then argating.
If you fail to place a socket in the weapon and you already have a socket in there, the socket will be lost * so make sure you place gems in AFTER it is fully socketed*
How to socket:
1. click the item you wish to socket ( weapon,helmet and armour)
2. place the extra gems you wish to help increase the % rate
3. click the button and hope it goes well
** THE GEMS YOU PUT IN TO INCREASE THE SUCCESS RATE WILL NOT BE THE ONES IN THE WEAPON*
