equipment:grade

Grading serves 4 main purposes:

Acquire grade-specific bonuses from an equipment. These bonuses are cumulative.
- Example: Grade B Thanatos Bow-AD will provide all bonuses described under [Bonus by Grade] for Grades D, C, and B.
Acquire grade-specific bonuses from a card or an enchant.
Alter the enchant tables of Enchantment System. (Future Implementation)
Increase stats gained from refine.

Each grade has a certain percentage bonus compared to an ungraded item. Refer to the Refine page for exact values.

Grade	Additional Refine Bonus
Grade	Weapons	Armors
Grade D	10% Increase in ATK & MATK per Refine	No Change
Grade C	30% Increase in ATK & MATK per Refine	No Change
Grade B	50% Increase in ATK & MATK per Refine	No Change
Grade A	100% Increase in ATK & MATK per Refine	No Change

Example: Grade B weapon will provide 12 ATK & MATK per refine (8 * 1.50 = 12).

When an equipment is graded, it will have distinctive aesthetics for the level of grade.
