Chaos Armor Enhancement & Refinement Guide
Chaos Armor enhancement follows the exact same rules as Chaos Weapons. The same NPC (Tamir at the Fishing Hole), the same safe zone (+0 to +5), and the same Preservation Stone requirement for anything above +5 apply here.
Enhancement Methods
Normal Enhancement
- Equip Ancient Chaos Armor in the enhancer slot
- Equal-level crystals in your inventory are consumed automatically on each attempt
- Failure above +5 destroys the item unless a Preservation Stone is used
Premium Enhancement
- Requires Ancient Chaos Armor + a Premium Preservation Stone
- On failure: item is kept, but enhancement level is reset (you do not keep the +level on failure)
- Crystals are still consumed
Safe Zone Reminder
| Enhancement Range | Risk on Failure |
|---|---|
| +0 to +5 | Item is safe — will not be destroyed |
| +6 and above | Item destroyed unless Preservation Stone used |
This applies identically to Chaos Armor as it does to Chaos Weapons.
Refinement
Refinement stats for Chaos Armor follow the same restrictions and difficulty as Abyss and Celestial items. The guide confirms same refinement rules apply — no unique Chaos-only refinement mechanics.
