The new Refinement system is one of the biggest additions in the latest Jujutsu Zero update. It gives players a new way to improve their accessories and make their existing gear stronger. Unlike normal equipment upgrades, Refinement works through multiple levels and uses special materials that you can obtain from the new Curse Calamity Raid.
If you already have a strong accessory, this system can be especially useful. Here is how Refinement works and what you should know before spending your materials.
What Is Refinement in Jujutsu Zero?
Refinement is a new upgrade system that allows you to increase the power of your accessories. At the moment, Refinement is specifically designed for accessories, so you cannot use it to directly upgrade every type of equipment.
Each successful Refinement increases the accessory’s level and improves its stats. The system can be used several times, but there is a limit to how far an accessory can be refined.
The maximum Refinement level is Level 6.
How Much Does Refinement Increase Stats?
Every Refinement level applies a 1.1x multiplier to the accessory’s stats. This means the stats become stronger as you successfully increase the Refinement level.
For example, if an accessory has a certain stat before Refinement, reaching another Refinement level applies the multiplier to its stats. Because the improvement is applied across the accessory’s stats, upgrading a strong accessory can make it considerably more useful.
The important points are:
- Refinement increases accessory stats.
- Each level uses a 1.1x stat multiplier.
- Refinement has a maximum of Level 6.
- The system is based on success chances.
- Higher levels become more difficult to upgrade.
This makes Refinement especially useful for accessories that you already plan to keep using for a long time.
Where Do You Get Refinement Materials?
The special materials needed for Refinement come from the new Curse Calamity Raid.
This means you cannot simply buy all the Refinement materials from a normal shop or obtain them from regular grinding. If you want to push an accessory to higher Refinement levels, you will need to spend time farming the new raid.
The Curse Calamity Raid is also useful for other rewards, including valuable materials and some Limitless V2 materials. Because of this, farming the raid can progress several parts of your account at the same time.
How to Start Refining an Accessory
Once you have an accessory that you want to improve and have collected the required Refinement materials, you can begin upgrading it through the Refinement system.
Before making your first attempt, choose your accessory carefully. It is better to invest your materials into an accessory that you know you will continue using rather than spending them on gear that you are planning to replace soon.
A simple approach is:
- Choose one of your strongest accessories.
- Check its current stats.
- Make sure you want to keep the accessory.
- Farm Curse Calamity for Refinement materials.
- Use the materials to attempt a Refinement.
- Check the new accessory stats after a successful upgrade.
- Continue toward higher levels when you have enough materials.
Refinement Is Chance-Based
One important thing to understand is that Refinement is not guaranteed.
Every attempt has a success or failure chance. The chances also change as you move toward higher Refinement levels, so getting the first few upgrades is not the same as reaching the maximum level.
This means you should expect some failed attempts while working on your best accessories.
Do not spend every material immediately after getting it. If you are trying to reach a higher Refinement level, it is better to farm enough materials first so that you have room for multiple attempts.
Higher Refinement Levels Are More Difficult
The higher your accessory’s Refinement level becomes, the more important the success chance becomes.
Early Refinements are easier to approach because you are starting from a lower level. However, once you reach the later stages, you need to be prepared for failed attempts.
The maximum is Refinement Level 6, so reaching the highest level should be treated as a longer-term goal rather than something you expect to complete immediately.
This is another reason to prioritize accessories that are already strong.
Which Accessories Should You Refine?
You should generally focus your Refinement materials on accessories that are already valuable to your build.
Do not immediately refine every accessory in your inventory. Your materials come from a dedicated raid, so spending them on weak or temporary gear can slow down your progression.
A good accessory to refine is one that:
- Has strong stats.
- Fits your current build.
- Is difficult to replace.
- You use regularly.
- Will remain useful for future content.
If you are still replacing your equipment frequently, it may be better to improve your overall gear first and save Refinement materials for a more permanent accessory.
Farm Curse Calamity Efficiently
Since the new raid is the main source of Refinement materials, you should make it part of your regular farming routine if Refinement is your goal.
The nice part is that Curse Calamity does not only give you Refinement materials. You can also receive other valuable rewards and Limitless V2-related materials while farming.
This makes the raid more useful than simply being a material farming location.
If your main goal is to reach Refinement 6, keep track of how many materials you are earning and how many attempts you are making. This will help you avoid wasting your entire stock without making meaningful progress.
Should You Immediately Aim for Refinement 6?
- Not necessarily.
Although Level 6 is the maximum, there is no reason to rush toward it if your current accessory still needs several upgrades elsewhere.
Because Refinement is chance-based, pushing for the maximum level can require a significant amount of farming. It is often better to improve your most important accessory gradually while continuing to build your overall character.
Focus on consistent progression rather than trying to reach the maximum level immediately.
The new Refinement system gives Jujutsu Zero players another way to improve their accessories without constantly replacing their existing gear. Each Refinement level applies a 1.1x multiplier to accessory stats, with Level 6 being the current maximum.
The main thing to remember is that Refinement is chance-based, and the required materials come from the Curse Calamity Raid. Because of that, you should choose your accessories carefully and avoid wasting materials on equipment that you will replace soon.
For the best results, focus on one strong accessory, farm Curse Calamity consistently, and gradually work toward higher Refinement levels. This makes the system much easier to manage while giving you a clear long-term goal for improving your build.
