Weapon grinding is the process of strengthening weapons, increasing their ATP/TP and PP by reasonable amounts. For a list of the stat increases by weapon type and maker, please see Weapon grinding (Stat Increases).

All weapons start at 0, and can be ground up to an initial maximum level of 10. The downside to grinding is that, if grinding fails, the weapon will be reset to zero and will lose one maximum grind chance.

How to Grind

In order to grind, you must first have Grinders with which to grind the weapon. The grinder must correspond to the Weapon Rank of the weapon you wish to grind (e.g. you must have a Grinder/C type Grinder or better in order to grind a C-Rank weapon). Different Grinders of the same Rank may be of different quality (represented by a number e.g. +1 or +4), thus affecting the success rate of the grinding. If you have the grinders, you must go to the Grinding Shop of the manufacturer of the weapon you wish to grind.

Finally, remember to remove the weapon from the action palette before attempting to grind it. If you do not do so, you will not be able to grind the weapon.

Grinding Success Odds

The odds for the grinding process to succeed are dependent on the following factors:

  • Online/Offline
  • One's Photon Fortune (only applicable online)
  • The current grind level of the weapon (ranging from 0 to 9 for grinding to still be possible)
  • The quality level of the grinder itself (ranging from +1 to +10 online; from +1 to +5 offline)

Just before the grind, this chances for success is described by the person behind the counter, when asking for confirmation. The possible messages and shorthand notations that will be used for the tables below are as follows. Please note that these are merely an indication, and that the actual chances DO vary even within these categories! Also note that "Guaranteed" is NOT 100%.

Shorthand In-game message Actual chance
Guaranteed There is no chance of failure. 95.0%~100.0%
Very High The probability of success seems very high. 80.0%~94.9%
High The probability of success seems high. 60.0%~79.9%
Fifty-Fifty The probability of success seems to be about fifty-fifty. 40.0%~59.9%
Low The probability of success seems low. 20.0%~39.9%
Very Low The probability of success seems very low. 5.0%~19.9%
No Chance There is no chance of success. 0.0%~4.9%

Based on a Japanese guide and available knowledge regarding rates, it can be concluded that 'L1' and 'L2' Photon Fortune increase grinding success by at most 3.0%, while the increment for 'L3' could have a range from 5.0 to 7.0%.
