Caphras Stones are used in BDO as a safe form of gear Enhancement.
Caphras Stones bypass the failstacking system and give 100% Enhancement Chance.
Weapons and armor that are TRI to PEN can have up to 20 Caphras Levels. Start at 0 level and gain experience towards the next level by using Caphras Stones.
Every Caphras Level adds attack or defense stats. These stats are added to the character’s sheet stats, for the purpose of determining DP and AP Brackets.
To start Enhancement with Caphras, summon Black Spirit (,) > Enhancement > Caphras tab
Caphras Exclusions:
- Blackstar Weapons and Defense Gear
- Accessories
- Main quest gear
- Naru and Tuvala Gear
Caphras Stone Enhancement
100% Guaranteed Enhancement
- When gear reaches Caphras Level 20, you can increase its Enhancement level by 1. For example, upgrading from TET to PEN.
- Make sure your item is at 100% Max Durability and click the ‘Upgrade Enhancement’ button.
- NOTE: upgrading gear to the next tier will reduce Max Durability to 0 and reset the Caphras Level
What happens if I want to stop early?
If you get tired of waiting on your gear’s Caphras level to reach 20, you can still attempt to Enhance the traditional way via Concentrated Magic Stones and luck.
- Enhancement Failure with Caphras EXP
- without Crons: if your enhancement level drops, only 50% of the item’s EXP will be kept.
- with Crons: If you fail enhancement using Cron Stones, 5% of the Cron Stones will be converted into Caphras exp.
- Enhancement Success with Caphras EXP: only 10% of the item’s Caphras EXP will be carried forward to the next level
TIP: As you can see, attempting traditional enhancement with Caphras EXP can be very costly! See below how to extract Caphras Stones instead!
Caphras Extraction
Want a refund of your Caphras Stones? You can extract Caphras Stones from your equipment, but you will loose 5%.
How to extract Caphras Stones:
- Visit the Blacksmith to remove Caphras Stone from your gear.
- Click Extraction > Extract Caphras Stone
- 95% of the Caphras Stone used to enhance the equipment will be returned.
- Enhancement level of the equipment will remain the same even if you extract Caphras from it.
- Costs 100,000 Silver per Caphras Stone extraction.

Caphras from Solo Boss Narc Brishka
Narc Magic Sealing Stone Reward Bundle has a chance of obtaining Caphras Stone. You get this Reward Bundle by completing the level 56+ quest [Solo] Narc Magic Sealing Stone. This will summon a solo boss Narc Brishka.
• This is a Solo Quest, so you cannot summon the boss while in a party.
• You cannot form a party while summoning the boss.
• The boss will disappear if it is idle for 5 mins., or if it is not defeated in 30 mins. from the point it is summoned.
• There is no penalty for being killed by the boss. However, Mounts must be placed in a safe spot.
