Alright, now let’s get to the good stuff.

To Purify equipment, you’ll need to go to the church on Sunlumeo Street in Grand Trad. In addition to that, your Wisdom also needs to be at level 2 before you can make use of this feature. The good news is that it shouldn’t take long at all to increase your Wisdom. You can do so by sitting at the bench on Sunlumeo Street, or reading a book on the gauntlet runner.

Once you’ve met those requirements, speak with the priest and choose the Purify option, then select the piece of gear you want to Purify. Do note that you’ll need to pay a bit of Gold and also provide the necessary materials in order to Purify your equipment. The materials can usually be found as item pickups in dungeons, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble there.
