Kal Online Qigong: what the perforation shot does, the eight black magic grades, and the endurance risk

Qigong is the black magic enchantment on Kal Online weapons and armour. It is separate from the Armor Set system, which runs on the Bead of Fire instead, and separate from normal enhancement. If you are deciding between the two, this is the one that adds abilities to the item rather than raising its base grade.

What you are working with

The system uses two items. A perforation shot is dragged onto an item to create the Qigong. A Qigong Talisman is then applied to the item to add one of eight abilities. Both are sold in the item shop and can also be obtained by hunting.

The publisher's description of the ability roll is blunt: one of eight abilities is added at random, and it can be lower than the ability the item already had. Reapplying a Qigong Talisman to an item that already has a black magic ability grants one of the eight again, and it can again come back at a lower grade. There is no way to choose the outcome, and there is no way to lock the current one.

How to create Qigong

1. Drag the perforation shot onto the item you want to enchant.
2. The window opens. A fixing tool and a polishing stone can be used at this step.
3. On success the perforation is marked on the item's tooltip. The perforation shot cannot be used again.
4. On failure, 5 endurance is lost from the item, and the item is destroyed when its endurance reaches 0. Endurance can be repaired with a fixing tool.

That fourth step is the reason to think about which item you use this on. A failure does not refund you, and a long string of failures ends with the item gone.

The eight grades

The weapon table lists melee and magic attack as a percentage range per grade, plus bonus stats, OTP, HP, and MP. On a magician's weapon the extra ability is evasion instead of OTP, and the publisher gives the example of Ancient Dragon granting Eva +8.
  • Black Imoogi: 2 to 3 percent melee and magic attack, random +2 bonus stats, OTP 2, HP 30, MP 10
  • Black Shadow Dragon: 4 to 5 percent, random +2, OTP 4, HP 50, MP 30
  • Black Sky Dragon: 6 to 7 percent, random +3, OTP 6, HP 70, MP 50
  • Black Ancient Dragon: 8 to 9 percent, random +3, OTP 8, HP 90, MP 70
  • Black Storm Dragon: 10 to 11 percent, random +5, OTP 10, HP 110, MP 90
  • Black Violent Dragon: 12 to 13 percent, random +5, OTP 12, HP 130, MP 110
  • Black Thunder Dragon: 14 to 15 percent, random +6, OTP 15, HP 200, MP 150
  • Black Insanity Dragon: 18 to 19 percent, random +8, OTP 18, HP 250, MP 200
Armour grades are separate and depend on the slot. The publisher lists tops, bottoms, and then helmet, gloves, boots and shields together, with defence ranges and a random bonus stat.
  • Tops: Black Imoogi 6 to 8, Black Shadow Dragon 10 to 12, Black Sky Dragon 14 to 16, Black Ancient Dragon 18 to 21, Black Storm Dragon 24 to 28, Black Violent Dragon 32 to 36, Black Thunder Dragon 40 to 45, Black Insanity Dragon 50 to 60
  • Bottoms: same grade order, 6 to 8 up to 50 to 60, with the random bonus stat reaching +6 at the top grade instead of +7
  • Helmet, gloves, boots and shields: same grade order, 6 to 8 up to 50 to 60, with the random bonus stat reaching +5 at the top grade
Read those as three separate rows rather than one shared ladder. A Black Insanity Dragon helmet and a Black Insanity Dragon top have the same defence range but different top bonus stats, because the publisher tracks them in different tables.

Practical notes

The publisher states that the system can be expanded later, so the grade list is what the page publishes and not a ceiling. Everything above comes from the publisher's own guide, and the endurance loss and the item destruction on zero endurance are stated in its instructions rather than inferred.
