Why is alchemy so retarted?

[shadow587]

i have this shield that i cant get to +4!! and i dont understand because it goes to +3 very easy, all items seem to be different, i got my bow to +4 easy and so i decided to try +5 and eventually i got it, wasnt too hard, and on this shield i cant get +4? failed like 7 times +4 and then it will go to +3 w/o fail, i dont understand? and it seems different on days, yesterday i couldnt get it to +3 for my life and now its so easy why why why??

Items like ure shield just gotta npc them before you waste all your elixirs on it and find another item thats luckier.

i do not think that item has its own luck.

based on experience in alchemy all items i ever tried to + its just a normal silkroad luck.

i have tried many items that have failed in +2,+3 many many times and i get it eventually to +7.
You just got lucky that time when u +5 your bow.
You cannot be lucky all the time.

Btw if you do not have enough budget for +4+5 an item, just ignore it. it will be cheaper if you buy +4/+5 items.

btw just leave your+3 shield and try +4 it some other day, maybe you will get lucky in the next day.

it normally takes me more than 100 elixirs to +5 an item.

They do, the in-game guide even says that each item has its own luck.

I had a VERY good laugh at the topic.

i had a 45 or 48(i dont remember) shield with 4 luck and it fail +3.

i didnt really mind because it was a drop but still, it was kinda weird.

Alchemy is only retarded when you keep trying it and you don't noticed that you've racked up a 99% fail rate.

jm really needs to make it easier for the first few levels, but to +5/+6 and above, it should be the same...

Why is Alchemy so bad? They want you to buy Astrals...

It's always better just to get rid of the items that are eating way too many elixirs unless they're something like high deg sox items.
