What is the default % to succeed from elixirs/enchantments to equips in +1? +2? +3? +4? +5?
How much % does lucky powder add?
How much % does lucky stone add?

Thanks

I don't think there is any such set numbers, if there is, don't believe anyone has figured them out. I could be wrong due to not having kept track of sro related stuff for 2 years.

the % isnt known, tho lucky powder and premium both increase your chance significantly.

Lucky powder + elixir is 100% to +1. Sometimes +2 fails with that but not often. 3 more often and so on. I only go for + 3 anymore. Unless my some miracle I cap I don't give a crap really.

Buy PremiumPLUS, get a new avatar and put 1% Lucky, 4times on it. Always use lucky powder. If you dont get +4 with 4 elixirs the item is cursed, sell it to npc. Get another one.
If you dont get +5 then, put a Lucky Stone on it. If it doesnt work, sell it to npc, its cursed too.

Expensive but alchemy gets easier then. Maybe... just maybe. You have to believe it then. Hehe.

I usally use lucky powder for every plus, when I get to +4 I put a lucky stone on and 80% of the time it goes +5.

I dont use any lucky suit or have any sort of prem+ atm, I seem to be more lucky without prem+ then with it tbh.

I would say lucky powder is the only thing that is a must have to use when doing alchemy but everything else is just aload of BS, in my experience I fail the same amount of times with prem+/suit as I do without them, Just Joymaxs way of get more $$ off of the alchemy whores :P.

You can fail to +1 even with lucky powders even with a premi + and a lucky suit like i have
its just a high % but you still can fail

prem silver is enough,
all prems increase the likelihood of succeeding with elexiers by 5%

the only difference lies in the likelihood of succeeding with alchemy stones,
there you have a 5% increase on silver and 10% increase on prem+

I couldn't agree more, didn't really notice if premium and suit could have boost my success on it.

@Break

There is an ancient topic where Ryoko explains some basics about alchemy. Take a look at it -

I hope it helps.

What? +1 with lucky powder? I often failed there. Had lucky powder and premium. ;)

Or what did you mean?

Never in my 4 years have I ever failed to +1/Luck Powder >.> without premium even.. Show me proof of this.. and I don't mean a screeny I'm talking a vid.. Cause a screeny can be made to like like it failed easy by swapping in a diff item. Otherwise.. I don't believe it.

I have failed to +1 with or without lucky powder, pretty sure it's possible.

Rough estimates with lucky powder

+1 = 99%
+2 = 75%
+3 = 50%
+4 = 25%
+5 = 10%
+6 = 7%
+7 = 4%
+8 = 2%
+9 = 1%
+10 = 1%

Then add 5% or 10% for lucky stones/blues and premiums.

i think the above figures are kind of right cuz they suck !
In that case well...
Lucky blue and premium plus help but not by much.
Anyway..i think they are way worse and as the Silkroad Help Guide say...if an item doesn't want to it doesn't want to,that's its succed rate..
Any of you guys experienced this ?
Trying to plus an item that kept failing then tried another one just like that that went way easier ?

stones don't usually succeed, but when they do it's madness :D

If +1 can fail with lucky powder it has to be like 0.000000000001% cos i never failed +1 with lucky powder and i have done alot of it. I would say it's a mistake on your behalf maybe u thought u put powder but it was wrong degree or missed the alchemy window when u went to put it in lol. As for higher plusses i would say +2 is about 80%, +3 50%, and anything higher around 20-30% for each plus. Really i think it depends on the item as many people will agree some items are just a bitch to + and others will go +7 after only 1-2 attempts. Just my opinion hope it helps.
