I hate alchemy - quiting

Post by Billion »

So I decided to plop down another 50 USD to get my spear to +7 this morning. An overall total of roughly 450 USD went towards this spear and +7, all completely legit. As shown in the picture I posted not so long ago. But anyway, I believe Joymax has rigged my account because they know i'll keep purchasing astrals. Everyone has +7ed thier weapon, and thier stories consist of "I did it in two tries!" or something completely retarded along those lines. Yet I on the other hand have attempted the jump to +6 to +7 roughly 11-12 times, each time with max lucky stones and i've used every tactic. I've even waited 3 weeks before doing alchemy, did 4 hour grinds, ect. I don't understand how the hell it isn't working for me.

Here's my attempt today:


Image



So I decided to call it quits. I could have got almost exactly 120 months of WOW for the amount I contributed to Joymax in the last 6 months.

If anyone is interested in fully farmed nuker with a full SOS set (except rings and earring) that is pimped and +4-+5 everything PM me. Only other person that can beat me is another nuker on the server (4 - 5 was the score, me having 4) and it's only because he wears a full SOS garment set and sos shield. Other than, every Pure str in the server, even the SOS glaviers and fully farmed ones drop with 3-5 hits. Everyone runs from him. PM me if you want it, as I have no need for it anymore.

One thing I share with you Billion is the problems with alchemy. I spent so much money to try and +9 my glavie and still til today only +8 highest and +4. I don't think I'm giving up yet though...maybe someday?

edit: I have thought about quitting too but look at your character, you're strong and got a lot of nice gears. Why give up your 6 months and give up your hard work. No matter what, it's not worth quitting.

Think about it this way. If you suceed then all is worthwhile.

dang...

But why do you need to make that spear +7 when you already are as strong as you say? Seems a little greedy and foolish, I would even settle with a +1 on a weapon like that.

My deepest sympathy, Don't quit!

Post by Mandrial »

Hi,

I'm a noobie compared to you. Now let's make some calcuations:
I wanted to upgrade my sos gold ring, got lucky with INT then not so lucky WITH STR (10 stones to get max STR). In level 18 terms, it's about 1m including the ring... extrapolate it to lvl 64... The price is millions and mllions of gold, not to mention the time, effort, nerves, and frustration :banghead:

So, sometime we get lucky, some time we don't. Regarding the + issue on items...

I've had an sos jade ring that i wanted to upgrade... I've used 30 acc. elixirs including lucky powder... and got a..... :x

:shock:

:?

:banghead:

+1 ring!!!!!

AHAAAAAA....

So, I've decided to add enchnatments but no pluses!!!!

Best,
Mandrial (The men who turned rings to obssession 8) )

I think he is legitimate...A friend of mine get like 200/300 euro a month so it is possible (he is 18 btw) so if you got a normal job and such it is possible to do that...

Aren't you the guy that gave out 6 million gold for a hide and seek contest? And not just once, but twice like a few days ago? XD
Why didn't you just use all that gold to buy weapon elixirs and keep trying? Jeesh.

i was thinking the same..
I mean you have 1 astral and you went back to +0!
I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime.
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time.
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows pole,
The sands of time for me are running low.

Can it be that there's some sort of error.
Hard to stop the surmounting terror.
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream.

Wtf, you guys are insane. Spending 450+ $ on makeing your wepon glow in a game!? Thats what I call upsesed. People dont play WoW cause it 'cost money' but you endup spending 10x the money in a 'free' game.

450$? get a life omg...

I didn't spend a cent so far and I am still happy with my random char T_T

I mean ... getting tickets and such is ok, but spend so much money for mainly pimping weapons ... come on ... a bit too big amount of money just to be able to compete with CCFers...

just my 2 cents

Going back, I've spent a total of $455 on this game so farm. About 10-20% of that is probably on astral.

At the moment I'm about $1300 ahead though :D

I like the game so I'll spend money on it. I think I'm gonna wait a bit before spending much more though. Only gt+my pet renew (gotta level my nuker)

He has literally beat the game. With all the money he has put into this game, he could of tried a newer mmorpg, recieve the same entertainment, without the frustration.

Thats how Joymax scamms your ass :roll: you fail 500000 times untill you finally reach +7 and then you fail again on your way to +9 and pay for astrals.
You are just one of their money bags -__-

Alchemy Failure / Quitting

Post by Jdealer »

Hey,

I've read your topic and i suggest you don't give away your account. Let it rest for a few days and see if you feel any better then, giving away your account isn't the solution to it... If you really feel the urge to give it away, give it away to a friend/family you know and will maintain it for a while as i think theres a 50% chance you'll want it back again to play on.

Regards,

That's bs. How can he "beat" the game when he still haven't completed his long desired goal of making his sos spear +7?

My goal in this game is to make a +9 SoS Glavie and if I don't make it...that means I haven't beaten the game. No matter how strong I become I still haven't suceed the one thing I want to do.

Now until Billion give up that goal fully, he still haven't beaten the game (except to other people - but to himself, no not yet!)

@Billion - hey no matter how much ppl hate you and how many ppl love ya, don't quit for alchemy. Keep going you will get it soon. Look at me and my fustrations over my own glavie and my last spear. Together I have lost my +7 six (6) times going to +8 and lost my +8 one (1) time going to +9. But guess what, I'm gathering more elixirs and I am not giving up. If other people can do it so can I! Goodluck and don't quit!
