My main character has some of the worst luck I've seen. He can't even get a piece of armor to +2 without using 4 or more protector elixirs (yes I use lucky powder). General alchemy using stones was problematic as well as I failed 5 of 6 tries, and when I did succeed I'd get like +1 to an attribute or 20 hp.

Recently I've been 'fixing up' my 6th degree gear for my nuker. She has her failures, but man does she have successes. The other night I made a 52 ring +5 str (1 try), +3 int (1 try) and 10% freeze reduce (2 tries).

I've also gotten 200 hp on a couple items as well.

Last night I put +5 int on a ring on the first try that already had 3 str.

I have found that I get the best success from non blue items, but maybe thats just me.

The really nice news is that I haven't had any negative assimilations either. It's about time I had some luck, now if I could just get an SOS drop.

Anyways I wanted to post some happy news.

My Char Deadly__Eyez is really lucky with alchemy..
Got a level 64 sos blade to +4 without a fail.
Used 5 stamina stones and 3 of them gave me 100% one failed and one gave me around 60%.
got 73% reduce ice on 4 accessories using 6 fogs tabs.
alot of 100% str also..
And with drops! BOY!!
Found 8 sos/som till level 60 and mostly all weapons..

you suck
im only lvl 19 but i havent got a drop yet
i also had a lvl 26 char
NOTHING
i dont use tablets or elements i sell

I've learned to + my items b4 I max all the blues >.<

I've only gotten my 60 spear to +3 about 3 times, and I've spent close to 10m in weap elixirs. It really sux, b/c otherwise, the spear kicks ass.

Everyones haveing alch luck now. Im gonna laugh if somone like huyfung or w/e comes back with +0.

thats strange, i am the opposite, my stuff seems to work better plussing them when they are already blue


but yea, i have had some good luck lately too,


gave a hat 200hp, 4 int and plus2 it

gave all my gear some sort of blues that were not there before

and made my lvl 48 spear +5 with only about 4 elixers (from +3)

maybe alchemy success rates have changed?

others have suggested that alchemy luck is character specific. I'd tend to agree after this rash of goodness.

WTF...Are you sure you spend 10M to + 3 your weapon???
That's a lot man..
Do you +3 during lag??
It's better you try when the server is not lag..Success rate more higher..

10m....better buy a lvl60+3 spear high crit full of blue with astral

I bought it +3 str5 int5 crit13 for 6m. Been trying to get it +4 ever since. Had a bit of luck today and got it +3 a couple times so that's were I'm keeping it. I have everything else 100% on it except dura.

Any tips on using Stamina stones..?

My past hits were 7 stamina stones failed and 1 only added 10 HP.. :/

*slaps r0x upside the head* You don't know the meaning of unlucky.

Found 2 sos on my character, a 16 sos sword and 32 sos bow, damnit I want more >_<.
