above +4

i got told that u could go up to +5 before u have a chance of breaking it..is that true?? yes

how much would it sell for if it was +3 or +5?? depends on ur server, at Alps, plain som above 7M if im not mistaken

and last of all...wat dose lucky do??? more chances to succes ++

oh, dont forget steady,immortal & astral too.

how do i add steady,immortal and astral...wat do they do??

lucky is supposed to up your chanses of adding elixirs successfully
however you should use lucky powder as well.

items like your bow has a really small chance of breaking through alchemy cus of its low lvl, but its still possible.

in order to prevent the durability from going down, add steady stones.
to prevent the weapon from disappearing add immortal stones. (item mall)
but for you to need any of those two, you must be really unlucky

after you get it to +4 you can use astral to prevent it from going back to +0. astral keeps the + at +4 if you fail above it


+3 it and you could easily get 15 mill for it (greece server) ^^
nice drop

thanx
can i only get imortal from item mall??

where do i get the others?

you can get immortal + astral from item mall
steady stones are made from steady tablets, which can be dropped from mobs

the immortal and astral.....is that the only place to get them???? can i buy the off ppl??

you cant buy the stone other then in the item mall, however you can give your bow to someone and have them add it to the bow for you.
I really wouldnt reccomend it tho, what if they wont give you the bow back =.="

yer that was my thought...so i should put steady and use lucky powders. to get it to +3 and higher.

yup, good luck

Thanx for al your help=P

nope. well, at least it wont mess up something you arent able to fix ^^
theres a thing called assimilation.
every stone has an assimilation percentage. the higher this number is, the higher is the chance that a different stat then the one you originally meant to change will change.
example:

you wish to add str to your bow. the stone you use has a 20% chance of attribut assimilation.
the stone succeed and you get str3 (100%) to your bow, but at the same time the assimilation kicks in and the crit goes down to 0%.

the assimilation can only kick in if the stone is added successfully tho, and if you stick with 10% stones, it really wont happen all that often.

some say 30% stones are easier to add then 10% stones, I cant say I have the same experience.

hope this answers some more questions for you ^^

just make it +3 then sell it...
