I hate elixer alchemy...
Start:
29 elixers - lvl 72 shield +3 - GOAL +4/5
Results:
after 10 elixers, never managed +3 again - that is until 60 elixers later and 5 mil in lucky powders.
Conclusion:
Im selling alot of elixers now.
Feel free to post your alchemy horror stories.

Just last few days. I bought a lvl 42 shield +2, used one elixer to +3. Still had 16 elixers so I decided to try +5. Long story short, my shield is +0 now. It got back to +3 ONCE, all other times failed to go 1>2 or 3>4. I should have quit when I got it back to +3 with 6 elixers remaining.
My lvl 38 +3 shield had crap BR so I have used a total of 5 stones on it to get it to anything other than 11, it remains at 10 now. Alchemy really ticks me off sometimes. I don't get why it goes to 0 every time it fails. There should be another "fail" type where it just doesn't do anything. I'd be far happier with it that way.

well my worst alchemy was awhile back with my SOS spear (just lvl 16 but my first SOX drop) it has 13 crit, lol most of the factors of it never even had a %, well i used a INT stone on it, and a few others, INT went with 2, the other stone screwed up my crit to 4 by assimilation, got that fixed it i tried to plus 3 it, got it to 2 and 2 without fail, tired 3 failed ( i have a gambling problem so you can imagine how long i tried and i spent all my money but 200k) i did it again, failed at 1, did it again, failed at 2, the last i did was just stop at 1
