Why is alchemy hard as hell for some, but easy for others? I had 5 astral/immo and 4 lucky on my bow, and i failed to go to +6. It hasn't gotten above +5 ever. And it is not only that piece of equipment either, I have alot of weapons that wont go to anything above+5. I have even used different characters to try this out. Am I doomed to never have a 72+7 weapon, lol, i've had 52 sos +7 before, but that went right to +7 on 7 elixers. Why is alchemy against me?

its just joymax's way of pissing people off.. just some people have more "luck" then others

its not "hard"
its just shitty Farking random.

Alchemy sucks

that is the whole point of alchemy: to be hard.
would kill the economy if everyone would be making +9 items each day.

Its hard because JM want you to buy more Astral and spend gold.
And no Alchemy is NOT random, the higher the + is, the lower the chance to add the next +.
