Has anyone did any alchemy since the update?, i used 45mil on trying to + my nukers set and seriously i didnt get anything +5 do you think joymax could have made the chances higher to make people buy the prem?

Alchemy didn't get harder. Prices of elixirs went up big time. Atleast on alps... alil after the Q8 guys hit the server, prices went up BIG.

It's so hard for me to get +5 lol. +3 is a challenge for because I'm on a gold budget. (looks for a gold buying website..)

I went from +0 to +8 on an NPC 6deg sword the other day, and failed to +9. I think it got harder

I failed a few times trying to +1 my blade so I just figure it's just not my day to do alchemy. Wait a while and try doing it at a later time.

They decreased the alchemy success rate by 5% to motivate you to buy the new premium.

Probably the only logical explination ive heard so far. Still i doubt it though. Alchemy was never easy, this is further proving it.
