Need alchemy advice

Kay so I bought an 85 shield with immortal 6 on it for 5m last week (hehe)
Made it +6 today, took nearly 100 elixirs to get +5 but got +6 on the first try with the aid of lucky (ie, it still has immortal 6)
Anyway, the only reason I bought it was to make a profit as chinese shields sell for a nice price.

So.. should I go for +7? It's clean atm, I was thinking of pimping it at +6.. if I get something awesome like br18 I'd go for +7 and if I just got br16 I'd sell at +6.. sound good?

input pl0x

go for +7 since it's the hardest thing to deal with atm.

then blue it and get profit of it.

edit: a poll would be nice for your thread.

Depends on your financial status ... If you can afford to make him +5 again, then do it, if not, I'd go safe way ... but if you success +7, that'd make you some nice profit.

Try +7ing it. If you dont do it make sure you got enough to +5 it again. But if you are real afraid of failing, then keep it at +6 and pimp it out, followed by selling for a pretty good profit.

I got 80m gold and some SoM heavy armor legs to sell so I should be ok for gold..... although I did waste like 300-400m on 85 daggers a while ago.. killed 6 immortals and now they're +5 ><

so far according to my figures you spent over 30 mil
so the thing you want to figure out is how much profit you want when you sell it, if +7 fails, then you will be back at square one

for me i would maybe add the blues and sell as is, but thats me

Yeah it failed.
After that I got it to +5 twice but both times failed to +6.

Only one immortal disappeared so that's a plus, I guess.. though my gold is taking a beating and I can't stall tonight due to inspection >< birthday tomorrow so maybe I'll get lucky and someone buys out my stall.. and I get +7 on the first try when I get home! xD
or is there a rule against doing alchemy while drunk ;P

with alchemy i tend to lean on the conservative side

+6 shield with a high BR can make you quite a decent profit... considering how much uve spent to "pimp" it

Yeah.. this shield has turned me off +ing forever.
I will never again go for higher than +5 again (unless I find a sun.. yeah, right lol)

Hopefully I can at least break even selling it.. such a moneypit.
Guess JM gave me a break cause I gave them some more money Lol.
should've sold it at +6 the first time tbh, I only need to +5 my robes and buy pots, don't need +7 or sun on a euro ;-)

Never ever try +7 if it is difficult to get it to +5. Blame the bad advices you got in this thread :D
