Is it true that if you try to pimp your items in the night,or when the server isnt crowded or after inspection u have more chances to incrase something?
cause i've wasted like 40+ challenge stones on my blade,and its still crit 1...it doesnt pass Crit 4...
should i try in the night? or after inspection?...
and tell me ur tactics guys,cause i have to pimp a set for when i'll be 85++ and i dont have so much gold tbh...around 60mill so i cant buy so many elements\tabs...
and its possible to FB a set with 60-70mill?
thx Annih.

I personally dont think it actually affect the thing. Its all about luck , just like getting SoX items. Some people get 2 or 3 in a day while some never gotten any.
Also, as im new to the game , i dont really get what Full Blue means and what does the maximum number of magic option means too..

t_t
Full blue mean that the item has a lot of blues and that they are good blues like str 5\6 or hp 500\600:)
magic option thing...is 9
and it mean that the item can have 9 blue stats on it.
EDIT: does anyone know the name of the tablet that modify phy reinforce?

It's all luck.
Anyone who claims to have a lucky spot or ritual while plussing is deceiving themselves. There is nothing you can do ( except for Premium / Premium Plus ) to increase your chances of succeeding / getting a good % / +.
The accounts that seem lucky making +7/8/9 are usually the accounts that TRY the most. There's always people whining that they can't +7 cause it's failed X amount of times. Well, the guy who made X amount of 7's just got lucky and probably tried before a lot.
For me, blues always go on easy cause I spam stones and can easy make 100% blues. Whites the same .. I don't leave town till I the item in question has it's whites 60%+. But plussing an item is different. I always whined at people who seemingly made +7's every god damn time. But then I had a go .. and made back to back a shield / glaive and earring +7.
I guess the saying of the day is: He who dares wins.

ok lets get the terminology right
when you say full blues the item should have all blues available for it, at the full highest lvl for that blue
but now most say full blue, to get someone to look at your item
and it has many blues, (but not all), and blues with bad stats(bad stats on a blue is not a bad thing, some blue is better than none)
as far as pimping out a full set at your price range, its all up to your luck in pimping out each item

i have a trick to do +7 stuff...
i've got my 21th sword to +6. yet all 21 failed +7 (yes lvl 85 chinese sword)
i've got 5 +6 spears (85). 2 of them got +8 and failed +9.
my last 2 shields 85+5 got +7 with 2 elixirs.
i forgot to count +5 to +6 fails.
it's all about a ritual and a lucky spot.. (yeah right

)

There is nothing like luck. Not in Silkroad. And not in any other application. All the 'random' numbers are generated by a seed, which is usually the time. Different time, different numbers. With an algorithm you could predict what value will be next.

I only admire whoever made a +7 ~ +9 items with only 7-9 elixirs, without immortal and lucky. That's the true tactic of enchanting.

i find +ing with a populated server is easier, less lag.
stones dont matter to me.

Same for me ^^
Also: the lucky/ritual spots = spots where there are (almost) never other players -> reducing lag from other players who are running around

Alchemy's sometimes, and I say rarely, a goddess; the other times she's a one-legged pirate wench who plunders your gold, and pillages your stats.

My tactic is buying as much stones as i can than use them.
Dunno about the night thingy, but the first weapon i made +7 was at night, and another +6 at morning.

put thing in
press fuse
rinse and repeat until desired result
i dont think you'll be able to FB your gear for 70m, unless you have a lot of elements and tabs.
maybe buy cheap sell high..? pimp some drops or cheap stuff and stall for a while, once you have enough gold go for fb

my best alchemy happens in the middle of crowded areas, stones are usually lucky for me, but damn i can't even make a single plus 5 for myself, only plus 5 item i ever made was for a freind he gave it to me so i could use my premium to improve odds. I've tried the whole lucky spot thing, i do have a spot i go to in dw but i always stop at plus 3 there (why waste the money on low level gear that'll take a week to sell anyways)
