So now my dilema is this!

I have a sos armour wich i made +2 with prot. elixirs...
Now i have a good wpn wich i don't wanna screw up....

When trying to go for +3 in my Sos armour it failed and i got +-0
Now I know this stuff happen and its a bit sour but since wpn elixirs are a lot more expensive i dont wanna mess with this so my question is :

How many elixirs can I actually put in an Item without it going +-0???

All answers helps alot.....

Peace!

just put lucky powder in when u fuse it....

or try to get some lucky stats on your weapons first, and then use the elixir with lucky powder. hope that helps. and pray to god it doesn't fail.

go crazy on alchemy can be an expensive thing

completely random, matters how lucky you are, get lucky on the weapon, use luck powder on it too, some people only make it +2 then wait a couple of days before making it +3 then repeat... huy manages to make things like +5 within all of 10min lol but just matters on your luck no real "after the 2nd elixer it will go down"

if you really wanted to make sure, buy some astrals from item mall... no idea how they properly work though

I know now what astrals are but can someone please explain how they work?

astrals keeps the weapon/equipment item from dropping past +4 AFTER you reach +4, For example, you try for +5 but it fails. You now have a +4 wep again. You have +5 and try for +6, but it fails, You now have a +4 wep again, so on and so forth.

please note: you have to have immortal before you can have astral

So lets say I have a wpn that is +3 and i put in astral stone.

now i enchant with elixir and it reaches +4, so if i enchant with elixir again and it fails does it stay with +4 or does it go back to +3 which is when i put the astral in?

Astral only works when going from +4 to a higher +. If you are at +4 and try for +5 and it fails the item will not go back to 0, but instead, stay at +4. If you are at +5 and higher and an elixir fails the items will go back to +4.

Level 3x Astral/Immortal costs ~$3 US from the Item Mall.

u should use astral at +4, because i Find that sos things get to +4 easyly its +5 and up are harder. so get it to +4 than start using astral and immortal

Ohh ok so I can't actually put an astral in a item unless its +4 or higher? ok so say its +7 and i put in astral.
Will it always return to +7???
