Question on Using Weapon Elixir.

sbdlm · Post by **sbdlm** » Fri Nov 10, 2006 1:53 am

I've got an LVL 32 SOS Spear (+3) which i would really like to make it (+4/+5).

I've heard that while using Elixirs, it is best to have Astral on your weapon as it will make sure that your pluses stay should the enchatment fails. But I've also heard that Weapons with (+4) or lower will not be affected when an enchantment fails, it will always stays at (+4) which means Astral is not needed for (+4) or lower Enchantment.

My question is.
I would really like to make my Weapon to a (+5) but without Astral it might go to a (+0) if the first statement is correct.
Does Failure in Elixir Enchantment affect Weapon above (+4) only? or on any (+)s?

Help me... Thanks

It can affect any (+). I've heard that the weapon always goes (+1), though.

Astral ONLY works if the item is at +4 or higher. If the weapon elixir fails at +1, +2 or +3 it will go back to 0. If it is at +4 or higher and has astral and the weapon elixir fails it will stay or drop to +4. If there is no astral the item will go back to 0 with a fail.

Prime example, i have a 42 bow that is +5, earlier i tried to make it +6 and it failed.
As i had astral it only went to +4 but it then had to buy another astral and another eilixer and another lucky powder.
It failed to get back to +5 so i tried again (meaning i had to buy more silk)...

On 4th attempt it went back to +5, but i am going to try and +6 it again.

not that I have a +8 item but if you did and put astral on it, if it failed +9 would it stay +8 or go back to +4?

If you put a lvl 8 astral stone into it, it will go to +8 if it failed to get 9

Wrong... the level of astral is for the degree of item.. If you have ANY level item at ANY plus from 4 on and there is NO astral and the weapon elixir fails it WILL go back to 0.

You can't put a level 8 astral/immortal on any degree item lower than 8 just like you can't use ANY level stone on ANY degree item.

level 1 = degree 1
level 2 = degree 2
level 3 = degree 3
level 4 = degree 4
level 5 = degree 5
level 6 = degree 6
level 7 = degree 7
level 8 = degree 8

you cannot use a level 8 astral on a degree 1 item.

You can have +15 on an item and if there is no astral and the weapon elixir fails it will go back to 0. You can have +15 on an item with astral and if the weapon elixir fails it will go back to +4.

You can have +15 on an item and if there is no astral and the weapon elixir fails it will go back to 0. You can have +15 on an item with astral and if the weapon elixir fails it will go back to +4.

thanks, didn't know if astral worked at every 4th lvl (4-8-12-etc...) or just lvl 4.good to know.
