alchemy's frustration

[longlost]

hello guys, it has been a long time since i haven't posted anything in the forums..

for the past 1 month, ive collected a lot of ruby and jade, ive also collected all the elements needed turn them into stones. in my first try, ive created about 20 critical stones, and hoping that any of this stones will make my new glaive (i have an older glaive with 11 crit) to reach at least 12+ crit.

when i reinforce the stones into my glaive..all 20 stones cant reach upper then 9 crit!!. its just a waste of ruby indeed. and it also fails alot. from out of 20, 10 stones resulted in failure.

my question is, does stats reinforcement, in the weapon itself, or in other way ruby and jade stones, apply with invincible % that the weapon have in reinforcement of weapon (+ 1 to +5 etc.)?

and if anybody here can share, whatever tips in making the stats in the weapon higher using ruby and jade stones?

I don't think that i understand but if i want a stat raised... I'll use a random stone... usually parry... with 30% assimilation so that i have a chance of changing some other stat. I guess it just helps to think that "your number" is bound to come up sometime.

There is no trick to alchemy. Some days you will have great luck, some days you will want to punch yourself in the face for continuing to fail stones. I would say your going about it the right way though, with ruby stones anyways...i always save up 10-20 tabs for the stat i want to change, make them all and give em a shot. If i get lucky early, then i sell the remaining stones.

Just keep trying if you can afford it. If you cant afford it, then stop right now...cause you can end up burying yourself pretty quick.
