Alchemy tips and tricks

[Woohoo]

For the people who made their weapon +5 and up, how do you guys do it? My highest plus on a weapon is a +7 64 blade last year. Even since then I don't have any luck at all. I tried over 300 weapon elixirs in total trying to get +5 on this 72 glavie. It finally got +5 after I bought lucky stone, I got greedy and trying to plus 6 it, failed.

Now I'm trying to work on an 85 glavie since I'm the first one in my guild and maybe the whole server of babel to have an 85 glavie. I haven't told anybody yet though. Trying to +5 it first and then show it off.

So far I got it to +4 at the moment.

[willemdt]

i made my lvl 76 shield npc 2 times +5 and second time it went +6 but failed to +7
but how i do it just buy lucky powders use elixers and push the fuse button

[_SomeOne_]

ok this is how u make it +5... put another elixir on it

[Woohoo]

lol, you guys are funny. Of course, but is there a method of getting success without failing?

[XMoshe]

Spend some money on astral/immortal, always use lucky and keep trying I guess.

You can also log out/in to reset your luck for the day rofl

[AngelEyes]

I know it's all random, but when I go to + stuff, I always head out to the Gens to do it. I rarely get failures when I'm out there. It's stupid I know, and it's probably coincidence, but what can I say, it works for me. I get no love with alchemy in town, but as soon as I go out to the Gens and do it. The stuff + right away with very few fails.

[X4rd4S]

I see on globals on my server a lot of 85 weapons, and 80 lvl. My friend already made his glavie 80+7 .
Alchemy is b!tch I spend god knows how many elxirs and never made +5.
Altough Im good at blues, few days ago with 11 stamina tabs I made 5 items HP 400 but thats pure luck

[Pan_Raider(`_´)]

Its all about luck,
if you have it all you'll be needing will be 5 elexiers
if not, you'll just need more

talking about luck:
I just wasted 3 elexiers trying to +1 a lvl 35 blade and failed

[Norain_]

ok this is how u make it +5... put another elixir on it

dont forget the lucky powder..

[_Xelo_]

the best way to stay with the luck while pimping your stuff is:
go to the weapontrader and drop 10k gold in front of every turk in your near, u will be surrounded by 153 turks within 25 seconds, so the bad luck cant reach u any more.
for every plus u ve reached u have to type: PLEASE JAYMOX, OPEN A NEW SERVER ONLY FOR MY TURKFRIENDS, it works until plus 11 and a half!

[balooo]

Before 90 cap update i've bought a 72+4 spear(7.5m), 3 elixirs 3 lucky powder.
+5+6+7... no astral, immortal, lucky stone or premium.Costed me .. erm 8.3m
I had 5 72 swords +6 which failed +7 with lucky stone and premium.

There are no tricks, hacks... only luck.

+1

for those who think their method works, its all luck.
Tried +'ing 6 deg weapon with 12 luck stone ready.
It wouldn't go over +4.
Thats with
1) Luck powder
2) Lucky
3) Premium PLUS

I don't believe that it is pure luck. I believe that there are lucky and unlucky items. The point is finding out that item and some ppl know the way to find out lucky items. I don't know how but they know. May be you don't believe me, fine but this is what i think. Lucky stones, astrals, etc. are only help to reach the goal quickly, but the main goal is finding a lucky item.

There actually are lucky and un lucky items, its stated on the sro website.

but thats still luck, right?

[ColourBlind]

Close your eyes from +0 to +5

[DontHackMePl0x]

Close your eyes from +0 to +5

This is what i usually do and it works fine for me!

As i wrote before some ppl know the way to find out the lucky item. If you know the lucky item and how to pick it, how can it be "pure luck"? It is like picking the marked card in gambling

[MrTwilliger]

The only way to find out is to test it. Chuck on 10 or so elixers and note the results. If it wont get above +2, chances are its unlucky. If it gets to +5 in one go, well you can assume its lucky right?

Thats the only way to tell.

[Punished330]

A trick that i tried is after everytime i lvled....i would restart my game and then + my weapon. From lvl 20-27, i got a lvl 24+0 glaive to 24+7 Just make sure its right, or close to after you lvl

[ryUm]

there are no real alchemy tricks
and btw, gz on reviving this thread (last post Fri May 23, 2008 12:28 pm)

[Psychedeelic]

I know this is silly but I have lucky spots haha. My last spot was truly lucky. +5 an item, and 5-6 succesful tabs on it. I think it's just luck though. But before gettin my 'lucky spot' I failed more than 20 9D tabs one after another, it made me want to quit the game

[YangKang]

Seriously, please can ANY mod start banning people for necroing old and useless threads?

[RedBlueGreen]

like some one else said on another topic... if the topic is old, dont reply to it. You are just bumping it more..

just let it go to the 2nd page? ok?


btw sorry for bumping even more

[CeLL]

...so maybe they should have made a WHOLE NEW alchemy topic just to suit you and your anti necro needs??

[LillDev!l]

...so maybe they should have made a WHOLE NEW alchemy topic just to suit you and your anti necro needs??

Look at the post that brought the topic back up, is that truely usefull to post?
The maker off this topic wont need it anymore.
Its not worth making a seperate topic for, so the awnser to that would be no, neither should he bring up an old topic or post a new one for this

Now just let it drift away to second page and hope it wont get bumped again

[Ragnorak]

I think the alchemy % increase from Premium "actually" makes a diff. now
I try making a +5 2hand since I sold my +7....use about ~40 elixirs (not much but I usually NPC any gear that fails to +5 after using around ~40 elixirs) I didn't want to NPC cuz of the 80% phy. atk. 65% ar and had blues already =.=..gave it to a guildmate with P+ he made it +5 on 2nd try I believe....When I was trying used to fail +2/3 a lot.

not saying go buy a P+ and +5/7 is almost guarantee, cuz it usually has to do with the item itself
