Experience with Alchemy

Post by Goldwynn »

My first experience existed out of turning tablets into stones & selling them.

Now, in my thirties, I tried serious alchemy. Four times elixer + lucky powder, from
zero to four. Bought a jade lucky tablet, made a stone, added it, then elixer and powder.
Now +5. Since the "lucky" blues disappeared, I think this is the maximum. Don't want to
ruin a 100 M SOM weapon.

Think ruby stones are more risky then jade stones, has directly impact on your white stats. Jade is better, effects the blue stats. I know INT en STR can get up 1 to 5. Is the upgrade performed 1-2-3-4-5 or at random, maybe to 4 or 5 at once? Each time with a possible fall back to zero, of course.

I've got a nice formula for calculating the white states. But what's the effect of the blues?
Can't imagine a INT 5 (100%) doubles the power of my weapon.

At last I think the best way (and bottom line the cheapest) is to buy SOx gear and upgrade it just a bit. I've got a necklace and mitten, 0-1-2-0-1-2-0-1-2 stop. I give all equipment two chances and then I stop. Use the item, since it's Sox, it's rather good. Look now and then to buy another, don't waste your gold on endless frustration. Except the rings my Sox collection is complete and +2 or +3, however still in the locker, I wait till lvl 40-42, first a periode of gapping. Thanks to the SOM weapon this is possible finally.

Keep it at +5. good enough.

No, INT just gives you extra INT and increases your magical attack power.

Theres only magic stone drops of luck? I mean I have never had one like I said, just stones from drops. But why would a site like rev6 list them if they dont exist. Dont see why you couldnt make your own stone from a tablet of luck...

@XMoshe,

As 'The most famous answer giving senior player' you should have seen there's not one but even two questions in the post, old chap.

One about the way blues upgrade 1-2-3-0-1-2-3-4-5 or 2-0-4-0-1-0-5, so with or without a reset after each usage of a stone. Randomizing or step by step upgrading?
The other is about the impact of the blues at the character. Suppose a blue of INT 5 (100%): this means a doubling of my char's power? Or not?

Finally: Yep try so share some experience too, not only taking but also giving something to this forum.

Stones are random, now matter what type. So the true result when upgrading blues can be 0-5, or 0-4-1-2-4-3-5 or whatever value is max. Int maxes out at 3,4,5,6,7 depending on degree. You'll notice when it says 100%.
Impact of the blue is what it is. Int 5 will add 5 int. This is roughly almost 1 extra level in power. ROUGHLY, 1 actual level is a better boost imo. But int 5 will basically let you, say a lvl 40 hit like a lvl 41. It just basicaly gives you more int points. This helps as if you had max blues, you'd have like an extra 30 or 70 int/str. Quite a bit of extra hp/mp and dmg.

Hehe now you say so I did see those questions but I guess I thought you answered them yourself already >.< Fail xP

+1 to ^ I guess, stones are random and the dmg increase is only notice-able if you got like 3-5 int on almost every part.

Also I have never seen a lucky tablet either of any degree and no luck stones under 6d.
