+3 to +0 for a mere 3 million gold!

Limpet · Post by **Limpet** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 5:44 am

Just spent 3 million gold on buying lucky powders and 15 weapon elixirs trying to make my SoS Glaive + 4, got to + 3 three times and each time it failed. No real point in this topic except to say is it ever really worth to attempt +4, is it worth the money i would make off sale ever?

Also am utterly gutted as glaive was at +3 and was grinding happily, got greedy, want sympathy :cry:

Flame away or whatever...

15 mil to get my sword to +4. I win. I am sure someone here will post a whopper though.

Penguin13 · Post by **Penguin13** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 5:55 am

Well, for me, 640k + 6th powders to get to +4 on a kickass spear. And it usually costs me <2mil to get to +4 on almost any weapon.

It's pretty normal losing that amount of elixirs to reach +4.

I used 28 elixir weapon to +4 my sos blade 52. lol
Ask leeleebee, he's the one who did the alchemy.

Yea, my character has the worst luck ever! I've spent over 3mil trying to get my sword to +4 and ended up with just +1.

While I watch my roommate +3 a shield with no trouble and sell it for MAJOR profit. -_-"

So, don't feel bad, i think we've all been there and never wanna go back.

I wasted 19 weapon elixers and 1M gold trying to get a blade to +3. I was going to give up after the 3rd set, but someone told me some tips for it, but they didn't work, only seemed to make it worse lol

I hate alchemy!! I tell myself not to do it, but I really needed the money I could have gotten from a +3 52 blade with nice crit. On Alps, I could have gotten any weapon higher level than I was and +3 it first time, not here

. *SIGH*

Susanoo · Post by **Susanoo** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 4:14 pm

I spend ~5 mill to get my bow to +4 too ... but after it went to +0 again I decided to stop the first time I get to +3 (cos it failed after +2 like 4 times) And now I am trying to do the same on a lvl 52 sos bow ... went to +2 twice already and then to +0... (Am still looking for a 42 sos though)

zexy · Post by **zexy** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 4:36 pm

I remember when i was a noob and tryed my first +3 on a 32 bow.

1-2-puff

Sorry for your loss, keep trying

+4 is always hard, normally fails for me 2-5 times before succes

Korai · Post by **Korai** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 4:58 pm

I heard from the ever wise someone...

and a friend who seems really lucky at alchemy that i works better if you leave a day between + attempts and stones...

From my experience I won't be doing more than 3-4 stones in a row!

The other day I did about 11 stones, the 5 were pretty good

but after that 3 Int1's and attrib assimilation also set in with the rest failing...

the 1st assimilation increased a stat...

the next 2 assimilations brought a necklace and a ring % from about 60 - 0% on both items

On Jewelry a high % like 75% is = to about +2 or +3 btw ^^
