Alchemy questions: immortal, astral, elixers

[flexo]

hej i have this bow



i thought i understood how asteral and immortal worked but obviously i don't. because i had this bow at +3 so i added 3 asteral and i already had 6 immortal so i thought that now when i would try to upgrade it with a elixer that it could not go below +3 anymore and that if it failed it would just take away 1 asteral and stay at +3. But it went back to +0 so i'm lost here

if someone could just explain how these things work. And while your at it.. what's the diffrence between steady and lucky i know..(but now i'm not sure) that lucky is just like lucky powder so what does steady do??

anyway some info would me much appreciated

astral: if u get ur weapon to +4 and it has astral and u try to +5 it and it fails then it will not go below +4

lucky: gives u more chance of success

steady: once the weapon is +5 if u try to + it then it will not loose durability, where as if u do not have steady and u try to + it more and it fails then the durability will go down.

read the description on astral. it only works on +4 or above. put some lucky on it, then +4 it. after that, astral will kick in, so if u fail to +5, it will still be +4.

immortal prevents breakage
steady prevents durability decrease

btw, it's a beautiful bow =)
