Changes in Alchemy?

Dexter7 · 05/01/2009, 19:15

For the past few months I have used an alchemy procedure to +4 my items.
I have obtained consistent results in the past doing this, but for some reason this week I have failed to +4 many times on different days also. I tried various items too and was only able to +4 one item out of the group.

I was wondering if anyone else have experienced changes in alchemy this week or if Joymax had reduced my luck %.

Same thing here, a while ago i was making many items +4 and +5 and going from +4 to +5 never failed xD untill it did ^^
made som 42+4 1h som 42+5 sheild, 76+5 sheild and others....all without any prem or lucky stones
after that couldnt make anything past +3
my guess is that they have been reducing it for a while...to make it harder to get to +5 cos thats what astral is gonna be up to.(astral will keep it +5 from +4 which is now)

I doubt it, luck won't last forever.

Same here i went from +1 to +3 with over than 10 weapon elixer and in the past i went from +1 to +4 with like 4 elixers? in the past i think +1 To +3 never failed But now its super hard to get +3

I will try to +4 again either before or after the inspection.
If I start failing, I'll try another character in the account and see how that will work out.

It all depends, on what I don't know.

One day I could barely +4 an item on my premium plus character, wanted to go +5, failed every single time, so I got it to +4 and gave it a low level character without any premium, and it got +5.

A few weeks back I +6 a shield without lucky powders, +7 with, It had no immortal nor steady, actually the +5 to +6 was an accident, I meant to use the steady, instead I used an elixir without lucky.

Maybe this is a way to do it? Not sure, people get +9 for a reason , +0 to +9 without a fail, there must be a way, I wouldn't try to +6 an item like that again, just wouldn't risk it.

Sometimes I +5 things straight away, 5 elixirs, sometimes It takes 10 pages to.

All I can say is that the luck of SRO hasn't changed, maybe just the unlucky items, spot, time of day, no idea. Just keep trying.

OK my luck has changed for sure on my account. I'm working with a new batch of items and a few old ones and I'm failing +2 and +3 now; forget trying to +4 again. Changing characters within the same account to do alchemy does not produce any better results.

I will try again using a character from another account to +++ items; hopefully before the inspection when the bots take a break.

+7`ing items is not so hard for me.
In the first day,I +3`ed it.
Second day->+5
Third day -> +7
I do have a "special place":Rich Village in Jangan.I belive it`s a lucky place just because it`s calm and quiet,no lag.
I always take the role of plusing items seriously.I don`t just click the fuse button.I move arround,play with the mouse,do not click the button if I`m not sure I want to.And I always succeed by doing this.
Now,create yourself a unique style of plusing them,and you will succeed too
