Alchemy tips and tricks

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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 :banghead:

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.

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

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 :banghead:

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

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
