Silkroad Online Forums

Wanted to ask this some time and since lately all topics were about bots, traffic, joymax and such, it could be a nice 10 seconds break from the bitchin'.

Alchemy luck. While playing I heard people whine that their weapon is cursed and some saying their weapons are 'just lucky'. Some claimed their account/char are blessed/cursed. Some just say it all depends on whether or not you buy silk.

What is your opinion? How is the luck of alchemy is determined?

My opinion: I think it's likely silk has a play in this. After all, it's the most rewarding thing they can give you. Other than that, I believe each item has some hidden luck factor you drain every attempt to plus. For adding blues, I dunno, it always seemed so much easier lol

Some items are luckier than others. There is no silk or accounts involved.

I think all characters have a secret rating of how much luck they have, this influences it. Each item has its own secret rating of luck too. If you buy silk, your luck rating gets +2%. if you buy Premium, +5%. Premium Plus +5% (or +10% for the other type of alchemy).

some say ginding for a long ime has an effec too, but there is no proof

There's no proof to anything that was said here (even the premium, it only claims that on their site ), we're just speculating. It's more fun than bitching about botters tho

Lol make as much as you want theories but its all BS ...
The item has some amount of luck in itself and you can increase it with lucky powder / stone / premium ... nothing else is involved , just pure luck.

its random

i believe theres atleast "something" to it,
lucky charackters or so...
for example i use 50 elixers on my head right, never got it to +4, then i ask a friend and he makes it +4 in 1 try, togheter with the rest of my set... random ?
some1 i know made 3 lvl 72+7 weps so far with not 2 much elixers, random ? i doubt it ^^

Each item has its own luck indeed but as you mentioned characters do have something to do with it, for example http://www.rev6.com/player.asp?id=183433

he recorded some movies, if i remember his collection correctly he made 2 level 72+9 glaive,
1level 64sosun +9 spear
1level 64sosun +9 blade
1level 72 +9 shield.

Too many +7 and+8 items it cant be coincidence he is so successful on that char.

all items have are have different luck
it even says that when you first make your cahracter and log in the guide opens up.
has nothing to do with your character
