Can anyone honestly admit they know what does a lucky powder actually does? If it simply increases luck why is it in the game? It it a small cost compared to the cost of a weapon so thats hardly an issue.

They are not rare so its not like a special thing people can get. So why even bother with them if everyone just uses them all the time? Why not just increase the luck rate by the fixed amount lucky powders apparently "do".

Im not saying apples is right, but maybe lucky powders play a certain affect of increasing or even decreasing luck. Who knows, but it could be a plausible affect. Maybe somewhere in the guide which i haven't read it gives a more accurate description that will disprove what i am saying.

i will say one thing, the only +7 I ever made on hercules, I ..... up and didnt use any lucky powder from 3->4 , than it went to +7 after with powder+stones. prior to this though it got to +6 once and failed a bunch of other times all over aaaaaaaaaahhh

I know alchemy is all about luck.. but I do BELIEVE lucky powders do work, cause I once tried to +1 a weapon WITHOUT lucky powder for several times, and it doesnt work so well but ofcourse it can succeed, but when I use lucky powders I get it to +1 +2 eazy

Is apple's theory directed at weaps, or would it be the same for items, like clothing and accessories?

A friend told me that if you do your item +3 and you log off and log in then try to do +4 and you get a 100% chance of sucsses.... Didn't tryed it yet, and don't know if I have to trust him this time

Not true, thats probly cuz he did that once and it worked...hence the 100% success rate
All alchemy is luck luck luck luck and gold gold gold gold
If u got gold and no luck, cant do anything
If u got no gold and luck, ur a lucky mofo
If u got gold and luck, u get a shiny +7/+9 wpn

Never heard of this 'theory'...are you serious about it?

Someone must have been hardcore to think through something about a mere game :roll:
