Alchemy didn't get harder. Prices of elixirs went up big time. Atleast on alps... alil after the Q8 guys hit the server, prices went up BIG.

I failed a few times trying to +1 my blade so I just figure it's just not my day to do alchemy. Wait a while and try doing it at a later time.

They decreased the alchemy success rate by 5% to motivate you to buy the new premium.

Probably the only logical explination ive heard so far. Still i doubt it though. Alchemy was never easy, this is further proving it.
