How the F..k can anyone even do anything good with it?
Over the time i've been playing SRO I've spent about 50M
on pacific and about 12M on venus trying to make weps +4
NEVER have I achieved it. Always use lucky powder.

HOW DO YOU DO IT?

Well if anyone recently seen a guy in DW shouting F You JM then thats me rofl.

It's so frustrating. +4 isn't even high. I mean christ. It would have been
so much cheaper if i had of baught a +7 then try to make +4 myself. It's
ridiculus. HATE ALCHEMY grrr

But I don't know that when I buy them :S I don't wanna be buying and selling the same
thing constantly and wasting a bunch of elixers to see if it fails +2 every time.

But yeah I might try and quit it. I always say that but I always think "nah this time it will be okay" and another pathetic mistake haha I ahte JM's alchemy system grrrrrrr

All item has hidden luck attribute, it just happen you are trying on some "low" luck junk.

I'm assuming you're +ing low level items..?
If so, don't waste your time.. noone wants to buy things under 7d or 8d anymore, it's almost all about 9D.
Just sell the elixirs, keep your gear at +3 until a higher level.

I know how you feel :(. Wasted about 100kk on my xbow to made him full blue and to repair crit and phy%. And then I tought Im gona make it +7. So far about 250 elixirs spend on him highest I got was +4. This xbow is just unlucky, I tried plusing it and 3 of my friends with premium + tryed but nothing. Last night I made him +3 straight 14 times and all 14 times failed for +4 :banghead:

I am a strong believer that certain weapons are lucky, and others are not. I dont think your Place / Char / Time has anything to do with it.

I myself have had tremendous luck with alchemy. With nearly 15 +9s, and a +11. However even with Premium Plus, i failed to make my Light Armor 84/85 Legs and Chest +3. I think i wasted about 50 Elixirs on them. My advice would be to find a lucky weapon and stick to it. Dont waste your time on things that constantly fail +2 and +3. I know your probably thinking "lucky weapon" WTF? But i have had weapons that have gone +4/5 every time, without exception. The key to alchemy is patience. :)

another proof that each item has it's hidden luck state is the lucky blue you can put on the item .

& i believe that lucky powder increase the chance of the process .

cuz i heard with each +ing you do the success rate decreases .

example :
doing +1 --->100% success
doing +2 --->50% success
+3 --> 25%

you get the point .
