Anybody have alchemy tips and tricks they want to share?

I got one, so you want to +5 that weapon or gears you just go as a drop.

Well first, dont add any blues to it yet.

There are two ways you can go. Fix white % first or + it. This is what I think, the higher the + the item is, the harder it is to obtain high % on white or blues. But most people + first, then fix white % and blues last. This is what I believe, dont know if that have anythign to due with luck or not.

You got it +1, +2, +3, now you want to go to +4. Then as expected fail. Now here's the most important part, if you fail going to +4. The next thing you want to do getting +1 again is not use lucky powder. Try burning one elixir without using lucky powder. If it success, then now it might go to +5. If it failed, then now you just reset the failure rate, the favor are still in your, the success randomness rate will come back again. So if it burning an elxiir, then use luckdy powder +1 it.

This free tips and tricks brought to you by Woohoo. =)

Grats...But every item has it's own luck so it's totally random.

Buy a premium. Its the best trick you can do.

True,each items have their own luck.
You can increase it with lucky power,stone lucky,premium(+) only.
THe only think that can decrease your luck is the lags(that why many people go to jangan or sarmakand to do alchemy).

I have had more luck when it's laggy actually, that's a bad/untrue myth. It doesn't matter.

Lag is not true. In fact I think lag kinda helps especially with blues. I wouldnt recommend +ing while it lag though.

I would just stand near the teleportation and add blues and white %, most of the time it gives me great % and 100% blues.

I have alot of tricks that I used so far, but mostly its about item, if is lucky it will be easy to ++
I made daggers other day +7 when I made them +5 i loged off and soon as i entered i tryed +6 and made it tomorow did same thing for +7. Im gona try them +9 probably and probably will fail but who knows .
Other thing that I do, Im using few items when plusing, for example. I make ring +3 shield +3 boots +3 and weapon +4 then I try ring, fail shield fail, boots go +4 then again I made them +3. Thats how I made a looot +6 and few +7 items. Always wait for few fail in a raw it works for me.

Press fuse and hope for the best, It's all luck. The only thing I always do is go somewhere where I am not going to lag while doing it.

It is item luck for sure, and "resetting the fail ratio" is a bunch of crap, I have had a straight failure streak of 13 in a row, of course trying to +up several highly +ed items at once

The only thing I have noticed is patterns on certain items, never has there been a wide pattern to all of alchemy success.

My motto for alchemy is, it's either going to go or it's not.

Lag affects nothing with alchemy. Ever.

Tbh there just isnt any tips, ive done a lot of alchemy and at the end of the day its just luck. There does seem to be a pattern of good/bad luck though with some days/weeks just not being able to +5/6/7 anything and other days/weeks everything works, its weird.

As for lag not affecting alchemy - true, there is no reason it should affect it however ive never had good alchemy when ive lagged.

The only tip I can think of is: Listen to your gut instincts - they are normally right. So if you your gut tells you its going to success it probably will and vice versa ..ok lol thats just a load of bolloks, but it might work for some of you

interesting!
i am gonna try it later

if your in hotan, go to the turtles, drop wep(item etc)-elixer-lucky powder, has to be in that EXACT order for it to work. Alchemy ussualy works when I do it thar

Sad thing is that many people is gona try that.

I made two +7s there. Didn't drop anything, but two +7s that cost me a combined total of 75m. (Daggers, xbow, lucky, elixers, powders, steady etc)

very nice..
although a frind of mine just made a shield +7 with 7 elixirs. still 75M for 2 +7s is fantastic.

What I do is buy pre good %s crit weapons. I buy like 5 weapons and I +3 them all. Then I try +4 and 3/5 are successful. Then I +3 the failed ones. Then I +4 1/2. So now I +5 and usually 2/4 will go +5. Then I keep trying it. I make an average of 5 +5 weapons for around 30-50m. I stall each without blues for 30m. Then I make over 100m profit a week. There has been a time where I +5 all 5. I tried +6 and 3/5 succeeded. So I tried +7 and 2 succeeded. So I made bank $$$

I'm gonna camp that turtle area with my wiz :>
