+5 no astral, 1 try - pure luck?

ArgentEyez · **Posted:** Thu Nov 09, 2006 2:12 am

Well i found this 64 +3 spear, and had some weapon elixirs that didn't fit in my storage -_-.. I knew it would fail, but i kinda waste a lot of money, so I gave it a go.. and apparently this spear has AMAZING luck ratio (w.e u wanna call it)... +5 in 2 elixirs

. I bet it was because I wasted 6 astrals to make my bow +5, now sro is just paying back .... anyhow i need to work on the blues and hopefully get a good buyer. Greece BTW

I've got a conspiracy theory: you have a worse chance of going from +4 to +5 when you have astral on something compared to when you don't have astral. Why? So Joymax can squeeze more money out of people who buy astral.

I wasted 5 astrals trying to get to +5, got to +4 in two goes.

I need to definetly work on the blues and mag %, i will spend 5mil on elements since i have tablets. so that makes it 400k(wep elixir) + 80k(lucky powder) + 5mil(elements) = around 5.5mil - sell it for 30-40mil.. very very nice profit

I'd put an astral and immortal on that and go for higher than +5 if it seems that lucky. Maybe its got +7 or9 in it?

Not to detract from your achievement, for it is a good one. ALL alchemy is pure luck. Case in point, a recent member went from +0 to +10 in one try on a lvl 64 weapon.

reminds me of when i did this.

(before)

(after)

Its a funny story to me cuz i was a rookie and thought that the blue lucky meant it was guaranteed to make it go to the next +. so I figured "Lucky 4 means i can go form +1 to +5!!!".

It did hehe.

Makes me smile thinking about that..Obviously i didn't know what a good BR or %'s were hahaha.

big grats on that spear, it's tough lolz.

when i started i thought lucky meant that i would have an increased drop rate

and for some reason it was working it seemed
i had like 5 items with a total of lucky 10times/....

some boy I met on Olympus made his spear (only 35, but hey) +5 in 5 elixirs ... no astral ... and he thought it was normal ... so goddamn lucky -.-*

Yea i used to think the same.

Apparently someone in our union bought a clean SOS 64 bow yesterday and +7ed it in 7 elixers.

As an edit on what I said before, I finaly got +5

Back when we didn't have astrals in isro, there was a reason +5 weapons were twice as expensive as they are now.

They were a lot harder to make

nice bow, fix crit and reinforce, then start the blues hehe. actually... do all blues first in case assimilations ..... with crit.

I had some pretty good alchemy luck too before all the alchemy stuff was added.

- lvl 16+4 glaive, just an elixer and no lucky powder, into a +5.

- lvl 64+3 glaive, just two elixers and two luck powders, nothing else, +5 straight away.

The person I bought it off had spent 20 mil trying, it was either just ready to go or I'm lucky, I do seem to have good luck with elixers but no luck finding sos stuff.

PsYch008 · **Joined:** Aug 2006 **Posts:** 4451 **Location:** reno

yea, i seem to think that luck is not only based on the item or the char, but both.

p.s. OMG big sig.
