I bought a 64+4 spear today, full blues for only 1.5m, I thought hey I can probably +5 this sucker without wasting much money. Boy was I wrong.........., 27m later i'm left with 40k and a +0 spear. Basically I just wanna quit, i'm sure some of my friends can loan me stuff but it just feels like wasted time/gold. Any suggestions on how to remove the feeling of quitting?

Dunno how to remove the feeling, but the day I quit I will murder the entire server while i have my sosun set on....sometimes this game isnt worth the amount of time we spend on it.

It gets worse as you play. If that is getting you down, just quit now. Cause I guarantee worse things will happen. Biggest, boredom, and feeling like you just wasted a lot of time.

You either love it or you just gradually learn to hate it.

If you want to keep playing, just gotta really love the game. I mean really really love the game.

Actually I was in a good mood because I was about to get my favorite skill and this spear was also gonna help me grind to 64, guess things don't always turn out how you want.

alchemy is like gambling, you need to know when to quit and when ur ahead, the diff from +4 to +5 wouldnt make that much diff, after like 5 mil i would've settled for +3 and said forget it, live and learn

I think the third tier 8th degree gear is way harder to + with elixer , I dunno why, I didnt have any trouble with pimping every set prior , interestingly enough my premium ticket had run just run out before I started messing with it. I need that motherfukr 5% luck!

I know but I got it to +4 a couple of times when I was running out of money so it was kinda tempting.

When you bought it for 1.5m you should've made a new stall and had it for 3m.

don' wanna be rude but christ..you're quite stupid.i mean i did that a couple of times,spent more on +ing it then the price i bought it for but that's just to much...27 mil ? christ. i only spent like 2 mil or so to +3 a weapon and after that i learned that it's cheaper to just buy it if it doesn't work from the first time.
at least if you quit,quit in glory.
you made a stupid thing..i don't know but i would of felt bad to quit because i made a stupid thing.

some advice for everyone who wants to pimp anything. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU FAIL AT LEAST TWICE IF NOT MORE TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE GOING FOR +5 OR HIGHER! (waste a few elxirs on shields or accessories to to fail purposely). it's pretty much common sense but the more times you fail alchemy in a row, the greater chance of the next enchantment to be a success.

I know, but I wanted to use it since there's hardly any good good 64 spears on stall network.

It's just like gambling, some people can control it and others can't.

It'd be killer if I did and got a luck stone :roll:
