I have supressed and denied all negative experiences related to my sro alchemy pursuits. At least thats what my psychologist recommended me to do... at least until my next electroconvulsive therapy session <.<

Have patience when Alcheming. Dont spam the fuse button like a madman, just click fuse, ready the items, alt+tab and hit fuse 5 minutes later.

*bleh* There's no trick to alchemy other then having a shit ton of gold or just being lucky [which really doesn't exist neither, you just happened to hit a streak during which probability seemed to favour you]

Anyways... Today I bought a 76 neck for Nya2 for 800k, and ended up blowing 15m putting 5 str and 5 int on it. Mind you, I didn't blow the 15m on tablets or stones... I already had those. I blew the 15m on elements because the thing failed soo much -.-v. 5 str on the first str stone, then 1 int on the first int stone + str assimed to 1. After that it was just hell... 1->1 a lot, a lot of plain failing. It was a blast.

Worst experience include my 64 spear at the 70 cap and my 74 boots at this cap. 64 spear took over 100 elixers to just get +4 [went +7 in the three elixers that followed], and my prot boots took over 150 prot elixers to just get +4.

Assimilation took my lvl 72+5 BR 18 shield to BR 10; 30M in stones later it's BR 14; I guess it's as good as I'll get it for now.

i used ~30 weap elixir to +5 my spear
spent ~40 mil for elements, tablets, prot/acc elixirs

i usually dont spend money on my alchemy :roll:

Hellraider · **Joined:** Aug 2006 **Posts:** 902 **Location:**

Not that big but i also put a Courage stone (physical atk) on my spear, result 0%->0% and assimilation str 5->1.

Then i bought a str stone (ouch) and put it on my spear, right when you would see the sparkles of succes/dust of failure my game crashed.

Came back and saw my spear str 5

failed 18 crit stones on my bow.

Worse mistake I made w/ Alchemy was trying to add some blues to my 68 glaive...had all of 10m in the bank, and went for a str stone (10%) since I had the elements and the tab. It added str4 and attrib. assimilated the crit from 10 to 2.

So....figuring I'd never get a crit ever again, what do i do? Tried to up it from +3 to compensate!! Guess what happened...

After 3 or 4 failed runs to +3 and about a dozen elixirs later I was at +0 and down to 8m....so I used 7.5m of to buy another +3 crit 9 glavie that I didn't touch.

Alchemy is only for the rich. Or the lucky.

Everything else w/ Alchemy since then has been pretty good, but that was the low point.

Bought a 52+6 spear for 18mil and went for +7 because I thought astral would keep it at +6 if it failed. And ofcourse it failed :roll:

+8 to +9... 3 times.. boooo lol

jabbers · **Posted:** Tue Oct 02, 2007 12:16 am

i think its some items are lucky and some are just shet for alchemy, so always go for the elixers ++ first , an try not to get too attatched to whatevr item it is
