So after 7 failed attempts at +4 -> +5 with lucky powder and only one elixir left and no lucky powder, I'm like w/e and just use the elixir. Success! Okay JoyMax, haha at your little joke.

A few hours later I fail 3 times +4 -> +5 with lucky powder so I think "hell, it worked last time" and give it a go without lucky and success!

A few hours after that, on yet another item, I fail 3 times +4 -> +5 and I'm thinking the whole time "there's no way" but I give it a go and yep, you guessed it: success with no lucky.

So out of 16 attempts to +5, I was 0 for 13 with lucky powder and 3 for 3 without. Bug or incredible coincidence? You decide.

nope, joy max wants you to spend your gold on lucky powders. i believe that they lower the % that it will be a success. its the truth, deal with it and don't argue :P

Logic would dictate that if you wanted to increase your chance of a successful enchantment, you would use luck stones, lucky powder, and a premium ticket. Do everything you can to increase your in-game probability. The fact that you had 3 consecutive successes without lucky powder to get +5 is just a statistical anomaly :/ (summary: you got lucky)

Nothing but an incredible coincidence, maybe next time you're on, maybe you can +5 some of my stuff since I've no luck for doing that XD

From now on, if I fail +4 -> +5 with lucky two or three times in a row, my next attempt will be without lucky. Still no trick for +6 -> +7, however :(

So I'm off to buy a lotto ticket but I need to spill some salt first and walk under a ladder.

I hate people posting and bragging here on the boards that they + this item to 5 or up with out proof of doint it. If in the first place you dont have SS, then dont post it anyway.

Unfortunately 8th degree lucky powder won't work so well because these are lower level items.

And yeah, like cin said the point of the story wasn't "look at me, I can +5 three items." It was about either 1) a hugely improbable experience or 2) some weird glitch or algorithm bug. As I mentioned in the first post, "you decide." The consensus is "luck" which is probably where I fall as well, but still...you gotta admit...it's kind of weird.

And is getting an item to +5 really that big a deal? If I knew that was some kind of great accomplishment that warranted more than just a "woot" in guild chat (at most) I would have been posting them on SRF for ages. :roll:

And really you "hate" me? "hate"? Sure there's some hyperbole there but isn't that a bit much? "Hate" because I didn't post a screenshot? So I post a SS of three items that are all +5, then you say "well, how do we know he didn't just buy them that way?" So I post the window that shows the successes up to +4, a few failures and then success to +5 and you say "how do we know he's not lying and used lucky on the last one?" So I need a movie, as X20A pointed out, and I'm damned if I'm gonna make movies of my alchemy. You mistake me for a non-lazy person. Are the other members of SRF really screaming for alchemy movies because I have a few stacks of material I'll be breaking down and we can all watch that for an hour.

So you really, honestly think I'm lying about this whole experience? The funny thing is, you're not even questioning the highly improbable story about me failing thirteen times with lucky and not failing three times without. You're actually questioning whether I can +5 three items. If I'm going to make up a story, I hope it will be a bit more compelling than the failure rate of lucky powder on SRO. And if you've spent any time doing alchemy, you know that +5 isn't really that big a deal.
