Alchemy, why is it hard...

__MagnuS__ · **Joined:** Nov 2006 **Posts:** 767 **Location:**

Why is alchemy hard as hell for some, but easy for others? I had 5 astral/immo and 4 lucky on my bow, and i failed to go to +6. It hasn't gotten above +5 ever. And it is not only that piece of equipment either, I have alot of weapons that wont go to anything above+5. I have even used different characters to try this out. Am I doomed to never have a 72+7 weapon, lol, i've had 52 sos +7 before, but that went right to +7 on 7 elixers. Why is alchemy against me?

that is the whole point of alchemy: to be hard.
would kill the economy if everyone would be making +9 items each day.

Its hard because JM want you to buy more Astral and spend gold.
And no Alchemy is NOT random, the higher the + is, the lower the chance to add the next +.

i having a chain here... well here it goes:

Unlucky Addicted Player:
someone(not pointing anyone here) has failed to + its weapon or failed to +9 their equips. -----> buys Immortals and/or Astrals -----> Not enough money in game -----> goes on a Trade Run 5* -----> Failed -----> got pissed off, then bought Gold -----> able to get tons of money for elixirs -----> +1, +2, +0, :banghead:

its a minor setback... again! +1, +2, +3, +4, +5 I'M ON THE ROLE!!! adds Lucky Stones +5 -> +0 :banghead:

-----> buys 30 Elixirs and some Lucky Stones from stalls -----> +1, +2, +3, +0 :banghead:

++++++++ and the cycle continues

Practical Player:
Fails to + its weapon -----> says: "well... think I'm unlucky today, i'd better stop before i spend all my money for it, or maybe tommorow i will have better luck." -----> grind the grief overtime -----> tests its luck next day. +1, +2, +3.... STOP! -----> sells weapon for gold in higher price -----> SOLD! -----> gathers all money to buy +5 good wep. = Practical Player -> Result: Contented

Lucky Bastard (First timer):
Gathers all the necessary items -----> inhales deeply, rapid heart beat, Large sweat, prays for a while (LOL!!!!!!) -----> +1 to +7 easily -----> Shouting, Jumping around like hell, Begins to show off to ppl how luck he is

Lucky Bastard (expert):
Gathers all the necessary items -----> No Fear -----> +1 to +7 NP ----->O_o
