sigh.. 450s down the drain now..

[aegrimonia]

hehe.. now i'm BOUND AND DETERMINED to get my hammer to +6..

I've wasted SOOO Much money on Blessed/Lucky Lix/Elrue and Hammers.. it's not even funny.. i estimate now it's around 450s.

and I still have only gotten two of them to +5.

it's frustrating.. and you want to punch something.. but i'll do a cartweel nekkid when i finally do it.

Of course by that damn time i'll probably be level 40, and will start with a new one..

sigh.

[Nerria]

Lol, you might as well start working on the 40 hammers now. xD

450s... ouch >.<

[Hydr0]

well it's all about luck, i guess ur unlucky. sux 2be u:)

jk.. if u see ur not lucky just stop encmahnet!

[aegrimonia]

bah! i can't stop! i'm not a quitter :)

i may be a failure.. but i'm no quitter..

what's funny though.. i broke a hammer the other day.. and it said "you have just earned the title LUCKY enchanter"..

i'd of thought it would be EXTREMELY UN-LUCKY ehchanter.

[Ccookie]

If you can get a lvl 60 Mace to +5 I'll love you forever lol sadface :(. Anytime I think about trying I slap myself and forget about it.

[Gravvi]

i got a lvl 20 hammer to +8 before but when u get something to that u get greedy and try again and i tried again and it broke. I spent around 354 silver on lvl 20 hammers.

[maxavier]

I feel very sad for you because i lost only about 260s and you lost 450s ><

[redassassin]

i got a lvl 20 hammer to +8 before but when u get something to that u get greedy and try again and i tried again and it broke. I spent around 354 silver on lvl 20 hammers.

That happend to me too, I had a high level sword and tried blessed lix on it and degraded it, and tried again and made things worse..but I will not go to the extent of wasting 354 silver on this crappy idea?

are you a born gambler by any chance?:cool:

[Daigotsu]

At least you guys get your items to the +5's and +6's. I'm practically a beggar, only making do with what I get from drops. I get my cleric to 20 and start working on his same-level shield. I finally get it to +4 after much planning, which I think is a good place to stop for awhile, and then I try to equip it...

(wait for it...)

... and then I noticed that I bought the fighter shield. :(

Good thing I plan to have a fighter later, oh well...

[Arzil]

Thats why I just pay for mine ><

[KireiYosei]

Lol, my friend is the same way. I support his addiction D:

You poor,poor,sad little man

[Desirai]

I love enhancing ^o^

[krazykris_2000]

Hey aegr, you should take Arzils advice and just buy you one hun.... it costs a lot less money. :(

[Eirikur]

Thats why I just pay for mine ><

Dearie, I don't think you realize how smart you are..

The real plan is to sell enhancing stuffs to the kiddies who dare enhance and then we can buy the glowy weapon with the money we get from selling to them xD

[Enzio]

Enhance system sucks balls! I got sweet king marlone 2 hand sword and i'm scared ****less to even try to +1 it. I think up to +3 should be safe from breaking.

[aegrimonia]

In all the time i've been in Eldrine, i've NEVER seen a +5 or +6 (edit - LEVEL 30) hammer for sale..

or i'd of bought it a LONG time ago.

You act like there are 20 of them to choose from...

I do a lap around town every time i'm there.

[Gravvi]

Man I have had a +7 hammer for sale for like 3 weeks. Noone bought it so i got it to +8 tried to sell it nothing, so i tried for +9 and it went to +7 then +6 then +5 then +6 then +7 then +8 then broke. I can't even get anything to +2 anymore. Its annoying. I think weapons shouldn't break, instead of it breaking it should go back to 0. Not all people will have +9 weapons if this happened. Because eventually they will become broke from buying lix and such. And people would then actually try and enhance

[Patchouli]

See Advent :p


In all the time i've been in Eldrine, i've NEVER seen a +5 or +6 hammer for sale..

You could just wait until lvl 40, also the KQ prize box for the lvl 33-45 KQ gives out +3 to +6 lvl 40 weapons.

Seriously? Some idiot was selling the one I bought for 6 silver >> I bought it when my cleric was a level 10, and had it sit in my inventory for, like ever until I could use it.

[Ceruleagos]

This is probably why I just wait to see something on the market I like and then buy it. I'm sure with that 450s you could have bought the weapon you wanted easily.. :( But then again, I am incredibly patient and very thrifty with my money.

[maxavier]

I got only like a +8 Chain Shield/+8 Buckler. Didnt have +8-9 Broadswords.

I want to buy one. xD

[krazykris_2000]

When I am in Elderine, I see a shout for someone selling one at least once a day. Next time I see it, I'll buy it for you, if I think its worth it.

[Tamlinari]

I absolutely love you enhancers!
You buy up my stones as fast as I can make them.
Please don't ever give up hope on enhancing.
Just keep passing you silver on the me and eventually you will get it right.
As for me, I won't spend even one copper on that stupid game.
But you shouldn't follow my example because I am really thrifty.
Just think, once you get that +9 weapon and armor it will all be worth it.
By the way, how many +8 or +9 items have you actually seen in the game?
Think real hard.
1 or 2, maybe?
LOL

[Isila]

Wow, I wanna know how you all have so much silver to spend like that. I'm happy with the 25silver I have now, and I don't upgrade any of my things at this level because I know if I break something I'll be broke.

[Odin_Chaos]

wow how does someone even get 450s? i got my weapon from +4 to +6 in 1 continous try.

[Enzio]

I can't believe some of you have made +7 and +8 and have broken them. I find that to be seriously CRAZY, hell all I want is +6. I really think there should be some changes to the enhance system, I doubt the gm will do anything about it though. I'm willing to bet we will see some dumb item in the item mall that gives you 100% chance to upgrade or something like that. It will break the game and I will quit.



Change the enhance system!! there is no reason for it to be this jacked up unless they do plan on really adding some unfair item that gets you + without fail.

[Nephthys]

LMAO!

....I did the same thing

[Katzy]

I learn very early on NOT to enhance at all. I broke my first 5 bows in a row, never getting even one of them over +2, earning the unlucky enhancer title. I think some ppl are just luckier than others. I am not one of them. So I save my pennies to buy or get from KQ any enhanced items. My poor cleric is lvl 28 and still running around with a lvl 8 shield, unenhanced. I would buy one, but by now, she's so close to the lvl 30 shield I am just waiting for that. There are not many shields for sale, for either the fighter or cleric. Anyway, I do appreciate all the ppl who do buy my stones, glad someone can use them and I hope your luck is always better than mine.

[MyYing]

Atleast you lost 450s over a period of time...try losing that in less than 5mintues. Its not fun and I speak for myself and friends aswell lol

A little tip for you ^_^

You can buy your lvl 20 shield and once you reach lvl 30 you can easily resell that shield to another player for just a little under the npc price and make your money back.

[Nerria]

No, they wouldn't do that. It will be MOST likely 3 different items: One that prevents breaking, one prevents downgrading, and one increases chance to succeed. It will never be 100%... it wouldn't be a smart marketing plan at all.

Oh, and that will not break the game. I fail to see how it would... tons of other F2P MMOs use this and they are fine. If you can afford to spend hundreds of platinum or some real life cash getting a hold of these items from other players/ CS, then you deserve a +9 weapon.

Assuming you get there without failing over and over, ending up stuck at +8. ;)

[Syrlith]

This is why its good to be a support cleric-
Your weapon can be a severed nord leg and you'd still be useful!

My point is, people with tons of money shouldn't be able to own everyone else and that is what happens if you have an item mall that sells unfair items. I've seen countless guilds quit games like this for that very reason. Sure not everyone will have a problem with it but I believe a lot of the better players will.

Hell the main reason these types of games even go F2P in the first place is because people who can't play normaly will spend tons of cash to have the best chars in the game. The avg person who buys items from an item mall will spend way more money on items than what they would have spent if the game was p2p. 10 dollars a month for p2p turns into 10-20 dollars a week f2p and these companies know it, thats why they do it. Anyways I'm going off topic now and just ranting so yea. :D

[johnkx]

if you can't reach +4. give up already.. lol.. well that's what i did.. cuz i know i have badluck on upgrading stuffs..

[Nerria]

Yes, but you don't *need* these items to play through the game at all. You can get by fine with clean weapons... you don't even need greens. These are just niceties of the game and for those fortunate enough to own them, well, they get it a little better off.

I guess I just see it differently, but if you play and expect to have the best of the best, you won't go far without disappointing yourself and wanting to quit. I know, because this is how I am in a lot of games. I hate it - but a lot of people expect this and just won't ever hold a perfect stat'd green, +9'd up

[Cyrogen]

Personally, I don't enhance, the only time I do is if I have stones from KQ & a 2nd item.

I do plan to enhance when I hit max level. I will have 2 items, I'll enhance 1, then the other, increasing each +1 at a time before switching to the next. If one breaks, I keep that one, then work on another later, so I always still have my highest level item.

*hopefully that makes sense*

[aegrimonia]

yeah.. i had a damn severed nord leg.. and it broke when i tried to upgrade it..

damn :(

:)

[voidia]

all of you who have gotten over +5 weapons from enhancing... i hate you. I lost 5 lvl 8 shields just trying to get it to +3(highest i got was +1...) before having to settle with just using a non-enhanced one because i couldn't afford to buy another one. -_-

[Soul.of.Trance]

And that sir~ is the reason why I don't even bother.

awww boohoo... try losing staves that are 20s a pop. then you can cry.

[Balder]

Wow, is that Trance dude serious, crying over a lvl 8 shield? LoL.

Man I can still remember my +7 sword like it was just yesterday. R.I.P. T'T
