About The Stones :
Elrue/Lix/Xir are items that are used to upgrade weapons and armors.
Most usable items have tiers. Tiers are item classes, and you must use a Elrue/Lix/Xir that is the same tier as the item you want to refine.
Elrue upgrades from +1 to ~+3, Lix from +4 to +6 and Xir from +7 to +9.
Aside from different tiers of items, the Elrue/Lix/Xir all have different types, which are Normal(green), Blessed(purple) and Lucky(blue). The different types affect different things. Lucky raises by +2 instead of +1 by a small chance, blessed decreases chance of breaking. Normal does what it's supposed to.
[edit]How To Get Elrue/Lix/Xir
Stone Alchemy(Production Skill) :
Monster Drops
Mining
Quest Rewards
Kingdom Quest Rewards
Treasure Chest
If you choose to make your own stones with the Stone Production Skill, first press "K" and go to the Alchemy tab. Learn Stone Production (-NOTE- You can only learn 2/5). Then go to the skill lady in any town. Learn the Stone Recipe Skills. Right click the item and learn the recipe. Now press "K" and drag the stone production skill to the skill try and/or right click it.

Now you'll open up a window with Elrue in the list. If you see Tier 1 all in green you did it correctly so far. Now click the Elrue (The first one that appears) start making them if you can. If you cannot go kill some monsters that drop the item(s) that you need. Now you have some Elrue stones.

[edit]How To Enhance
To enhance something you must go to a Weapons Smith. After you find one, talk to him and click the "Refine Weapon" button. Another window will open with many boxes inside it. The center box is for the weapon or armor you wish to refine. The other 8 boxes around it are for the Elrue/Lix/Xir to go in.

The process of enhancing is simple, and requires nothing more then luck. You pick one of the 8 boxes for the Elrue/Lix/Xir and drag and drop it in. If you have more than one Elrue, you may need to separate one into a separate pile of its own. To do so, hold the "Left Shift" key and click on the Elrue, and set "Item Allocation" to "1", press OK, and click in an empty inventory square. Alternatively, you can simply allow the default number generated in the "Item Allocation" box, press OK, and click in an empty inventory space and achieve the same results.

After you have one Elrue ready, click the button in the lower left area of the refine window to start the process. The enhancing is successful if the spinning star lands on the box opposite of where you placed your Elrue/Lix/Xir. If it was successful then it will gain +1. If it doesn't land there, then 1 of 3 things will happen. Your item will remain the same, your item will decrease a level of enhancement, or your item may be destroyed. This is the basics of enhancing. If you click the button and your item disappears, it has been destroyed. Some say the more you break the more luck you have on the enhancing skills. [Unconfirmed]

Suggestion: At levels under 20, you should only enchant your weapons and armor to +3 (3 Elrues) as you will advance to level 20 quickly. Also, you should only risk enchanting your equipment if you have enough money for a replacement piece. If you don't, you may find yourself without anything to wear! If you do break your item and have no more money to buy a new one, use your old weapon. You should not sell your old weapons until you are sure you don't need it.

The lower 3 boxes (They Are Red,Blue,Gold) Are used to place red eye or blue mile (red eye decreases chance of fail rate by 50%, perfect red eye decreases rate by 100%, blue mile are the same but only decrease downgrade rate). Red Eye and Blue Mile are purchased in fiesta store. (Before you go crazy about red eye, Failure means Breakage. It can still can fail or downgrade) The gold spot is unknown at the time.

As a mage, I have noticed that I only ever get 1 defense point for adding a + to an armour, is this always the case? or only for lower lvl gear? (currently lvl 33) It seems like 1 defense point is quite little in the scale of things, and I'm still trying to work out if enhancing at the moment is worth the breakage of gear.

Your thoughts?

Your thoughts?

You should focus on enhancing your staff as your main priority than armor seeing as the staff will give you bonus spell damage and the 1 point does kind of come in handy if you don't try to tank the mobs but incase you are hit it minigates -some- damage.

the higher the +, the bigger the difference.
at to go from +0 to +1, my lvl 50 TK bow gave like +12dmg, but at +8 to +9, it gave like +150 more (for a total of +344)

same goes with shields (and i presume armor)

[TheActor]

Cool, yeah I thought i noticed a bit of that before, guess I'll just leave the gear without too much worry for + atm, and at 40/50 i'll start trying for +5 or so. Thanks for the replies.

[ZackTheMad]

somehow i only ever risked adding to +3 for armor before.. i got my Unlucky Enhancer & Item Spoiler titles before i succeeded for the first time, but i noticed armor only increases +1 to Def per level increased

[Benjaminqwas]

Ugh... don't get me started with this... After this new patch they installed enhancing is near impossible unless you fork out MAJOR SparkCash...

[Ailithir]

I the present scheme of things I find that it is not worth the risk to enhance anything. The higher you go in level the less benefit you get compared to the risk involved.

:rolleyes: Suggestions:

1- Significantly lower or eliminate the breakage rate -or- significantly lower the price of the perfect red stones in the Fiesta store.

2- Significantly lower or eliminate the reduce bonus rate -or- significantly lower the price of the perfect blue stones in the Fiesta store.

3- Raise the bonus as the level increases. +1 to +9 is ok for character levels under 20, but after that, a +1 bonus is nothing and +9 is the equivalent of +1 on the low level weapons. Instead of +1 etc. it should be a percent increase so the bonus remains useful no matter how high you go in level.

4- There should be a way to transfer your licenses to another weapon. You can't take the risk of destruction on a weapon with licenses because you have to start all over again with new licenses and they are 0%. :eek:

[universalis]

the higher enhancement levels do have a greatr effect for example my magic shirt +9 gives me +24 defence and its base defence is 13

[Benjaminqwas]

Quick Off Topic Noob Leveling Tip ^^: make a +5(or more) of any lv 1 noob weapon/shield, put in your bank account, make the noob account, run to the bank, grab and equip the stuff, and lastly go massively kill noob monsters easy. Did this with my cleric, got him to lv 5 in like a literal 7 minutes...

[I.Aiyoku]

Question:

1. What is the difference in a Lucky Elrule/Lix/Xir and a Blessed Elrule/Lix/Xir.

2. If you got an enhancement title (i.e. Rookie Enhancer), does it increase your chance for success when enhancing later on?

[deadskin]

Question:
1. What is the difference in a Lucky Elrule/Lix/Xir and a Blessed Elrule/Lix/Xir.
Pay attention, missy. The answer is in the first post. Posts like these make you seem incompetent and slothful.

[KnightOfTruth]

I appreciated the guide but just had to reiterate the question posted above related to "blessed" and "lucky" stones.

I have found different answers all across the forums. I've had some say that blessed decreases chance of breaking item, decreases chance of degrading item, does both, increases chance of success. I've also had people say that lucky allows chance for item to be +2 (as opposed to +1), decreases chance of degrading item level, increases chances of success.

I've received +2 on an item using blessed NOT lucky, I've broken items using every stone, I've also had items decrease in level using both stones (at least if I remember right on that point), so its definitely not 100% whatever the effect is supposed to be.

So as you can see, there seems to be a plethora of opinions and "facts" on this very question, would anyone care to try and provide a definitive answer for the little lady (see above post) and others like me?

I suppose it can be reconciled by saying, "Lucky" increases the CHANCE of it being +2, that would fit my experiences. But it is still possible to get +2 without a lucky stone if I remember right.

[I.Aiyoku]

Pay attention, missy. The answer is in the first post. Posts like these make you seem incompetent and slothful.

Say that to my face. I'll show you incompetent and slothful! Frickin' assholes. All I asked were simple questions and what the hell gave you the right to insult me?


AND there was no specific answer to my question in the first post otherwise I wouldn't have asked it. All it said that a Blessed Elrule/Lix/Xir is Blessed and the same with a Lucky Elrule/Lix/Xir. No disrespectin' the creator of this forum, but they did not explain the differences.

And I would also like to thank you, LordofTruth for trying to explain these things to me.

A question: is the enhancement success really only about luck, or are there some other factors in play under the hood? Like enahncement "experience" (measured by the title perhaps) or INT level or whatever...
So far it seems it's not a prob to enhance stuff up to +2, +3 bears some risk. Got completely enraged when I broke an item using a Blessed Lix to enhance it... I thought that breakage is impossible with a blessed stone.
Can you somehow make blessed stones, or not?

Blessed stones only give a small chance of not breaking the item. If you want the good stuff then you have to shell out real money for cash shop enhancing items.

The Blessed and Lucky stones are not player makable. You can only recieve them from quest,random chest spawns, and KQ chest. ( there may be a few other places.)

Not exactly sure what you are asking for. Alchemy covers all production skills.

Are you wanting to know how to choose your two production skills?

[Navon]

Sad. But thanks for the reply. Anyway, what about the enhancement chances, are they the same from the craddle to the grave, or do they change according to something, like enhancer's experience, level, relative level of the enhancer to item's level, class, or attribute? For instance I think it's not hard to enhance something up to +2. +1 seems to be almost automatic. +3 becomes tedious, and you have a high chance of breaking at least one thing before you succeed. Also when on my mage alt, I was able to enhance a mage staff much easier than a piece of (mages) clothing, and that in turn much easier than a clerical shield (all the lowbie quality, save for the second "tier" mage's staff).

Another question: on an archer alt I received a +5 bow as a reward for a completed kq, I think it was the King Slime. At least twice. Can you have enhanced stuff from other KQ, too, and when you get a weapon and when only blessed stone? On fighter alt I was tanking bosses in Mara pirates all the way long and I got only one blessed Lix.

[deadskin]

No, the enhancement chances are the same because the refinement window does not change.
There is a myth that the more you break albeit the more success you will have. However, that is still a myth and not yet proven by a reliable source.

And yes, you are able to enhance any weapon or piece of armour, even if you obtained it from a KQ.

Well put. For more in depth ranting by me and information related to enhancing and the "chances" of "success", see this other active thread that I and others have been posting in!

P.s. You're very welcome I.Aiyoku, always glad to come to the defense of a lady (assuming you are not just a guy pretending like many fiesta players). Actually, I had a much more "Guardian Protector" type response typed out, but edited after I found out that they actually DID say what blessed/lucky was for on the 1st page... I had to look twice myself ... It's in the "About the Stones" section, right above "Stone Alchemy (Production Skill)", but you have to look hard :)

[Leens]

I have a question about enhancement. Ok if I use perfect red eye, that means I can't fail to critical by 100% right? So that means I can never break or fail?

Also if I use perfect red eye, does it only take effect if the spinning box lands in the same row? Or does it not matter and it will just prevent failing?

[kyuubidemons]

how do you make it glow

[Theoris]

+3 = Blue glow
+4 = Pink glow
+5 = Blue orb
+6 = Pink orb
+7 = red elven script and a pink orb
+8 = white cresents, blue flame and a pink orb
+9 = golden supernova

This only applies to Axes, Maces, Hammers, Wands and Staffs.
Swords, 2 handed swords and Bows have differant appearances above +4

Perfect Red Eye guarantees no break
Perfect Blue Eye guarantees no down grade
Using both eyes you will either succeed and go up, or fail and stay the same.
You won't lose enhancement and the weapon won't break.

[kyuubidemons]

Thank you very much i appreciate it alot

[Drew697]

For you Fighters!

Steel Axe:

3+ Blue Glow
4+ Purple Glow

What is red eye n blue eye??? where u get them?

[KnightOfTruth]

Perfect Red Eyes and Blue Miles are available by purchasing SparkCash (with real $$) and using the SparkCash at the FiestaStore.

[Trolking47]

Personally I think we all should support the game. Folks say, "Its free, why should I have to pay? Well it ain't free for everyone. It costs money to run and to upkeep.
I have played both pay to play and The so called (Free) games and found out there ain't nothing free in this world. I just wish they would make perminant items in the cash shop. After all, if I pay real money For it I should be able to keep it or sell it, in game. I think.

[brokenvector]

real cash? then I pass :) I'll keep refine using the old method, TRIAL n ERROR :D

now the red eye items only prevent breaking the item enhancing stil has a chance to fail

Hello I've read this thread and I've read it thouroughly, being new to the came I am just a little confused. I've chosen stone creation as one of my 2 production skills and I've made plenty of elrues, I've enchanted my light bow (Level 10 Archer) and I've made 3 successful attempts and my bow is only showing a +1 on it....Have I missed something or am I doing something wrong? I do not mean to be a burden and I'm not trying to be a noob, I try to avoid asking questions to keep from getting yelled at by other players. Any answers or help would greatly be apprieciated.

[enumasam]

I'm just wondering what increases crit %

[MissusDolly]

I'm just wondering what increases crit %
For a character? Adding free points to to Spr and wearing items that add % to crit rate.
For weapons? By completing licenses on the weapon depending on the license itself once completed it adds a certain amount of percent to critical rate %.
-Dolly

[Shadaki]

Has anyone had the "HAHA you stuff broke" purple bubbles show up while using a Perfect Red Eye? I don't mean have you item broken. I just mean see that it actually "prevented" your item from breaking. I get the feeling that the Redz don't "prevent" breakage but they may "guarantee" your item won't break. If the Redz guarantee there will be no breakage, what does that do to the calculation for success? Where are the % allocated, that would have normally been designated as a breakage?

If you don't get a success on an attempt, there is a chance your item will downgrade a point. this may be what happened to you. If you had 3 successes in a row, I'm stumped by your +1, and in awe of your luck. =)

[sapoctba]

Hi.

I want to know if in this game exists a safe limit to Enhancement, for example you can pump your gear until +3 without risks, but after that you can lose the item.

I look in many guides, but in all of them said you can lose your item if the refine isn´t a sucess, so if I try refining with a +0 weapon I can lose it if I´m unlucky ?

Thanks for your help.

[Knifey]

this is a really good point, i am kind of annoyed at how much a +9 armour takes to make and what little it actually gives you. i think this is a real bug and they should look into it.

the 1 point does kind of come in handy if you don't try to tank the mobs but incase you are hit it minigates -some- damage.

i think you mean mitigates?

so if I try refining with a +0 weapon I can lose it if I´m unlucky ?

yes indeed, there is a special title if you break so many weapons in a row. you are never safe at any level, you can break a brand new weapon of any type.

[kchomer]

its is called the golden nine and it is used to increase success rate, they have them on the korean version, but outspark is to greedy to put thm up for sale.

[kchomer]

its gold nine rather, i saw i on the korean site.

[anime_cat_chick]

has anyone actually downgraded a weapon successfully without breakage?

[Shurelia]

has anyone actually downgraded a weapon successfully without breakage?

Yes. I have. I was quite confused when it happened... I think I was lucky enough for it not to break, but unlucky that it's didn't work...

i want to know if someone knows how to get the lucky or blessed elrues, lixs or xirs recipe
If there his someone
i m a warrior level 28 and my game name is ATOMZ add me

[moonshadow46]

Guys... I've been enhancing gears for a while. I recently conclude this:

If the game is running smoothly while you are enhancing your suits, weapons, anything that's "enhance-able", you will have a higher rate of failure. But if you choose to do the gear upgrade job at the time that you find it's laggy, you may have a higher rate of success.

Take me for example, I just made a +5 Steel Axe (bought from NPCs, Lv 20 wep), 2 +5 Chain Armors (Also bought from NPCs, Lv20 armors) while it's a bit laggy. but if i do this job while it runs smooth, i probably broke all of them already from my past enhancing experience.

But after all, this is my case, so feel free to try it out

[Blitzscythe]

ok, i've heard from ppl talking about patterns for enhancing, i'm pretty sure there is one, but not totaly sure. is there an pattern for enhancing? if there is pm me the equation

[TestSubject]

A pattern? As in across from the stone is a success, one to either side of that fails, one past that to either side downgrades, and one on either side of the stone breaks?

[Blitzscythe]

no, as in a pattern that tells u where to put the stone and always get it right

[Saradomy]

Actually.... Enhancing has no trick or pattern. Enhancing is totally random you are lucky or not we don't know unless you have red mile and blue mile. :D

[Blitzscythe]

it is a computer program, the rules of enhancing it is all in a equation, i'm pretty sure that's how it is

[fangs131]

it all might be random but i found that if you place the stone in the next spot from were the last rotation seems to work prety good till + 4 then it seems to jump to the other side and 2 spases and the gold eye gives a +15% secses rate i got 10 of them from the lepercon chase and a cute cat house and some gold lumps and ore :D 1855

[bitoy004]

H mm well I don't know if it a bug in enhancement, but i did have perfect blue and red mile. I was so damn confident that my success rate is high. Waaa:( The impossible just became possible...............I broke my shield even w/ both red, blue, +blessed...... To make the long story short i ended up breaking 7 lvl 40 green shield, and used up all useless red and blue stones....burned 3 gold....and could only get up to +8...i had leftover xir but the risk was too great.....Talk about being unlucky....... So um it up, have it does not guaranty 100% of success or breakage.

[Blitzscythe]

ok, has anyone enhanced an item to lvl 9 using only game items not sparkcash items?

[Kuydo]

ok, has anyone enhanced an item to lvl 9 using only game items not sparkcash items?

Yes, that has been done. But it is very, very hard to attempt and costly. I have seen a few low level items done without cs stones, but you do not see as many high level items that are enhanced without cs.

[Hobo147]

i will tell you all how to get your armor/wep to +1 with a 100% success rate (as long as you have not tried to enchance this item before...) OK, place the elrue/lix/xir in the slot 1 LEFT of the bottom. There very simple. I can make anything +3 with very little cost. Another hint for +2 is to put the stone in the slot right of the top. Try this again if it fails the first time. If it fails teh second, dont bother the third cause it will break. If anyone would like me to make something of theirs +3 just provide stones and pay me
25s and i will be glad to do it. (ooops i gave away my tricks.. oh well).
Anyways, I hope i helped you guys and add to my rep :P.

I enchanted my lvl 20 bow until [7] do i have the guts to enchant it even more?
is it really that better then ? ps i used just 1 bow XD wohow i rule :D

[Blitzscythe]

aye, lucky u, if u enhacne it to lvl 9 u'll probably double it's value, but do u have the guts??

[Hobo147]

of course he doesnt LOL i wouldnt either youve already made a profit and y risk your house

[undeadmith]

lol i don't dare and it looks so cool :D
a friend equiped it for me :D :p and it looks great and i am scared that it will break :p it already downgraded like 5 times :p and i did the last enchant with the pink xir :p

[Talm_Magi]

I just enhanced to +6 mace with my cleric. I also have made up to +6 items for my mage. i've noticed that up to +4 (or possibly after so many enhancements) the possition of the stone starts in the box right of bottom center and shifts left every enhancement. after that it appears to shift 2 to the left. However, I have not enhanced past 6 (since i make all my own material and don't have the skill yet) i have broken 2 green staffs/wands and 3-4 non-green staffs/wands. I think that the shifts are based on how many times you have enhanced because my mage has enhanced a lot and seems to have a new patern i'm trying to figure out.

Anyone else seem to notice this?

[saskue5660]

iv tried using the skill material composition and it wont work am i doing it right or do i need more stuff to use it:):):):)

[sh1kamaru]

Can u guys tell me if i can break my sword trying to enchant for +1? or can only break from +3 up? ty

[rtan9838]

Can u guys tell me if i can break my sword trying to enchant for +1? or can only break from +3 up? ty

this question has been answered already.

you can break and lose your item going from 0 - 1. i have lost numerous items upgrading to +1 from 0

[Stepper]

Is the success rate for upgrading to +7-9 really low? I just tried upgrading my +6 hammer and it failed three times in a row, which has never happened to me before. Luckily I used Red Eye and Blue Mile so it didn't break or get downgraded, but I can't help but feel like it was all a big waste... I don't think I want to try that again any time soon. XP

[Cyclonezz]

lvl 32 enhancement God weeeee

[nar12]

i hade a +9 before and it rocked.

[nar12]

lvl 38 i am

[hinohanawa]

Can u help me??
What is skill level?

[MzRobinHood]

i was just wonderin' has there been anyone who had their wep +9 without using eyes because hardly anyone does and my hopes get down because i cant buy eyes from sparkcash but on the other hand if you cant +9 yur wep with xir then wats the point of xir so if u enhanced yur wep +9 without eyes plz quote or reply me plz xD thx!

[shadowsvenom]

well, enhancing is good and bad if ur lucky/unlucky. if u have a shield thats at +5 ish start using blessed stones. b smart about it.

i had a +9 shield. made it +13. i went for it again and lost it. but thx for blossoms i made another +13 shield out of puuuuureeeeee luck! it has angel wings on it. xp

+3 glows blue
+7 little ball glows on it
+9 criss-cross red lines circle it
+13 angel wings on it

just let yaul know wat +3 - +13 shield look like xp

[soulslave]

How do people get to add to weapons and armor.Str,dex.end,int,and spr.1 point and so on.What skill is this.It seams as important as +1,+2 and so on.Please explain how.

Please don't Necro.

And you cannot add stats to an item. If you see items with stats on them then that means that they were dropped that way. Monsters are known to randomly drop these, called greens, and they have randomly generated stats.

The only thing you can add to a weapon/armour, is the amount of damage it does, and crit rate with certain licenses.

Isn't the angel wings +8?

[booyah8876]

It is +8.

Also:

Blessed Stones: Have less % chance of breaking upon failure.
Lucky Stones: Have a % chance of upgrading +2 instead of +1.

Those are the only facts about them.

[windmind]

I have read many many post on enchanting, learned alot and thank you.
BUT I still seem lost...I am such a noob
I wated until lev 20 to start my hand at enchanting, now how can I tell what lev my enchanting is and is it because my lev is to low that I can't even attempt on my 20lev hammer or my 20 lev armor I mean I can't even put the item in the circle??
Please Help and thank you

[drigr_x]

I don't think there is a such thing as an "Enhancement Level". And if you really like your hammer/amor I wouldn't suggest trying to enhance them unless you can afford to replace. I made the mistake of "pre-enhancing" (enhancing before I could weild) me level 20 green wand. But I turned right around and [+7]'d a level 20 green staff.

You would have to ask a GM on your problem with ehancing though since I was able to enhance without being able to weild.

Or, have you ever actually done an enhancement? Because I think you may be trying to put the weapon/armor in the wrong spot in the circle.

It's not very good but I think it gets the point across. Thats the enhancement window. The item you are enhancing goes into the middle square in the circle. The circle is for your enhancement stone (Elrue, Lix, Xir), and the bottom 3 squares are for SC items (blue mile, red eyes, and gold "something" {which I believe is in the korean version only})

Please +rep me if this helped anyone out.

[windmind]

Thanks, what i was doing wrong was putting my weapon in middle circle while still having it equipped was very aggravating but now all is good and i am an Enchanter God with my +9 green Hammer:0) Also made my archer a +8 crossbow that looks real cool it looks like the NBC logo you know spread open multi colored pea****

[wenda1987]

just an info: enhancing green weapons (dropped from monsters) is harder then enhancing a weapon you buy from npc. Tried several times to enhance green weapons and they all finish braking apart even at level +2.
I'm saying it, because its my personal experience, maybe its not true, but I'm looking forward for some feedback about this remark.

[icevfire]

i dont think thats entirely right since my highest title is triumphant enhancer (havent used any oh them fiesta purchase stones) and ive got my green axe upto +5 atm still getting some lix and xir tho, im not to botherd if it breaks since im 1 lvl from not being able to use it.

[Päivästalker]

I don't like enchancing because the stones pay so much D: I remember when tier 1 xir used to pay 500c. Now they pay 5s :(

[goranka]

Pls experienced players: I know what materials I need to enhance because this thread was very good! :)

But... what would you say I need to buy, with spark-cash, amount wise, to enhance a green +4 bow to +9?? How many reds, how many blues?

How many lix's and xir's do I need would you say?

[dark94]

it depends if you are lucky or not :)

[sps60]

Pay attention, missy. The answer is in the first post. Posts like these make you seem incompetent and slothful.

wow its a good thing you retired....you don't seem to play well with others....ps don't ever have kids or pets....sounds like you hate repeating yourself

[maadbrotis]

I just enchanted a +9 on my mage so its not impossible.

[maadbrotis]

nice guide btw

[justlegendary]

nice guide btw

but not nice enough.. if seems every damn enchantment guide on the internet is lacking something:

- enchantment (success/fail %) rate chart

it just so happens that this game has:

- item level 1
- item level 2
- item level 3
- item level 4
- item level 5

yes its easy to enchant item level 1 but what about item level 3 and 4? would the success/fail % rate be the same? or no?

if i decided to +0 to +1 my lvl 70 blue axe would it break? and if i decided to +4 to +5 my lvl 20 green bow would it break?

Items For Enhancing
Items Needed For a Weapon/Armor Enhancing
A Weapon/Armor
Elrue/Lix/Xir
About The Stones :
Elrue/Lix/Xir are items that are used to upgrade weapons and armors.
Most usable items have tiers. Tiers are item classes, and you must use a Elrue/Lix/Xir that is the same tier as the item you want to refine.
Elrue upgrades from +1 to ~+3, Lix from +4 to +6 and Xir from +7 to +9.
Aside from different tiers of items, the Elrue/Lix/Xir all have different types, which are Normal(green), Blessed(purple) and Lucky(blue). The different types affect different things. Lucky raises by +2 instead of +1 by a small chance, blessed decreases chance of breaking. Normal does what it's supposed to.
[edit]How To Get Elrue/Lix/Xir
Stone Alchemy(Production Skill) :
Monster Drops
Mining
Quest Rewards
Kingdom Quest Rewards
Treasure Chest
If you choose to make your own stones with the Stone Production Skill, first press "K" and go to the Alchemy tab. Learn Stone Production (-NOTE- You can only learn 2/5). Then go to the skill lady in any town. Learn the Stone Recipe Skills. Right click the item and learn the recipe. Now press "K" and drag the stone production skill to the skill try and/or right click it.

Now you'll open up a window with Elrue in the list. If you see Tier 1 all in green you did it correctly so far. Now click the Elrue (The first one that appears) start making them if you can. If you cannot go kill some monsters that drop the item(s) that you need. Now you have some Elrue stones.

[edit]How To Enhance
To enhance something you must go to a Weapons Smith. After you find one, talk to him and click the "Refine Weapon" button. Another window will open with many boxes inside it. The center box is for the weapon or armor you wish to refine. The other 8 boxes around it are for the Elrue/Lix/Xir to go in.

The process of enhancing is simple, and requires nothing more then luck. You pick one of the 8 boxes for the Elrue/Lix/Xir and drag and drop it in. If you have more than one Elrue, you may need to separate one into a separate pile of its own. To do so, hold the "Left Shift" key and click on the Elrue, and set "Item Allocation" to "1", press OK, and click in an empty inventory square. Alternatively, you can simply allow the default number generated in the "Item Allocation" box, press OK, and click in an empty inventory space and achieve the same results.

After you have one Elrue ready, click the button in the lower left area of the refine window to start the process. The enhancing is successful if the spinning star lands on the box opposite of where you placed your Elrue/Lix/Xir. If it was successful then it will gain +1. If it doesn't land there, then 1 of 3 things will happen. Your item will remain the same, your item will decrease a level of enhancement, or your item may be destroyed. This is the basics of enhancing. If you click the button and your item disappears, it has been destroyed. Some say the more you break the more luck you have on the enhancing skills. [Unconfirmed]

Suggestion: At levels under 20, you should only enchant your weapons and armor to +3 (3 Elrues) as you will advance to level 20 quickly. Also, you should only risk enchanting your equipment if you have enough money for a replacement piece. If you don't, you may find yourself without anything to wear! If you do break your item and have no more money to buy a new one, use your old weapon. You should not sell your old weapons until you are sure you don't need it.

The lower 3 boxes (They Are Red,Blue,Gold) Are used to place red eye or blue mile (red eye decreases chance of fail rate by 50%, perfect red eye decreases rate by 100%, blue mile are the same but only decrease downgrade rate). Red Eye and Blue Mile are purchased in fiesta store. (Before you go crazy about red eye, Failure means Breakage. It can still can fail or downgrade) The gold spot is unknown at the time.


Tier One Stones
Tier two, three and four just have a number 2, 3 or 4 at the top left corner and are for level two, level three and level four items

Normal Elrue :The basic Elrue.

Normal Lix :The basic Lix.

Normal Xir :The basic Xir.

Blessed Elrue :A Blessed Elrue.

Blessed Lix : A Blessed Lix.

Blessed Xir : A Blessed Xir.

Lucky Elrue : A Lucky Elrue.

Lucky Lix : A Lucky Lix.

Lucky Xir : A Lucky Xir.

This is a magnificent guide to enhancing! Now I know that I should try and try again if something breaks!

Please don't Necro.

And you cannot add stats to an item. If you see items with stats on them then that means that they were dropped that way. Monsters are known to randomly drop these, called greens, and they have randomly generated stats.

The only thing you can add to a weapon/armour, is the amount of damage it does, and crit rate with certain licenses.

Don't necro?! All due respect, but I hope you do not expect someone to go to all the trouble of creating a brand new one! By the way, you can give your armor/weapon stats. It just can only be defense, damage, magic damage, and/or magic defense. That might not be what you would call "stats" exactly, but it can be done!

[goodasgold]

I am level 30 and have tried to enhance my weapon 5 times, lost 5 to breakage. I dont even get to the Lix stage before it crashes. Didn't have this problem at lower levels. Is there a secret I should know to cut the risk of destruction other than buying the stones from the store, they crash too. Thx

[tigerslyna]

hi.
I have the red, blue and gold stuff from the sparkshop. just spent 26,000 sparkcash on them:) but is it 100% and i really say 100% that my sword wont break on me when i attempt to do it [+9] ??

Dont worry, with the use of perfect red eyes you can be 100% sure your weapon wont break ;)

With the use of perfect blue mile you can be 100% sure your weapon wont be downgraded if you fail an attempt.

With the use of gold nines you have 15% extra posibility to complete one enhacement.

Of course you must also know that having and using this items wont guarantee you will get your weapon/gear to +9, Good Luck while enhacing!! :D

Im sorry, but the only way I know to get weapons/gears to +9 without even a tiny possibility of breaking them is by using perfect red eyes and blue miles.

[tigerslyna]

yes i made it:)
1 2hand Sword +16str, [+9]
1 2hand Axe +12str, +6end, [+7]

i thank this hole guide and every one that have posted info in it. i have wonders allot of things about enchantments in fiesta and now i can stop wondering. i got every answer i wanted and a god +9 sword:) Thnx!

[sakram137]

I have a question: I know that items with higher item levels are harder for me to enhance. Someone told me today that an item is easier to enhance if it is the same class that you are, and also if your level is higher than the item level. Is there anyone with alot of enhancing experience with differant level charaters and items that knows anything about this?

[great_wolf]

huh first time i heard about that, but it would make sense in a way. You can try, it doesnt hurt. i have enhanced lvl35 mage blue pants (i believe it was mage might have been fighter) up to +6 without miles or eyes. hmm this is worth checking out =D

[great_wolf]

but not nice enough.. if seems every damn enchantment guide on the internet is lacking something:

- enchantment (success/fail %) rate chart

it just so happens that this game has:

- item level 1
- item level 2
- item level 3
- item level 4
- item level 5

yes its easy to enchant item level 1 but what about item level 3 and 4? would the success/fail % rate be the same? or no?

if i decided to +0 to +1 my lvl 70 blue axe would it break? and if i decided to +4 to +5 my lvl 20 green bow would it break?

The success rate is diiferent for item level 2, 3, and 4 (not sure if there is a t5 stone righ now =/ )
your axe would almost surely break
your bow has a better chance at surviving but will probably break

[wnr.72]

Damn you outspark...your cash cow sucks!!! I used 1 whole stack of each eye and only upgraded my weapon by 1 point!!! 1 FREAKING POINT!!! Yeah I know it's random, yeah I know that it is do-at-your-own-risk...but I used all the eyes and blessed stones, what a god-damn waste of irl money and in game money!!! You guys suck!!! Period.

[Shera1]

If anyone has been paying attention they would realize that along with the drop rate decrease last [late] Summer the success rate on enhancing items has also been decreased.

IMO, there was a time when OS used a teaser period which also includes the teaser levels. As of late they began offering the packs of all three enhancement items at the Fiesta store. I noticed when I purchased the packs, the failure rate was increased v/s purchasing simply the Reds n Blues.

Think about, players, with an increase in failure rate the 15% a Gold would give you isn't really worth the purchase. But, its up to the player willing/able to put forth/waste money in times like these; I know I don't have that kind of money lying around.

I don't enhance items for anyone else, or simply to sell, but do sell my items once they are no longer of use to me; however not at the exorbitant prices I am seeing now. I have never purchased an item for gold, or much higher than a few hundred silver given the stats on the item as well. With drop rates decreasing, you simply can't scrape up enough gold to be throwing it about in such a manner.

Often I feel as if OS is mirroring the economic crisis in-game as we experience this in our everyday lives; maybe its time to pucker up n save a few bucks for those of us who can't afford such extravagance. It can still work you know.

I played my Lv 50 archer through to Lv 62 without one enhancement. Yes, it was difficult and took much more time to level, but it can be done. :)

[bomb_boom]

i am soo funking fedup with thes sites having it free at start then all the sudin o wate you hafto pay to do stuff in game i just went thro not 1 but 2 t2 budoles yes BUNDOLS and only goto +8 i hate you you greedy lil b!tchs friking 10$ and you still cant get a +9 ene more lower the price or lower the brack rate or this site will get pownd buy a very big viris see haw mucth of that muny you scam out of ppl you will need to yous to fix it OWND

i soo agre i went thro 1gold in luky stons and 2budols packs and berly made it to +8

[tigerslyna]

i like that its hard to make stuff +9. not EVERY single ppl need to have +9 stuff.
If you like the game you don't mind to support is buy paying real money. yes it can be allot of money but if you don't like it YOU DON'Y HAVE TO PAY!
Or you can buy your stuff in game for game money!!!! i sell allot of +9 and i don't mind that i have to pay irl money to make them +9.

to all the GM and admins: LOVE THE SMS PAYING:D its safe and its fast:)

[defcom]

Side Note: Hmm this thread is kinda old, but I'll thrown in some of my opinions too.

I've read through all the posts up until the 11th page and I have to say I agree with everyone's confusions and points about enhancement.

Shera1's point is very similar to mine. I've heard stories of people spending loads of $$$ on just trying to get an item to +9. I know...its horrible, but again its totally up to the player (with their luck) to risk enhancing and it is also supporting the game in which we like to play.

I've gone through my archer from lvl 1-84 without enhancing a single thing or even using an enhanced item. Yeah it did take awhile and the only way I could really be efficient at training was to find the best unenhanced greens/blues. So after getting to lvl 85, I decided "You know what, I'm so close to capping and the mobs are so much harder AND it takes so much longer to lvl, so I'll go and enhance my BK xbow"

Now I spent around $25 worth of SC to buy 3 stacks of reds and 2 blues, tier4. I ended up using all my blues and 2.5 stacks of reds. Do you wanna know how far i got in the enhancement...? Well I'll tell ya anyway :( I got my xbow up to the fifth stage of enhancement.....now thats either really bad luck or just a really low success rate for T4 equipment.

Now my IG hubby found out and decided to lend me a helping hand. He had a few blues and reds leftover from his last enhancement run and decided to help me out. He was only able to get my xbow to the 6th stage and it took him 4 tries just to get that 1 extra enhancement up. So I guess its cool that I'm supporting the game along with others that buy SC, but I'll tell ya this...its gonna be a while b4 I go get any more SC. That really drained my enthusiasm to enhance stuff.

Overall I've played for about a year and spent a total of around $65 on SC. I don't consider myself a heavy spender cuz that averages a lil over $5 per month. I've spent money on items such as the iron case (not a great investment imo), stat reset scrolls, clothes, and finnally reds/blues (t4). Its not bad, but for those people who are even less fortunate than me and can not spend much due to age/financial reasons, the later stages of the game is going to be a test of your willingness to fight on w/o the advantages of SC.

[kasarle]

Interesting comment. As someone that enhances alot i can give you my two cents on this subject since it is here.
there is a pattern, i've burned through more then my share of SC (about 2k) in the last 3 months to know that there is a pattern.
i can tell you this much.
every item, class, stone gives a diffrent pattern.
and if you fail, anywhere in there, then the pattern changes.
example, using all 3 eyes.
s6, s10, b2, s6, s3, s9 on a set of pants level 70 for a warrior as a warrior will give you +9 starting from +3. (s=standard, b=blessed l=lucky)
now i got another 70 pants and i went +3 then followed that pattern again but failed cause i used a diffrent stone combo. the pattern then went
s6, s10, 2b, 8b, s2, s3, so, your stone combo, level, item, item level, stone type all takes into account, and if you fail even once the pattern changes.

thats all i know about it...then again i recently got hopeless enhancer title...hehehe

[silverfox6669]

there is no pattern its pure luck every single person has their own "sweet spots" that they tend to stick too but overall its still just random as for enhancing i haven't tried to enhance anything beyond lvl 1 items because i can't make the stones yet but for the ones i can i've only made it as far as +7 5 elrues 8 lixes and 3 xir's just to have it break going to +8 :X

ps. Lucky elrues lowers your chance of success but has a 15% chance to make it go up by +2 instead of +1 and blessed.. well i don't really know what they're suppose to do because i've never succeeded in using them and have even broken a few weapons with them

[emeraldwriting]

Ooo, I hate enhancing! The highest I've ever enchanted something was from +3 to +6, and now my green weapon broke JUST trying to get it to +1!

[silentkiller101]

I have this problem that I can't seem to get rid of, when I became lvl 19 all of a sudden blacksmith James from Roumen stopped recognizing me. He offered me to do the hopeless James 2 quest which is a tutorial on how to enhance using the Ex Elrue stone which when I hover over in my inventory tells me:

"this is a mineral for training that is used to upgrade your weapons below the strength lvl 1."

I don't have nor did I ever have any weapons below lvl one, I tried it on several weapons I had both (partially) enhanced and unenhanced and it says there is a mismatch of levels. I can't sell the stone because like those red petals that I can't seem to get rid of it has a value of zero and somehow bound to my avatar. Both the Ex Elrue, the rose petals and the Mira pirate badges are bound to the avatar and can't be sold, traded or used in any way and they are just taking up inventory slots I can't even move them to storage.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

edit: Nevermind I just realized that I could discard them and have those items destroyed, I've never been so happy to destroy something.

[Myn19]

To do the quest you have to enhance a wep with a normal elrue,turn in the quest then destroy the fake,it was just so you could know how they look,got me confused for quite a while too =/

[aceofbace]

I'm really not sure if this has been covered and if it has, I'm sorry, and it would be lovely if you could direct me to where i should be looking. Around what level of my equipment should i be buying the cs items to protect them. So basically, at what level of equipment does the breakage risk become great?

[Kerobaros]

Even though I'm only level 20, I have noticed that there is a certain pattern with enhancing your gear. I would like to confirm this so i am going to be doing some tests when i get my stone pro up or if any of you can test it out for yourselves. I am quite curious about this. Any thoughts on this idea?

[Bonthra]

I'd say, don't waste your money enhancing (in-game or irl) until 50. Leveling is fairly swift until 50 or 60, so there's no urgent need to enhance until then. Also, I wouldn't attempt a T3 or higher enhancement at all without the use of Eyes/Miles.

At 20, there is. Rather, it's more along the lines of you can convince yourself there is because the success rate is so high. Not so much for higher tiered items.

well grr. thats probably right....ahwell, i got stupidly good luck so im fine for enhancing. now i just need stones.....

[Bonthra]

well grr. thats probably right....ahwell, i got stupidly good luck so im fine for enhancing. now i just need stones.....

Let me know if your luck holds out when you're enhancing T3 items and I'll believe it's luck and not algorithmic intervention.

[ixzmf]

it took me a while to figure out how to enhance. and today i actually bothered to try (i'm lv 35 cleric now) enhancing my lv 30 hammer
i enhanced 6 times, out of which i broke my weapons 3 times, failed once (didn't break) and succeeded twice.
so after 54 silver, i ended up with a +7 damage to my hammer. and i didn't want to try any more because it's becoming too costly

so if its so hard to enhance, how does other ppl do it?? how much $USD (to buy those red eye/blue mile) do you have to spend to get a lv 9 weapon??

A good basis for what people are generally getting when they enhance is the thread here: http://outspark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138231

heres a tip for items lvl 1-20 idk i it works for item greater i havent tried yet
upgrade you item to +3 you can try for +4 (dont recommend it) if it works stop wait a day
or two and upgrade to +6 its worked for me. I have 1h and shield +6(lvl20) 2h and axe +6(lvl20)

How could i use just one perfect red eyes in refine item when i have ten together in the storage?

You have to separate them. Hit shift+left-click and allocate 1 (or just hit Enter) then move that to an empty slot. From there, place the single Red Eye in the enhancing slot.

Thanks Bonthra

[whtamzn]

i would like to propose an alternate +10 glow for the weps. i think the current one isnt quite as nice as the others becasue its not adding to it its completely changeing it and the rest of the wepon is blah not shiney like the +9s or +8s. i think once the wep is sucessful and goes to +10 a sreen should appear letting you select between the 2 syles. the new glow for a +10 should be like the +9s with more shine and glow and like the xbows have wings and feathers that float off the weapon, so make a +10 xbow with the wings and the feathers and then add the blue black glow on top of that.

[ligen009]

i agree with whtamzn.
the current +10`s glow is quite lame and doesn`t look as godly as the +9`s.

[james211]

I'm not a huge fan of the +10 "glow" but I am glad it is easily discernible from the +9, which I'm sure was the goal. Simply making the glow brighter would not a good choice IMO, unless perhaps they dimmed the others. Frankly with some of the +9s one can barely even see the weapon itself.

[aim2kill]

exactly, why not just make it on all of +10 weapons like a black hole kind of demonic aura with a cool looking firey/bloody red aura that say drips blood or spark flames off it somewhat etc.

I think the coolest looking +10 weapons would be a black aura all over the weapon and a dark red like aura that glows on the outer edges of the weapons with say for example a blood drip like effect etc.

so, basically it would still have that awesome dark aura all over the weapon with a great bloody look to it on the edges of the weapon that would drop blood drips all over the ground.

overall it would be a very cool looking weapon/animations it would look sweeeeeet plus it would also look like you always just finished killing someone because your weapon is all bloody.

just my opinion though lol i'm fine with whatever they do but that would TRULY OWN.

[pato_muscat]

do titles help in enhancing?

[facetiousmind]

Enhancing makes me rage.

why does enhancing have to be so hard! they should make it 50% easier than how it is now. it is so annoying wasting bundles and stones.

[levelpeter]

O_O lol i made 4 +9's ^^ all sucessful 1bundle=+6-+7 than 2nd +8-+9 easy :D

[levelpeter]

D: im playing fiesta now IT ROCKS TY OUTSPARK FOR THIS G:eek:AME O_O :D

[hottymyls]

i dont know wer to post my question, but its related on enhancement.. any1 can tell me wer i can buy elrue T3 learning skill? tnx <33

[kasteroid]

Item merchant Nina. Elderine.

[docdoc]

how many production skill xp are need to make t3 stones?

[great_wolf]

my +9sand +10s take 3 to 4 bundles each time :/

[violence]

believe it or not there are a couple of patterns enhancement follows when enhancing i have only managed to figure out one of them and afterward it changed to a new pattern havent got the hang of the new one yet i get to like +7 and it gets al whacky for me ill get the new pattern though i did enhance a lvl 20 staff way back in 07 when cash shop didnt exist and it kinda peeves me that anyone can be a enhancement god because of cash shop the title should be different if you used cash shop you didnt get lucky for the title you bought it

[alizen]

Ugh... don't get me started with this... After this new patch they installed enhancing is near impossible unless you fork out MAJOR SparkCash...

sooooo unfair! i can't afford to enhance way up anymore

[kuanguwa]

All in all I think it's pretty lame it does seem like the success rate has decreased and the chance for breakage and degradation has gone up since the edition of the SC enhancement stone items which is pretty beat up because it wasn't exactly easy to enhance before then and I think a lot of the people that really enjoy the game wouldn't mind paying some money IRL for the SC stones to improve their good weapons and armor. So why in the world would they make enhancing more difficult? The only answer I can come up with is greed pure and simple so I will never buy any SC stones. I will probably continue to buy other SC items such as mount rations, and clothing but I refuse to spend any real money on enhancing equipment.

[alizen]

I wanna know why enhancing is so much harder now. You can't get past +3 without SC stones. I wonder if it was a ploy to make us buy more SC....? :confused:

[alfove]

I have a lv 70 blue- hatching mage wep,i have sc and want to enhance it to +9/10 now i never enhanced before so was wondering if anyone had great advice for me,id like to get the unbreakable stones from spark store,so shud i use lucky elrue till +3 then use lucky lix till +6,then use lucky xir to +9 right? then what if i want it plus +10 what stone do i use for it?

[Konastuff1800]

To get an item to +10 you will need to buy a karis. I don't know what server your on but on teva one karis can go anywhere from 1.3g to 1.8g ><

[darkacre]

I was only able to enhance a weapon once, and that was during orientation. Since then the center box remained locked. Just before this posting [I'm pissed] I tried once more by purchasing a [I believe] Lucky Lix for 5 silver and then some. The same problem existed!

However, I have a tendency to complete the title licensing of the weapon which I now think that, if a weapon has any titles on it. It cannot be enhanced [Generally, it would be the same thing]. But I could be wrong!

[windholder]

An answer: To earn T3 Stone Production, you have to make a LOT of T1 and T2 stones. Not as big a time-waster as you'd think: if you have the patience for it, you can actually make some good supplemental in-game income selling even T1 stones. You can purchase T1 materials from Nina in Elderine, but they can add up. I also would not try to market T1 Elrue straight up: materials are going to set you back 405c, and Pey in Roumen sells Elrue 1 at 270c last I checked. So you either vend in Elderine and hope someone pays for the convenience, or take a haircut on it. Better idea: Lix and Xir. Hit Echo Cave, break out your pickax, and mine copper like it's going out of style. Lix and Xir are profitable.

And now a question: My 48 Cleric just picked up a Level 2 bundle, and a Mace for Level 50. I'd like to enhance that now and have it waiting for me when I get to 50, but it's telling me my Blue Nine is the wrong level. I'm seeing the word "equipable" in there and thinking, can I not enhance this just yet because I can't wield it just yet? Or what?

You don't need Blue Nine at +0. Remove it, and just use red and gold nine for first try. Untill you get it to +1, add your blue nine and keep going untill + whatever you want.

[swordmastrx]

so if i use the peferct blue stone from the fiesta store...would it still break the item?

[gulliah]

^ yes, unless you use perfect red eye...

[windholder]

The Red Eye is what keeps it from breaking, Blue Nine is what keeps it from leveling down. And since it's not possible for something to go to -1, that's why you don't need Blue Nine at +0 (thanks for the answer, btw).

[dark_hawk8520]

If i don't have the skill to make T2 elrue, but i can make T1, can i use material composistion to turn Two T1 elrue into one T2 elrue?

[clasion]

So I'm now lvl 33 and earlier in the game I failed numerous times without my equip ever being destroyed, however today when I tried a second enhancement of my sword after the first worked, my sword was destroyed. Next I try my shield. Same story; after one successful attempt I tried again thinking that the occurrence with the sword was a fluke, only for my shield to be destroyed in the same, almost pattern-like way.

Is this because I'm a higher lvl now or did I miss some sort of memo?

[garandulf]

Enhacement is just horrible no more comments; no way u can bring your weap to +10 without SC xD! Dont every try it without wasting your money on enhacement bundles and ever think it will work; because that bundle only gives you 15% more success rate xD!!; no breakable 100% and no dowgradable 100% so u say xD!!.

[sutairu]

Cough 15% is a lie,its really 13%

[zoey1012009]

yes an enchancment will help u in some form ur weapons will glow and a pattern will appear on it if u look closly it will raise ur attack but some u can only nchanc to lvl 3 so most of the time u would wanna find ones that can go higher then lvl 3 lucky will only raise it to lvl 1 so the elxru u get from item merchent pay (by the remi the starter guide) u can buy 10 for 2 silver and 270 copper or 1 for 270 copper pm me if u need help or half questions

[cheesewarrior]

lol u fail if it took u tht long to get lvl 5 it took me i think an hour to get to 21 XD

[surebudd]

So, i have to be missing something, cause im trying to enhance a item level 2 item, ive tried with a tier 1 lix, tier 2 lix, and tier 1 elrue, as well as tried blesseds, and luckys.... and i either get the message "item cannot be enhanced because its level is too low" or... "The item cannot be enhanced because the stone level does not match...." i feel like its something small and stupid that im missing... but i would like to figure this enhancement thing out lol. Any help is appreciated.

[EmoSolider]

If it's a Tier 2 weapon, you must use T2 Elrue. It must also NOT BE EQUIPPED.
It must be in your inventory.

What is the stance on Necro'ing Stickied threads?

[tripleka]

Please help me! I am still doing the quest Shiny Weapons from the temporary skill master. Can u guys help me, ive been buying the elrue [1] production skill over and over again, but still wont allow me to learn the skill. I appreciate your great help

[geoursa]

You can only have 2 types of production skills. Possible types are Stones, Potions, Scrolls, Composition & De-composition. Elrue production is a Stone skill.

If you chose other types than you can buy the elrue to complete the quest. (item merchant sells for 270c each) The same goes for the hp potions.

If you haven't chosen your two.

Well, if you use Gold Nines, there's a minimum of 15% to start from. I think.

[iheartpower]

Out Spark needs to fix enhancing seriouslly...if you cant get an item from +0 to +9 from using 2 perfect enhancing bundles there is something wrong especially since the cheapest 2 bundles can be is 15$s so if your going to be this cheap Out Spark then just flat out tell people

[karbonnreaper]

what do the three little boxes at the bottom of the enchanment window do?

[Castoff]

what do the three little boxes at the bottom of the enchanment window do?

Seriously, Read the guide.

"The lower 3 boxes (They Are Red,Blue,Gold) Are used to place red eye or blue mile (red eye decreases chance of fail rate by 50%, perfect red eye decreases rate by 100%, blue mile are the same but only decrease downgrade rate). Red Eye and Blue Mile are purchased in fiesta store. (Before you go crazy about red eye, Failure means Breakage. It can still can fail or downgrade) The gold spot is unknown at the time. "

The gold spot is for Gold Nine, it improves your chances of success by 15%,

Have fun and stay safe out there,,,

I got my 90 hammer to +10 with 2 perfect enhancing bundles and no karis...
I hope they do not fix the enhancing rates, it does fine by me...

I am now at lvl 30 and i need to enhance my lvl 30 2handed axe.

But i can only use level 2 stones (elrue), level 1 elure doesnt work

I can produce tons of level 1 elure but to produce level 2, i need my skill to be 1500 right ?

I am now only 300/1000. What is the faster way to up to 1500 so i can produce a level 2 elure ?

[Castoff]

I am now only 300/1000. What is the faster way to up to 1500 so i can produce a level 2 elure ?

At 300 Stone XP, you can only make T1 Elrue and Lix, first goal is to get to 500 XP to make Xir too.

At level 30, you're probably getting dim dust drops, you can DECOMP DIMs to OLD dusts to make T1 Elrue.

Produce T1 Elrue to Lix to Xir. Each stage increases the XP provided so that Lix produces way more XP than Elrue and Xir way more than Lix. You can farm for dusts/ buy the dusts from Nina to produce your own Elrue, or buy the Elrue from Pey/Kenton. Lix and Xir also need Copper LQ/MQ (so COMP is a good idea to create MQ from LQ) and Topaz (so you'll be spending some time Echo Cave or in a purchase shop to get these materials).

As you learn the recipes, you'll learn the quantity and types of materials to produce these stones. There's a bigger XP gap between T2 and T3 stones than between T1 and T2. If the stone production skill is important to you, focus on it now to make it easier to make T3 stones when you need them (by making T1 and T2 stones),

FYI: The XP gap between T1 Xir and T2 Elrue is 500 to 1500 XP, the gap between T2 Xir and T3 Elrue is 3900 to 17800 XP.

Have Fun and stay safe out there

[docdoc]

where does one find the xir 4 recipe?

[igoham_28]

Is it true that blues get higher +def when you enhance it to +9 than regular npc shirts?

[Castoff]

where does one find the xir 4 recipe?

Cyburn in Uruga sells the T4 XIR recipe for 190s.

Have fun and stay safe out there.

[razormane007]

i've noticed one detail across all 3 of my chars - lvl 3x archer, lvl2x mage and cleric.... at tier1 till +2 - no problems - very rare chance of breakage. +3 onwards the fun starts.. and here i've noticed if you get a equipment downgrade i.e: a +3 to a +2 and still continue enhancing - then 7/10 times you will break your weopon within 2 enhancements - assuming that u dont close the window and do it in one stretch.. any thoughts?
