2 Questions about lucky stones

[ddmatrix]

I know that lucky stone has a chance of increasing the upgrade of +2 instead of +1.
My question 1 is: If the weapon is already at +2, does using a lucky elrue can make it jump to +4? (hence, saving a lix?)

I suppose what i'm asking is: Did this ever happen to anyone?

My question 2 is: I don't think anyone has to answer to this, but i'll ask anyways: If weapon is +8, does using a lucky xir increases the chance of success, or does it decrease, or no difference?
Why? I mean, it all depends on how the game was implemented:
If weapon at +8, we are lucky and get the +2 increase (instead of regular +1), what happens?

1. Fail: meaning that using lucky at +8 will decrease the chances of success.
2. Success: meaning that using lucky at +8 will increase your chances of success
3. Or, simply put, At +8, lucky becomes same probability as normal stones, hence wasting lucky.

Did anyone try this? Maybe its not even possible to use lucky at +8 (just like u cannot use Blue Miles on the first upgrade)

Thanks,

Answer to first question: Yes, it does jump to +4. I pulled it off ONCE with one of my armors, and it made me start to really appriciate lucky stones.

Answer to second comes with a question: ARE there Lucky Xirs?

Hum... if your question is: does lucky xirs exist, then yes, they do (i have quite a number of them). Why not? It can jump from +7 to +9 in normal circumstances... I guess my question 2 is due to my curiosity... :)

There are lucky Elrues, Lixes, and Xirs at all tiers.

And lucky Xirs at +8 is just assanine. Use a blessed one.

yes there are lucky xirs, and if u use a luckey at +8 it will go 2 +9 not 10, right now it will only go 2 +9

Lucky stones have 5% chance of +2ing of it succeeds. They also have -5% success rate to normal stones. Blessed stones have +5% success rate to normal stones.

Lucky= -5% success rate, 5% chance of +2ing if succeeds.

Normal= average success rate.

Blessed= +5% success rate.

These statistics apply for all pluses of the item. Lucky Xir would still cut success rate by 5% at +8 and if you get the +2 effect it'd still go to +9 and you would never be able to tell if it +2ed or not lol. I really really reccomend Gold Nine + blessed xir at +8 because it really helps your success rate. Gold Nine adds 15% success rate and blessed xir adds 5% success rate so you get 20% success rate bonus. It helps quite alot, I got my 78 pants from 8-9 in like 5 tries with gold nine and blessed.

Also on a side note, I reccomend using Gold Nines once the item is +6. Gold Nines also add a small chance of +2ing. I got my lv10 sword +7 to +9 with 1 regular xir using Gold Nine.

Side side note, Gold Nine + lucky stones will not grant you +3 or +4 in 1 try lol I think if both used though it increases the chance of +2ing in 1 shot.

Moron..............what is this, a 10-month old necro? DON'T NECRO OLD THREADS, EH?

Hmm and the chances of breakage on level 2 items and above without buying items to prevent it appears to be 50-75 percent...it may just be me. For those people who has no way of buying spark cash thats really frustrating for playing the game itself as well as for trying to enhance.
