Nothing constructive to say here....

Anyway bought a gamestop card and got the 2 BEWR and a giant EWR with the ncoin.

+2 apo dual dagger, used giant scroll>>>> +3 apo dual dagger. Ok well didn't get lucky with the giant scroll, goodbye $25....

So now use 1 BEWR, poof back to +0...

Buy 3 regular enchants on broker, 50mil later +3 daggers again

Use second BEWR....poof back to +0

Pretty angry at this point.... so decide to use the rest of my adena to buy 3 more regular scrolls and 1 bewr.... 300mil later...... back to +0 daggers.... :mad::mad::mad:

Yea yea I know it's lowbie apo daggers and not the same as longing talisman or something... but I'm just a casual player that thought over 1 billion worth of scrolls and $25 could get my daggers to +4.....
well my dear friend welcome to life with percentages, everything in this game is random ( like they should be )
Are u lucky or not? :D
Next time everything may go the way u do but u may also spent 1-2 bil and get nothing :cool:
Keep trying :rolleyes:
L2 is THE ultimate gamble machine, do not gamble here if you have issues of loosing what you earned.:D

Many have been heart broken by the game's ruthless random law.
Wow, ouch. We know that feel, bro.
Yea, about 2 weeks ago, I thought I would try to enchant my
+3 Apoc Retributer-Acu-Emp to +4.

I had 1.4B adena so, figured I would try my luck on a Blessed EWR.

Ended up failing 7 BEWR scrolls, finally a success at +4 with my 8th Blessed EWR scroll.
Lost 1.2B on that deal.
I feel ya bro im 0/8 on my Leather Armor +4, but i got to +5 on my weapon first try and +5 on my frint after about 4 tries. Its all random no tricks, just gotta bite the bullet.
Manage to get a blessed Apoc weapon to +4 only on the 6th try.
I think the success rate for Rgrade prolly at 33% :mad:, instead of the normal 66%.
With all these adenas u could take a better weapon from AH, without the stress of enchanting failures .. or the better option imho is to take some cheap bound apocalypse (or create if u want duals) and OE with normal scrolls & then u will use a unbind scroll to make it normal(or blessed if lucky) & then a blessed scroll.And ofc at the end u put it 300 elem and u have a very powerful weapon :p
For some unknown reason NCWest keep telling lies to their players about this. They all say its always 2/3 for weapons and 1/3 for armor. It is not true.
Fortunately Innova made some tests on the rates and was able to get some information that you guys will probably find useful.

Difference between S and R weapons: here (https://4gameforum.com/showthread.php?t=14437) (using aprox. values: 70% for S physical, 50% for R physical, 40% for S Mage and 25% for R Mage)

Chance of getting a +20: here (https://4gameforum.com/showthread.php?t=13922) (Basically proves that the enchant rate is not the same for all levels of enchantment)

Hope this helps. ;)
Welcome to Korean random chances..
yep thats why i sold my BEWR and bought my R95 gear with them. i was able to buy unidentified weapon + seraph set, and while item checking the gaiters turned to standard. ;-) just got to really think and decide where and when to spend your money/adena. like, im so glad i bought my tw set when i did because only a few days later the prices shot up.. just luck and thought.
20% chance to go from +19 to +20.... if all the others are 20% chance, then that means all in all a....


0.000000000655% chance to enchant a +0 to +20.....


yikes!

And yet, Martelx has a +19 bow... But he's totally legit, right? ;)
well if your not catching any fish, you need to cast bigger nets!

I wish I had the money to buy 1000 top R items and millions of EWRs to sit there and enchant to +20.... but I just don't have the resources. Few do, and that's why it's so rare...

I CAN hope to get a decent +6 or so, and hopefully someday I'll have one...

remember, even david killed the goliath who was +20 stronger than him...

and in the movie Braveheart, "a soldier's greatest weapon is his mind..." or something like that
As far as I know there isn't any player on Naia at the moment who has a +15 R grade weapon and hasn't spent less than 70 destruction scrolls to get it.

The most fails I know about is a blessed R95 retributer with 19 fails for +4, so gl with enchanting!

P.S. And my own blessed retributer failed 12 times to get i to +4

I was using every dirty word i could come up with...i know your pain and frustration :eek:
