Refining Terror.

Alot of people have posted and complained about this but I'm going to bring it up again. Because I've spent so much money on mirages and DPs(all the grinding/shop I have done) and the refining keeps failing. And when it fails it takes away all the +s... I was wondering if there's any ways to stop this cycle and have successful +s with minimal cost for someone who doesn't purchase from CS? I have heard of some weak time server trick from people to successfully refine your EQ, but I'm not sure about the details.They have made me so broke I'm on the verge of quitting the gameb:sadb:cryb:surrender

    Ok... so you did not go looking around the lagcats for dragon orbs to make sure you never fail the refine?

    With some good searching you could have found dragon orbs and bought them, since they give any refining equivelent to their level and below a 100% success rate. Just it will be expensive, because refining is expensive in nature.

    Yup i did buy dragon orbs from some cats. But they don't really sell often by people in the game. But it's like, I've made a 2 star orb, and i refined it, it only gives me 1 star. so even if i made a 5 star orb, does that means it will give me 1 star too? =_= It's so depressing lol.

    1 star dragon orb will guarantee 100% success rate to make an item +1
    2 star dragon orb will guarantee 100% success rate to make an item +1 or +2
    3 star dragon orb will guarantee 100% success rate to make an item +1 +2 or +3

    etc. etc.

    so if you want to make an item +1, you can use a 2 star dragon orb but why waste it? just get a 1 star dragon orb instead. or, just gamble with it for +1 since you don't lose anything anyway.

    remember, refining items doesnt increase their stars, only their stats.

    Well, obviously if i spend so much money on the orbs and mirages i definitely want my wep to be more than +1.. in fact i was going for +3 or +5. but then it just kept failing for me. cause of that i dun log in anymore. lol too disappointing.

    Remember than the more + your item have, the more likely it is to fail at the next try to upgrade it...
