so with orbs as expensive as they are, im looking for alternate ways to + my gear. I've heard a little more about refining at a place duke talks about. I've never really looked into it but was wondering if it even works. Assuming it does, im curious how high people refine with his advice, if they use other refine aids (tishua stones or w/e for example), how good the chance is for a success (i.e. i know you could probably get to +5 without refine aids if you were to burn a few thousand mirages.. but I was looking for a ballpark idea on how many mirages id be wasting to get to whatever +), or any other info anyone has about it. Thx in advance.

    you ever tried to use the search feature? lulz its 100% useless on these forums, I gave up on it when I searched for wizard 79 skills and went through an entire page of threads that were totally unrelated. (was a few months ago)

    I usually have some witty one-liner for idiots who are too stupid to think of something to say on their own and resort to using the words of other people and repeating what they said before.

    Actually, no I don't. You're the first person that I've met who's dumb enough to do that.

    To OP: This has been discussed before. No one's really sure. There are some who say they've gotten to +5 using Duke's advice and others who claim that the Duke is a lying sack of ****.
    Meh, saw a couple other people doing this so...

    I usually have some stupid comment for posts as dumb as this, but you just have too many dumb posts/threads.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    @alexeno: besides the fact that the search function is messy (i still use it anyway) dont u think that some1 with 700+ post knows what to do ?

    i was searching too the DUKE GUIDE into the crafting nook where it was once...after pages of research i manage to find it...

    BUT on the first post, where are the fact on duke were posted, now theres just "I HATE DUKE", probably due to a fail refinement...

    this means NO DUKE GUIDE...b:surrender
    so lets make another if some1 has some clue

    I used to have a map of the territory advisors to get +1-+8 that my friend from the CN version gave me (He refined all his gear like that). The catch is you gotta own the lands to make the success rate even obtainable. But if you do own the lands, spam duke untill he tells you which territory advisors give you +1-+8, map it out and bring lots of tishua stones :)

    I heard it actually works from a couple of people. But yea, you need to be in a faction that owns the land.

    @OP:

    +1 The Harshlands
    +2 The Frozen Path
    +3 Avalanche Canyon, Thousand Wood Ridge, Windswept Grasslands, Courage Path, Land of Buried Bones
    +4 Haunted Path, Tradewind Village, The Great Lake, South Barrier Mountains
    +5 City of Misfortune, Shining Tide Woods, Stairway to Heaven, The White Ridge
    +6 Ancient Wall, Dragon Wilderness, Valley of the Hidden Orchid, Black Mountain
    +7 Broken Plain, Silk Ridge, Peach Blossom Grove, Ridge of the Dreaming Cloud
    +8 Ancient Peak, Wellspring Village, Deserted Sea
    +9 Vibrant Cliffs, Fragrant Hills, Walled Stronghold
    +10 Mount Lantern, Sundown Town, King's Feast
    +11 Immolation Camp, Dribbling Spring, Swamp of the Wraiths
    +12 Forest of Haze, Dragon's End, Plain of Farewells

    Use teinkang stones, and you have to own the lands. And I know someone who +6-+8'd all his gear in my faction using this method really cheap (something like half the cost of D Orbs).


    @troll: get a life that doesn't revolve around nonsensical petty vengeful spammage.
    HT clerics at their finest:

    hari: can you do mdef debuffs? makes the fight go faster
    naughty_x: waste, I do more damage without them
    hari: ...you do more damage in 2 seconds than reducing mdef by 35% for 4 casters does in 20 seconds?
    naughty_x: is waste, i do more damage

    hari: 3-3 BH goes a lot faster with a sin
    naughty_x: no, only a difference of like 3 minutes
    hari: ...we've been in here a lot longer than 3 minutes already
    naughty_x: your opinion

To deny the light is to deny yourself the feeling of true happiness and true peace within your own soul. Denying your own happiness and your own soul is denying all that one has to live for."

    You can search these forums on google. Just add site:pwi-forum.perfectworld.com to the query to limit it to these forums. Comes in handy if you're searching for 3-letter words (which the search here inexplicably prohibits) like 'pet' or 'orb'.

    Also, you can blacklist people on the forums. Just click on their avatar picture. Then click on User Lists (right next to Send Message) and select Add to Ignore List.
