yesterday i got my legendary 70 magic sword from +0 - +5 with only 1 fail and only used 4 tisha stones. now today after the servers came right back up i used over 100 mirages and many more stones and it keeps on failing on me. i wasted over 4m for nothing and weapon never made it pass+2 now on +1 b:cryb:cry can a GM or someone tell whats the %rate of each lvl to the next with stones pls. i was really pissed off today after i passed to +5 w/o any effort before the server downtime. if this is really bugged can a GM do a rollback on the last hour pls. b:surrender b:sad

    I don't know the exact %s. Getting +1 is easy around 90% or so. Getting +2 is under 50%. Getting +3 is under 10%, some say like 4%. +4 plummetting below 1% and +5 even lower still. There is no bug, you just got EXTREMELY lucky on your first attempt to get up to +5.

    are those % with stones? i have tryed to +3 a few times before and it wasnt that hard as during the last hour and i always use stones for +2 and higher. this is got to be the worst refineing exp ever ...i think its more like a bugged server issue that is affecting it. b:surrender

    The stones don't seem to raise the % by an aweful lot. Most people will buy the (very expensive) dragon orbs, which guarentee the refine for any # of +s up to the # of stars the dragon orb has. Noone i've ever spoken to has reported much success using those Tisha stones.

    but their were 2 stones there and both says rises refine greatly, what does greatly mean then?

    Greatly could mean it doubles the chance (i dont know the exact increase). However doubling 0.5% only = 1%. Doubling 0.1% (the probably +5 success rate) only = 0.2%. The wording is misleading to the actual result.

    Already told you i don't know the exact percentages because noone has ever given this to us, anywhere. So i doubt a GM is going to respond to you now with the chance percentages. But just talk to other players, and not just one or two. Speak to high levels with alot of refinements, speak to as many people as you can find. Eventually you'll come to the same numbers i have, most are quoted from a consensus of others i've spoken to, although not everyone will agree. Unfortunately, there is no information given to us to verify anything.

    I heard the highest was a +9 using those stones in MY-EN before they implemented the Dragon Ball. It was the only +9 in the server. Nonetheless, I believe it's a scam. The % is just too low.

    search the stones on pwdatabase.com they suck, hence dragon orbs, hence so few highly refined pieces (and of course transfer stone not implementedb:angry)

    No need to talk like this, she is just trying to help you out based on the best of her knowledge, you should have appreciate her help instead saying something like this.

    And yes, based on what I have experienced, you are trying your luck if you do not use DO. Few weeks ago, me and a friend both in City of lost to refine our HH70 weapon, I used 4 mirages to get my weapon to +2, that’s 100% success rate, he use almost 50 mirages to just get his weapon to +2. We consider I was extremely lucky and he is extremely unlucky that day.

    What happened to u is hardly a bug, u got lucky the first time around but I highly doubt u will again with these. You got lucky with +5 but getting to +4 with these is already hard enough. Obviously the chance is not that high, or there would be no reason to use dragon orbs.
