What should i use in order to get a high chance of getting a 3 star weapon?
/item? Dragon orb tienkang/tisha stone? i read they're for 0 to +5, so is there an item to get a better chance of 3 star weap/armor?

Is +5 the highest upgrade or can u go +10?

Does the HH and the Legendary have a 100% success rate on making one?

If any of the + upgrades fail, do u lose the weap/item, like does it break and i heard if it fails u lose a level of crafting?

Thank you.

    Dragon orbs and such are for making the weapon +1, +2, +3, etc. I forget how high they can go but its past +10

    There is no item in the game to increase the chances of making a 3 star item

    TT and mold gear is made 100% of the time when you try.

    If a + upgrade fails, the item remains, however the item returns to +0

    Thanks for the responses, but the dragon orb is only good for +5 so from +6 and above u risking it right? and i would assume the higher u go the more the success rate decreases?

    Actually you only see a 5 star orb in the cash shop, however you can take lower level ones and combine them into higher level ones, to a max of 12 star dragon orb going by what AlpineFrost said.

    Yes they go up to +12.

    Something interesting that I came to realize today: You will spend much less gold buying 1 star Dragon Orbs and combining them to make the higher level Orbs. I didn't bother doing the math any higher but a 5 star Orb will cost you 12g to combine, but costs 13.5g to buy it premade. This is using the current sale prices, I don't remember what they cost normally but I would imagine the math will end up being fairly similar. Just keep it in mind when you go to refine with Orbs.
