Ok, I've been playing PWI for over 3 years. I've crafted hundreds of times various weapons, armor, etc.

Now, suddenly, I can't make a 3 star if my life depended on it. I have tried over 50 times on one character, then leveled up another and tried about 40 times with him, and yet a third character, and probably over 40 times with her. I've tried different blacksmiths in different cities....no go.

Now, decent 2 stars are starting to dry up. What the heck is going on? I've NEVER had this much trouble before!!! Is there some kind of percentage lowering suddenly on PWI's part??

    I thought you could only get 3 stars from boss drops.

    You can craft 3* too.

    @OP I don't know for sure, but I have noticed it too, whether or not it's just us having bad luck or not I can't say b:surrender In any case, any crafting I do these days is from molds so not too big a deal for me. They're also really cheap now.

    I have a friend who claims that you have better chances on crafting if you craft stuff your level just like with drops.

    That's just it. I have been. I reach the level, then attempt to craft my next wep. No luck.

    The percentages are quite small. Using your avatar (lvl 55 cleric), the 54 magic sword "☆☆☆Military Sword" has a 3% chance to be crafted as 3star....if the pwdb is accurate on that.

    Just use free divine quest weps then. It even has your name on it like a crafted one.
