Enchant Chance Lowered Dramatically

U guys must have a shit luck ive enchanted my entire set to +15 with barely any failstacks the highest i used was 15 to get to +15 itself Lmao XD

 

chances for a PRI should be 52% lol

 

I agree. These rates are way to low. It lowers motivation to even try to go higher in gear. our inventories are full of +40 Advice of valks and we dont even have +15 gear. Also, the whole game was not adjusted to cope with lower average gear level. Making it unfun not getting upgrades and not doing any good dmg on mobs.
@Kolka We need you hear buddy if you can leave your post at the prison. This enchanting rates are demotivating. Many share this feeling. It is way lower than official. The reason why many come here is to not have this bad rng enchanting casina. Here it is way worse now. 1to1 as official or slightly higher chance would be awesome here to make it fun again.

 

if it was at least like retail, people wouldn't even complain much but this is too much.

We can clearly see that retail is way easier than gamez

 

I'm not too sure about the enchanting rate being the only problem however. Weapon black stones are such a pain to find, if you aren't doing the boss summon scrolls or have someone whos done all the grinding required to hit 90 ap on their char and you just leech off them until you get the ap yourself.

Even if the enchanting was set slightly higher, you've still got to look at the other elephant in the room. Ive picked up 340 black stone armors, but I cant seem to get more than 30-40 weapon stones by the time I do. Either the enchanting rates need to go up or the weapon stones need to drop more often because the ratio of armor to weapon stones is insane. I still remember throwing 40 weapon stones into my +10 green awakening weapon not realizing how bad the rates actually happened to be and ended up really screwing myself over for 4 ap, on a +10 weapon thats insane.

I get that they want longevity, but there's slightly more to it than just hitting the enchanting rates with a massive nerf bat. If they really wanted to do something, they should raise the enchanting rates for green items and leave the boss gear a pain to upgrade if they absolutely need to keep them low for longevity. (This way they keep the longevity but dont cause people to just uninstall for those that can.) But they really should realize that keeping the rates as bad as they are is going to chase alot of people out.

 

Lowered "Dramatically"
*Insert drama here*

Keep scrolling don't mind this post

 

the word choice actually makes it justice

 

Well as what I've red it is really justifiable that there would be a drama because of that rates :3

 

Well Pri is easier then 14 to 15 on retail took me around 5-6 FS but here im up to 41 with no luck going to Pri.

 

This is a personal problem. Clearly not looking in the right places. One of em is even a low level spot so...

 

I am 100% Backing this thread

This whole "longevity" is a Gamez server meme simply for the fact that only the minority agree with the change to dramatically decrease rates. Meanwhile the rest of us try to grin and bear through it.
One thing I haven't seen anyone mention is how the staff team (Or maybe just the owner?) decided to add a bonus of sorts to their premium:

• Enchantment chance rates increased by 30%

This to me is a red flag for the server. You don't just make a communistic choice to completely change your game right before official launch, unless you have a great motive in mind: Money.

Now I'm not saying for sure that is the motive here and that's why things happened the way they did, but it sure as hell looks like it from my perspective. Not to mention this thread has 0 replies from any staff members after 3 weeks. Those actions alone are speaking louder than words as to why they're not acknowledging us.

The players (myself included) are in a difficult spot, as there aren't many private BDO servers to choose from and the staff know it.

 

I understand your guys' frustration, truly I do. My power is limited, however. I have not answered this thread because I felt I could not add anything substantial to the conversation, not because I was ignoring anyone. Just let me know if I can do anything within my power, and I will do my best. Have a great day all

 

you are backing a thread that is weeks old. The enhancing system was changed at least twice since it was created. Enhancing is alot easier now.

 

I haven't played in the beta and I joined a week later since it officially got out of the beta phase so I can't really tell how was the enchanting rate back then but I totally agree on how easy it is to enhance at the moment.

 

when the server launched, the enhance rates were abysmally bad. there were people doing 80 fs before +15!

 

Huh? I just got 4 chars to 40+ fs trying to get from +15 to PRI (starting at 15fs each)
RNG just being RNG to me I guess. ._.
Sorry for my rant guys.

 

u are right on that though. PRI should have around 52% chance at 24 fs. I also noticed that from 15 to PRI the chances are fked up. Rest seems somehow fine

 

Did you try to PRI a green item?

 

I tried Greens and Yellows and always went to a higher FS count than Duo or Tri xD

 

Hmmm... weird. I notice that I can upgrade greens easier than blues. Idk about yellows but then again, retail changed the formula for FSing lower grade items to make them easier to upgrade.
