Enchanting 55 Gear Sucks

It's ridiculous, finally got the points to get the 55 hammer but it's pretty much unusable. 200 L70 Stones Later and it's still +0.

It's pretty much going to have to sit in inventory until I can buy lvl 145 stones or better to plus.

The rates pretty much 50/50 so save your money and buy cheaper stones instead of L70's or save your credits.

Haven't had any issues getting L50 gear to +15.

Imo I think the success rate should be way higher... it's sort of discouraging the point of buying level 55 gear when you can just enchant the lower level gear to be closer to what the 55 is.


Just my thought's on the issue though.

 

what are you talking about?? i havent used a singel stone higher then lvl 60 and my orb is 15+ and evry single armor pice is 15+

 

Are you using lvl 55 gear?

I haven't had any problems plussing 50 gear, on average 50 stones.

55 Gear is a different story. I've failed 200 L70 stones on the 55 hammer. No Joke. 2 bil up in smoke.

I know what the default rate should be for L70 stones for the server software but it's easily changed in the config. It should be 75% but theres no way. I've only been able to get it over 10 twice with 200 L70 stones and it failed at 14 both times. At best it's 50% with lvl70 stones. On the other hand the lvl145 stones work perfectly.

I guess they figure if you got the money/credits to get the 55 gear you got the money/credits to buy the higher level stones from the shop.

I'm having cabal flash backs. Do not want. inched:

im using the lvl 55 Archon Brigade General's armor and weap.

take a lvl 60 stone and enchant with then wait 10-15min and do it again.

if you do it this way its 100%

 

i've tried that and its not 100% :lol:

 

guys in my opinion lvl 50 abyss gear and 55 abyss gear have i little diff anyway so i would choose 50 instead of 55 hehehe....

 

use supplements , noobs *cough* *cough*

 

Yup I agree, it definitely should be higher, but not too high though.

 

its not all that bad tbh. i've +15ed 2 lvl 55 Items so far it just takes time and patience. your only using a stone 15 lvls higher than the item rather than 20 so naturally you will have a lesser success rate

 

I enchanted my 55 Staff to +15 with 17 lvl 100 stones.

 

Supplements don't work on this server. It isn't retail. *cough* noob *cough*

Just keep trying. It takes time, but it is worth it. Honestly though, a few base atk points, a bit more hp, and more strike resist is honestly nothing too much. Its nice to have, but the weapon is still beastly without it . And if you do use donation stones, pls buy the lv 100 ones since those should be just fine.

 

I have been patient but when your using hundreds of the max lvl stones you can get without paying money for 100+ stones from the shop and I can't even get it to +10. It's a little ridiculous.

The rates seems like they are less than the stock settings for a normal Aion Unique install and this is supposed to be a high rate server?

I've wondering what else was tweaked besides fixing the disenchant bug. The rates definitely seem lower. :lol:

It just seems like things are going the way of cabal where you can't + hi level gear unless you buy stones from the shop.

I did it without buying the stones. In fact, I did my whole set without them. It just takes time and lots and lots of stones. But yeah, the rates were not changed at all. You are just using a 55 item, and the higher cap makes it harder to go from +10-+15. The bugged rng may play a bit into it, but it still isn't a huge deal. Just keep at it my friend.

 

Im gonna have to agree with Zero on this one. I had a hard time getting my damn lvl 50 gear to +15 let alone a lvl 55 piece.

 

Finally got the 55 Warhammer to +15. Took another 75 or so stones to get it to +10 then used L100 stones to get it to 15. I wouldn't waste L69/L70 stones trying to get to +15 with the 55 gear. Chances are you will spend more money on L69/L70 stones because of the 50/50 rate than what it would have cost you to purchase L100 Stones.

275 L70 Stones = 2.75 bil + Still Ended up Buying 15 L100 stones for 900 mil. Total cost to +15 a 55 Warhammer = 3.05 bil. (I only used 5 of the L100 Stones so I had 10 left over.)

If I would have just Got it to +10 and used L100 Stones to begin with it would have only cost me a 1 bil.
