    RNG is RNG. I failed the same amount of times as well on my bow and that reminds my why +ing isn't worth it when I could spend the coin on soda instead. It's SO-DApressing.

    Welcome to Nexon games where RNG is rigged just like Vegas. Hope you have deep pockets because thats the only way you'll get +10.

    Except if everyone did that there would be no one to buy +10s from outside of coupon events...

    In my experience (this includes what ive heard from others as well) : If you have a weapon that fails a lot of times, get rid of it. Boom it if you can. Im not talking about reasonable fails, like failing to go from +5 to +8 ten times. Thats still reasonable. When you encounter the same weapon, on multiple days/times, failing something like +10 ten times....just calculate the probability of it happening. IIIRC its like 0.00098% or something like that, which is worse than 1 in 100,000.

    This is not a weapon you want to keep sinking runes into. Everyone that i know who has ended up with a weapon like this and kept sinking runes into it has regretted it. Dont fall for the sunk cost fallacy.

    My personal theory is that items are generated with a seed number which determines the numbers that can be rolled when you enhance it. So for example you might end up with a bad seed that only has a 10% chance to roll a 51 or higher to suceed at a 50% enhance. Of course this theory is impossible to prove without access to the source code/some insider info from Devcat. An example of a game that uses seeds for RNG generation is Titan Quest : When you start the game, you get a certain seed that determines what items may drop, so it is literally impossible to get certain sets/uniques to drop on one playthrough without restarting the game. IIRC, PSO:BB used a similar system where item drops were dependant on your character name/class combination (meant to encourage trading).

    The RNG in general is known to be streaky...very easy to see this if you incinerate items one by one and record the results.

    Of course if you dont believe me and want to keep sinking runes into the weapon, go ahead, its your money/runes.

    I tried this and failed 9 runes at 50% probability. If it ever did increased your enhance chance, it doesnt anymore.

    So 50%, which is +8 or lower that you were going for, just going for that, you went in and out of the forge however many times it took to get him to say "Welcome to the Forge" before each enhance attempt? Certainly not an impossibility, but I find it unlikely that you did something that tedious just to hit +8 or less.

    I strip my Lann of all his armor and hope Ferghus likes what he sees. Then I press enhance. Confirmed to work only 50% of the time.

    ... plus I only go for it when he says, "come in, come in."

    Note: Don't try this with Videk ... that little scammer.

    I suspect seduction only works 50% of the time because Ferghus's hammer swings one way half the time, then swings the other the rest of the time.

    Do you think it'll increase to 100% if I make Lann look like a girl?

    No, because he'll still swing one way or the other. Continuing this line of thinking though...if a feminine looking character walks in and fails an enhancement, you might be able to succeed with a masculine looking character immediately afterwards.

    Rip, so I gotta get lucky that his hammer swings the right way when I come in to enhance.

    And lol what. That logic. But I can see it.
    If anyone tries it and it works, let me know.
