    There the weekend event, but yeah it mostly a sale /^^'. The 5% Enchant and 3% Enhancement increase in the only part that is an event and is pretty decent, if i have lots of gold i would go for it. Sadly I don't have lots of gold but this should help out new players by a lil bit.

    Are you kidding me, do you work for Nexon lol? Let's go all in guys, they raised enchant success 5%!!!! That literally makes zero difference, if you think otherwise then you have fallen for Nexons scam.

    I agree with OP, this is not an event.

    Yep, I agree this is not an event.
    The other enhancement event (I think it was called the one shot event? Don't remember) we had that is far better was a chance to get gear to +8.
    Sure you'd need like a couple mil to try getting one shot to +8 but I feel its better than this "event".

    I concur.

    I don't know who's in charge of naming these things, but they need to stop doing a disservice to their community by pretending that these things are "events."

    "Event" refers to the extra chances I suppose, although sales been often called an event either way. It's still better than this fake +8 shot thing with 4% chance by a long way. You can also combine it with Goibhniu's Enhancement Stone, and in an example change success chance from 33% to 39,3%. This varies on enhancement rank.

    Reminder to everyone that the 39.3% chance SirRFI refers to is only for +12 > +13 attempts with ghobby stones. Enhancements beyond that don't get a boost (+14/+15).

    EDIT: The language of the website is "Enhancement chance increased by 3% for all Enhancements below +13". So does that mean attempting for +13 or attempting to enhance a +13 to +14? Confusing. Don't risk it.

    The 5% bonus to Enchantment is actually pretty huge when the success rate for r8-r7 is restricted to 25-40%. As Download said though, it ultimately makes little difference when you only have enough money to attempt a few times.

    @2edgy4u Looks like I had it wrong at first. The initial 3% is a raw 3% increase in enhancement chance regardless of the current level. The Goib stone is then an additional 10%, but of the current level, so 40% +3 for 43% from the event, then 43% + 10% of 43 or 4.3% from the Goib, so 47.3% as the final chance.

    Enhancement chance increased by 3% for all Enhancements below +13
    • For example, an enhancement with 50% chance of success becomes a 53% chance during the event
    • Bonus is applied separately from the bonus granted by Goibhniu's Enhancement Stones and will stack

    Goib:
    • Will increase enhancement success rate by 10% based on the current Enhancement Level of the equipment

    Pretty poopy that we never get heads up on things like this. Someone who just mass enhanced is going to be feeling sick. I yolo'd some scrolls just for kicks and definitely would have waited had I known this was inbound.

    seems like a good deal, but i've become disillusioned with better-rng events. pity we dont have a large and reliable enough community to collect data and keep nexon honest. by my confidence there is a 35% likelihood this event and ghoibnu stones do nothing at all.

    I have trust issues with these 'increase' chance thingys since forever.

    I've failed miserably most of these only to come back to standard enhancement and actually get good results.
