Enhancement patterns?

[NotMyWay]

I wonder if there are any patterns with enhancing? yesterday i destroyed my item a few times while trying to enhance a low level bow to +6 (just to get a title, and make my production characters look nicer) and after some time, i changed my title from "Silent" to "Triumphant Enhancer". I succeeded after that, and failed (not destroyed) only once if i remember correctly.

I thought that my title might boost success rates, but today, i attempted to get another item to +6 again (this time, i wanted to get Enhancement God, which requires u to upgrade an item to +9). I tried to get another bow to +6 first in case of breakage. I failed many times, and I often switched characters to produce more enhancement stones.

I have heard rumours that for getting an item to +6, you will need to break a certain number of items first. I have never really believed those rumours, but either there is some truth to it, or random probablity hates me today . I've been trying for a few hours already (my buffs expired a few times, and i had a storage character almost full of stones on one page, now its almost empty). (but random probablity gave me a lucky lix while i was mining for copper). I wonder is there some pattern, like is it deliberately programmed that you must fail/break a few times to get to +6 (so that new players dont become rich overnight, and dont get so overconfident that they end up losing everything and quitting), or is it just "luck"?

Btw, the "give me ur weapon i enhance for u!!11" scam wont work on me.

There has been many discussions on this and even some fishy information given out. But, I believe it boils down to the fact that NO there is not a pattern.
If there is any type of pattern it is: "if you enhance - you will break".

Random numbers.

Well the Enhancing wheel is not at all random, but follows no pattern either. What I mean by this is that the system decides weather or not you will be successful and when it does... makes no difference where you put the stone. For example I have shifted stone placement each time and got a success every single time and done this many times... in a random system the probability of that happening is outrageously unlikely and might as well be considered impossible. So why do they even have the wheel? To give you hope of course or at least make you feel in control of your luck. Also it adds a gambling addiction element, which does wonders to funding Outpark with sales of CS stones. If you don't think the wheel is fake think of it like this to get a +9 if we considered each event to have independent probability would give you 1 out of 134 Million chance of being successful. So this actually a good thing then that the wheel is not random and only your chance of success is random.

I can definetly confirm the gambling addiction element...

Where once I had 120 silver, now I have none. All thanks to enhancment.

I think we need an Enhancement Anonymous forum...

Well, when I use the stone and I fail... I remember where the thing stopped and the next I put it on the opposite side of it. Works well enough for me. I've spoiled myself in BK cause you don't break your items.

Oh yes and...

Give me your weapon I'll enhance for you!!1!




Yes, I know I'm in Apoline. Shush.

I agree we need a place for people suffering from addiction *Wonders where the 3g went* anyway where can I sign up?

it's random
just dont be scared of it failing, if you are, that means fail, if you dont care or is not afarid of your weapon/armor breaking, then most of the time it'll be success
