Enhancing Strategy

• Gotejjeken wrote on 2010-10-16 19:08
  What is a good strategy for enhancing your items? As it stands, you can't sell them once they are enhanced, and this causes a bit of a problem.
  
  Take Fiona's Eagle Heart for instance. It's a really good shield, however you cannot craft it (that I know of) and that adds potentially a lot of demand for it, especially considering what you have to go through to get it.
  
  I have a ton of enhancement stones piling up at this point, and I am afraid to use them, as once I do I have to NPC the weapon for a horridly low price. Is it only worth it to enhance craftable items then? That way you can just sell off the excess materials to make up for the cost of selling the weapon itself?

  I think a NX item called "Exchange Coupon" temporarily removes the untradable tag. Not available now but will be later.

  As of now, no.
  
  +0 - +3 = 100% success, 2 stones
  +3 - +5 = Failure possible, results in loss of 1 enhancement level, 3 stones
  +5 - +? = Failure possible, results in reseting item to default, 4 stones and Enhancement Elixir
  
  As of now, +5 is the highest we can go due to the lack of Elixirs.
  Enhancing also removes all deterioration.

  Well let me do this for you, dunno if this is accurate, so take it with a grain of salt:
  
  +1 - 100% success; small increase
  +2 - 100% success; small increase
  +3 - 100% success; small increase
  +4 - If item fails, you will go back to +3; medium increase
  +5 - If item fails, you will go back to +4; medium increase
  +6 - If item fails, you will go back to +5; Requires Enhancement Potion Item; Large Increase, Pure damage boost* [Not Available in NA]
  +7 - If item fails, you will go back to +6; Requires Enhancement Potion Item; Large Increase, Pure damage boost* [Not Available in NA]
  +8 - If item fails, item will be destroyed**; Requires Enhancement Potion Item; Massive Increase, Pure damage boost, stat boost*** [Not Available in NA]
  +9 - If item fails, item will be destroyed**; Requires Enhancement Potion Item; Massive Increase, Pure damage boost, stat boost*** [Not Available for NA]
  +10 - If item fails, item will be destroyed**; Requires Enhancement Potion Item; Overpowering Increase, Pure damge boost, stat boost*** [Not Available for NA]
  [SIZE="1"](Note, there is a chance for great failures such as +6 going to +4 or even going to +0, this only applies to +4 and above)[/SIZE]
  
  [SIZE="1"]*Pure damage boost means it is a pure increase in damage and is APPLIED to every attack you do, including normal attack.
  **Item will be destroyed, but while using the NX item "Strengthening Rune (Not Available in NA)" you can negate the failure and your item won't be destroyed.
  ***Stat boost may also increase stat not particularly part of the original item, such as will, int, etc. Stat boost may also apply to weapon speed and skill cool downs. Some weapons gain some stats at +6 and above.[/SIZE]

  Yes, on my +5 Hammer, when you put it in to see the stats of +6 Bone Hammer, it shows +10 Attack Speed.

  You sure it happened? I never witness it before happening and you only get the message it down grades when you attempt a +4

  1-3 doesn't fail.
  
  This is what it looks like when it fails:

  What, I thought it was agreed that going on to +6 required an Enhancement Elixir? Sexy hammer, btw.

  That's just a preview of the hammer after the enhancement.
