  Enchants = pretty much guaranteed form of improvement, so long as your luck isn't so abysmal that you break the enchant scroll
  Reforges = gambling with extremely high chances of being trolled

  60% chance of losing 12 max dur, sure, okay.

  They are both luck based forms of enhancement. While the rate of reforging may be lower (but honestly if you just buy pre-rank 1 equips I would venture to say that in certain cases reforging CAN be less expensive than enchanting), it's not to say enchants are a guaranteed form of enhancement. It's very possible to get "abysmal" and good luck with both features of the game. Even if your coveted low % to pass enchant lands on your equip, it is still luck based, and NOT a guaranteed form of enhancement -- Much like reforges, there are still rolls on enchants. It's very possible, just like reforges, to have nothing good from enchants. Not to mention they can do stuff like entirely blow up your equips whereas reforges can not. I've spent more on some enchants than I have on reforges, and all of my equips were not pre rank 1.

  The thing is, Enchants is a feature where Risk = Benefits, (may even be Risk > Benefits). This is why if someone wants to enchant something, he or she has guts to do so.
  
  You lose dura or have the item destroyed if you fail, but you can apply some very nice effects to your equipment if you are fully aware of that risk.
  
  Reforging, on the other hand, does not have any risks. While you do "risk" low rolls, I don't consider that a "risk" because it's not "worse" than the "status quo", which is just having an unreforged weapon.
  
  Simply put, Reforging: Risks <<<< Benefits
  Enchant Risks = Benefits
  
  This is why people complain about Reforging (since it makes the game Pay2Win), but not about Enchants (of course, except for the ones who keep failing it o3o)

  Life skill Stats
  I would love for the life skills to fulfill their purpose as a trade for a player to make money instead of just adding on to a character's stats. This however, can only be done if some of the missing DEX were relocated into Archery and Puppetry skills and if life skills have higher production qualities than NPC and gacha equipment and have larger gathering bonuses.

  Are you sure enchants aren't as "risky" as reforges?
  
  You can spend millions of gold on reforges and not get anything for your skillset. (Yeah, some people have spent 100m+ to reforge one item.)
  For most end-game enchants, you must use enchant protection pots which are expensive per try. (Given that you're not blowing cheap items up, but rather good already-reforged gear.) And let's not forget about ancient magic powder costs.
  If you fail 10 times (which by the way, isn't unheard of for r5+ enchants), that's already about 80k NX. And this would just be for one protected item.
  
  Oh yeah, and let's not forget about enchants with large gap rolls, much like reforge rolls.
  
  You can get lucky with reforges OR enchants, and likewise for failing.
  
  Risk and benefit does not really play so well here, it's more about RNG.
  
  Lucky = Cheap benefit
  Unlucky = Expensive benefit
  
  I don't really see how your logic is working here.[/FONT]

  At this point, I'd just skip the enchant for the 12 or whatever amount of max damage it gives and slap elemental on a weapon for +33~55% damage.

  Gachapons that give you food and flashy hoes.
  
  I wouldn't mind buying gachas to test my luck (not to mention I loved buying Pokemon gachas back in the day) but I feel gachas can give more valuable items compared to what you buy for 1,500 nx.

  It's too hard to reduce it to just one.

  2. Nimbus
  3. Scooters
