Closed Fix Upgrade Stones!
Hey Guys,
Alright another mechanic I notice we use a lot that's "broken" per say, upgrade stones. In every game I know of other than mabi, end weapon upgrades are a sure thing when you have the resources. Other than the first upgrade, all upgrades only have a 45%-50% chance of success. What this translates too is many unessecary failures, wasted stones, and wasted gold. Whether you are buying them for other players, or doing other activities to obtain them (such as ancient hunting, rabbie phant variants, or other low drop rate methods) it becomes a huge time and gold pit to get a weapon to rank 5 alone, and that doesn't even count for rank 6 (the destroy rank) or rank 7 (the kiss your weapon goodbye rank). Im offering two ways I think would be best to resolve this: 1. increase general upgrade chance from 75%-100% range, this would result in a lot less wasted stones or no waste at all. 2. Sell an item in the NX shop to protect upgrade failures between 1-5, and prevent from destruction from rank 5-6 or 6-7 (if used at this rank, the item would be consumed). In this way it would work much like an enchant protect, and I could see it selling easily at the same price 7,900NX with 1 trade limit and sell very well. [This would allow non-nx users to buy and use it and allow NX users to make gold doing so, win win for everybody]. Vote below guys or post your thoughts. Lets stay away from the "that's op" conversation as it would help everyone if either option was chosen, especially as an item with a trade unlock as it could be sold to non-NX users as well.
Sincerely,
Arch

Was making a celtic tribolt step 5 today, it ate through over 50 blue ups, ended up costing me over 5m in buying more stones etc. This did not need to happen. If I wasn't buying them, that would of been weeks of ancient hunting spat in my face. [I mean on the flip side, I have had a cylinder that once went straight to 6 from 1 with no failures using normal stones, but that's the only weapon ive had like that.] Now ill also have to wait for more protection stones to try and step 6 this tribolt. This is just an example to highlight how much we need this kind of update.
