This sad bittersweet story goes like this (WITH EVIDENCE and a WITNESS!!)

After many many months i finally got a few stacks of red upgrade stones and 2 lucky ones from last events so i thought i was ready to try my luck with my 2 trusty CRK Swords and get them up to R5... but nothing could be further from the truth, The first sword was a pain and nothing but sorrows came from it... in the end i used both of my lucky red stones to get it up to R5.

THEN with only 7 normal red stones and no more lucky ones i started with the second sword and this happened:

My reactions when i got that R4:

    Rng is lovely sometimes. I spent over 100 stones just getting s5 on my hermit staff, once I made my own druid staff it went 1-5 no fails, then only used 1 protection stone for 6. So went straight 1-6.

    I've been really lucky overall, I can't complain. My langu crown is max roll, same with the chest and boots all made them myself too so I'm pretty proud of that.

    Meanwhile I'm sitting here with lucky stones stockpiled from a partner.
    Takes forever to get any, but skipping RNG is worth the wait. And gold.
    And I get to keep my sanity, so that's a plus.

    Now if we want to talk about RNG, my days of enchanting are enough for some laughs.
    For some reason, Enchants never work well for me whenever I try to do my own things. Pretty much the reason I'm holding off on enchants until chain slash.
    But somehow, whenever I do an enchant request for anyone...
    Even if the chance is 10-30%...
    It NEVER fails.

    Boggles my mind.

    Oh man I don't want to even think about how many times I've failed enchants. Doing my own never seems to work the first time but I have good luck with everyone else. ~Minus that one time I failed someone's foretold burn twice in a row~ I felt so bad for them

    This is just a little suspicion I have. But I believe some items are cursed. >_>

    I have tons of lucky upgrade stones because of events and partners. If anyone wants I can upgrade your weapon you just have to pay for the unlock.

    Nice! I'm gonna keep my staff and my cylinder at rank 5 for a looong time. I don't like risking it.
    RNGesus scares me..

    I've had some scary awesome luck enchanting things for friends, but I constantly fail when I try to enchant my own stuff.

    The random number gods are cruel and capricious.

    Does everyone have a "Lucky" anvil? I tend to do it in dunb, but when that one eats a ton of stones I go to my hs and if that one works I go to the one in qilla. I know it's pointless superstition, but that hasn't actually failed for me yet. The Qilla anvil is my hero for step4>5

    I remember purchasing one Luxurious Eweca Package when it came and gave my wife the Eweca Red stone of protection. We both succeeded (s7 wand for me and r7 for her knuckles) in one go.
    At dunby.

    You could say.. it was worth it.

    Something that will never happen again is witnessing a dual elemental rolled on knuckles right after she decides to go for Drop Kick with her ele3 merlins though..

    I wish I could go rank 7 but I just can't bring myself to potentially blow up 10m + cimeni anvil.

    I wish there was a different way to upgrade those things, like stack stones for better %. I've blown through 50+ stones on 1 item, but on another item, I'd go straight to level 5 with no hiccups. I also never step 6 my things, because I usually can't afford to make another if it gets nuked. I was quitting Mari and moving to Alexina, so I decided to step 6 my celtic royal warrior hammer for teh lulz, and it succeeded, of course.
