Is this enchanting advantage normal?

edited June 2016 in TERA PC - General Discussion
I used a lot of masterwork alkahest and feestock but the enchanting is not going up, it's stuck at lvl 10.
Is this normal? It's only bad luck?... Or a game mistake?
Help please, My weapon has 17.71% of advantage.
My weapon.

    it's just bad luck. Stop using MWA and use extensive/premium alks and it'll be a lot better

    It is usual for some. Some even gone up to 25% and beyond so you are not the only one with bad RNG rolls.

    It's random, there isn't really a normal range as it varies from person to person. You can use extensive/premium in place of mwa, but you could still be just as unfortunate at times.

    jesus christ... men why?, just why? how many times a lightning hits you per day?

    enchant your things alone, in a place with truly low population, use more alkahest like premiun, extensive and the masterwork alkahest at same time, don't use the auto enchant button. men if i show you my 2 slaughter +12 weapons you would cry. (my lancer have the lowest invesion)

    mwa is trash now tbh. ur likely to spend more gold on it than using slightly more expensive extensive or premium alks.

    On mid-tier gear, yes that is unfortunately common (I've seen upwards of 100 fails on masterworking and burned through many thousands of FS enchanting some gear; I've seen numbers higher than 17% before). I don't know about the whole dismantling argument though - yes sometimes some gear enchants easier than others, but I'm not sure if RNG is tied to the gear itself or just your own bad luck at the time.

    @Izumisun 2688 Feed? No shet It's broken. That's ur #1 Sign. Just Dismantle it and ditch it. It happened to me with my Reaper scythes. Until i got another weapon and enchanted again Cost me less than 800 feed T9. Some coding on weapons are just Imbalanced. I woudn't be happy keeping that weapon and telling people just how much it took you to enchant not Exactly something to brag about sadly.

    or you could stop being one of those conspiracy theorists and accept that rng is rng.

    Hello there-

    One i would definitely say broken, since I was able to enchant to +12 with 1% bonus perk with about ~1500 feedstock and alkahest equivalent. seeing that you used over 2.5k of feedstock tells me there's something wrong, but...

    Two i would also say that you have bad luck mate. i'm also assuming that you are new to the game without much perks from the TERA Rewards System -provides 3% additional enchantment bonus- and don't know too much about the Alliance system. Let me suggest you to try getting some ranked to echelon (one time only) and try using the Bronze Enchanter to help with that. you can also wait for the weekend to try out the Gold Enchanter- this is something that the Exarch (Player in charge of alliance for one week) can purchase via accumulated alliance points. it tends to be activated during the weekend and it lasts only for an hour so try to get word of when the Exarch will activate it via Alliance Chat.

    All in all, RNG is RNG and... the game tends to make it quite debilitating for some players.

    Best of luck,

    You can hit 20% enchantment advantage and still fail. Been there, done that.
  • msoltysplmsoltyspl ✭✭✭
    Well enchanting == brainless waste of your gold/resources with one-arm-bandit machine, with no alternative mechanice because [filtered] you playerbase.

    And as with pure RNG, there will be outliers - some on the lucky side, some others not so much.
  • gunnerysgt1gunnerysgt1 ✭✭
    Hmm well I used 3300 something feed on the conflate weapon for +12, and 3360 feed on slaughter to +11, then I dismantled it. Conflate armor/gloves took 1400-ish feed and boots 1008 to +12...
  • WolfitoWolfito ✭
    As many already stated, 18% is normal, move on kamizuma already gave the golden tip
  • cheekibreekicheekibreeki ✭✭✭
    Change channels, switch to a different piece of gear if you can. Was struggling on one piece then switched to another and it popped on the first try.

    No, the piece of gear isn't "broken." Just bad luck at that particular time on that particular item.
