in 5 years playing in the iRO I never had an item that gave so much trouble to refine, there have already been 27 attempts to get the +10 on the abusive robe and it insists on staying at +9 using BsB.

someone is going through this wave of bad luck?

in fact I do not have what to do, my zeny is gone and all the items I have are the ones I'm using.
I'd have to drop something to sell, but the time is short these days.

Some items are seemingly cursed XD I had a Valk Knife that refused to +9. Spent easily over 300 Enriched Ores during event and it wouldn't budge. Yet, when I tried other stuff the same moment or day, they would +9 easily.

I swear my excelion shield was cursed during the monster token event it took me close to 30 tries, also i had a +9 robot arm that never got to +10 after many attempts so i just shrugged and sold it

 

As a rule  of thumb i try to avoid +10 stuff i just rather save some money and buy the item instead of dealing with RNG

it was usually 6 ~ 8 attempts to refine to +10 using BsB, but this time the blessed hammer seems to be in a bad mood.

A lot of people assume that Generous Hammer gives higher rates because the keyword "event" was added after Generous Hammer. He basically provide a no cost upgrade, but rates remain the same without the "event" Better to wait for Enriched or Mad Bunny which provide better rates.

Have a friend who used up around 45+ attempts just to +10 a ribbon.

But atleast he used monster tokens and not spending lots of zeny on bsb.

And yet people still whined on the forums that that event wasn't helpful or worth it lol

Edit: Speaking of monster token event, if you check the May calendar on the latest FAQ thread, it's mentioned there, same day as Illusion of Frozen.

very interesting, I really liked the monster token event, I could not fully enjoy the event but even so I still refined several items.
the only problem is having to wait more than 1 month to refine and use the abusive robe, but knowing that the event is coming back is something that pleases me a lot.

I had good luck when Token Hammer arrived, it was probably one of the best events for me.
I was able to upgrade the following equipment successfully: (+10) (1 ~ 15 attempts Ea.)
x2 Bow of Storm, x2 Flattery Robe, x1 KoSC
x1 CloakOfSurvival, x1 Surv. Circlet, x2 FAW
x1 ImperialSpear, x1 PileBunkerS, x1 EtranUndershirt
x1 ImmuneShield, x1 MadBunny, x1 Work Cap
x1 Tornado Axe, and maybe a few more, I do not remember.

The majority required few attempts, only 1 bow of storm and 1 Cloak of Survival required approximately 15, I think it is only RNG, although I must admit that sometimes I had problems upgrading equips to +9, few, but yes, that's why I think some specific equips are "Cursed".

RNG happens in an unexpected way, just like on this dude retro game speed run.(PS1 FF8)

Even the missed attack can only happen by 0.007%, it all happen straight 12times until he died on this game. 

 

Imaging 99.993% hit chances failed  :heh: he rage quit in the end.

You are lucky. The token hammer event made me so mad...the rules and restrictions were utterly pointless and it made the event hellish. Honestly I wish I had not wasted m time trying to hunt and farm for those tokens, now i cant get rid of them lol...

 Yah that is what sucks about speed running, especially for an rpg, you just sacrifice not only the obvious enjoyment of sensational classic games, but your characters are too weak. Rng or not, that vid was funny. Final Fantasy 7, not 8 btw. ^^
