Hello everybody,
I would just like to tell you about my today's experience trying to upgrade PvP gear. Today was the upgrade chance supposed to be 50% higher. I started with a weapon +6 and had 100k gold for upgrading (that's a lot for me as I don't play much PvE and only started with TERA again a few weeks ago). Also I farmed upgrading materials in over 80 games of CS in the last few weeks.
1st upgrade try: +7, 2nd try: +8, then server crash. After that, it was like the higher upgrade chance didn't survive the crash. 3rd try: again +7, 4th try: damaged, 5th try: down to +6 and then I spent the remaining gold and it didn't even go up to +7 anymore. Every try was either a fail or even damaged. A few weeks of farming were pointless and that with +50% upgrade chance (allegedly). I won't try anymore now, PvP with personal gear is done for me. If I can't even upgrade one piece of equipment during a +50% event, it's just a massive waste of time trying to. I should have spent the 100k gold in skill advancements. That way, I would at least had a benefit in CS.
Regards
