What is the trick to refining plus S?

I just wanted to do this by myself once.

I've gotten to A... but cannot get to S. Any tips?

 

I alternate between different ores
Hema and damascus

Also many people I know have said they did dummy refine (refine some other crap) until it degrades
Then they go back to refining the gear

 

I'd say it's a mere real life luck.

 

Actually refining in a really quiet place helps (at least for me).

 

Gather good karma

 

Watch porn first! XD

 

Use all the placebo you can think of. Just for the peace of mind if nothing else.

When refining:
*I do it in my land. If it fails too much, I go to the most populated place in Sofya and do it there. Shifting between the 2 whenever I get unlucky.

*Alternate between 2 different equipment every try

*Stops refining and comes back later if it keeps failing too much.

*Also throwing expletives loudly in the real world whenever I fail seems to work XD.

 

i worked for me.

 

No- thing~~

 

Show some will power

 

This is only making my suspicions even stronger that refining is a rigged and fixed process

 

so i just refined my knuck back to A
and my dummy items (integredor and potum staff) to A

now im afraid to try for S lmaoooo

but what i ended up doing was

1. dummy refine other item until degrade.
2. alternate between dama and hema

i noticed once i did the dama and hema switch on my luk refine, the item degraded extremely rarely. in fact thats how i got my items to A

i tried on my lil empress knuck and after a stack of andeg. finally degraded.

im going to sell my +A knucks for cheap to get my money back and do more refine tests.

i have theory that untradeable has better chance of upgrading and smaller chance of degrading.

stats are 151 base dmg, 7atk 7agi 16 aspd 16 cr. no slot.
selling for 11m if anyone wanna buy.

 

Nothing but pure luck really. Chance is 1%. I could do it in crowdy int 1 Sofya, I could also do it on quiet land. Nothin really matters.

 

so here i am planning to give you some grain of salt as of today that i'm able to get to +S from +B using that trick (boss drop item no slot)

 

@ugliest pray for aso to release tier4 refine fast, so refining would be easier. ^_^

 

and then they release new refine to +SS and +SSS with 0,1% chance success

 

S is still 1% even with those sadly ._.)
At least A will be a tiny bit easier

 

that's the way, bring in the theories and rituals!!! ↜(۳｀∇´)۳

 

Nah, they'd have to change how refine works for that to be possible. +A would actually become 0.something % even with a full tech character if they did that LoL.
