My Adventure with Atlas Ores

[Derek]

So, first since I know most of you don't know what Atlas Ores are, I will explain.

Atlas Ores are an Item Mall item that players can use to power enhance equipment (make them a higher +, so that they give better stats). Now, before last Friday, the only time I ever power enhanced was with Oriharukon Stones (what Atlas Ores used to be) about 7 months ago. I am doing it now because I only need 2 more pieces of Lv121 equipment. One I can buy, the other I am planning on getting through power enhancing a Lv113 equip, than exchanging it for a Lv121 equip.

When Atlas Ores fail, you get something called "Lucky Points" which are supposed to increase the success rate, but this is debated on whether or not they actually do as intended.

Now, the thing with power enhancing, is that for 8+ months or so (including Oriharukon Stone times), there have been claims running around that their abilities have been nerfed, and their success rate is rather low. I always argue (and still will, despite my current experiences) that power enhancing is a gamble (as their success rate is percentage based), and you can literally have several successes in a row, or several failures in a row.

However, with my recent experience with Atlas, I can understand why people get so frustrated.

So far, I have spent 1.75b gold on Atlas Ores, to literally make my +6 Lv113 spear, +6.

I remember when no vip coupons were out in maple.

I changed my hair to red one one try(the color i wanted). I decided to change my style with my extra nx. It looked horrible. So i bought more and did it again. Like 3 times.

It took me like 9 cards to get ONE of the 3 hairstyles i wanted. I cried and felt stolen from. Then looked at my sexehh pixels and felt it was all okay.
