Best Practices
Optimizing Success Rates
Optimizing Success Rates
To maximize your chances of successful enhancement:
- Use the highest tier crafting hammer available (Item 102075 for +10%)
- Contribute 500,000,000 fortune money for the maximum +5% bonus
- Plan enhancements during events if your server offers rate bonuses
- Consider the base rate for your current enhancement level
Economy Considerations
Economy Considerations
Server administrators should consider:
- The default fortune money value affects the in-game economy
- Higher requirements = stronger gold sink
- Lower requirements = more accessible enhancements
- Balance fortune money costs with overall server economy
Item Configuration
Item Configuration
When configuring items:
- Ensure ReqVg values are divisible by the intended bonus percentage
