Do Enhancement Scrolls stop working?

After successfully enhancing my bow 10 times, I just used 30 protection scrolls with 30 normal Enhancement Scrolls and they ALL failed.

Do Enhancement Scrolls stop working after around 10 enhances or what? That's definitely NOT 10% chance...

[quote=darkspawn980]and that has... what to do with what he said? advanced ones would be 10% at the 10->11 star, not 5%, unlike regular EE's, which is what he said.

so i ask again, what did he say wrong?

you shouldn't have been quoted though, since what you said is correct. but that doesn't make his statement incorrect.[/quote]

But he DID quote me. Hence he was calling attention to my statement and implying it was wrong. Since he didn't say why, I inferred from his post that the most likely reason he thought it was wrong was because he thought it was about advanced enhancements. Also, I clearly said I was talking about regular scrolls. He didn't mention advanced anywhere in his post although as you said, he isn't incorrect.

Also, please note nowhere in my post did I say he was wrong. (I was going to tell you to work on yours too, but since you didn't start name calling I'll take it as an honest mistake.)

The highest you can go is 12 Enhancements. As the first poster of this thread said, it' a 10% chance, so you rather just got unlucky on the attempt.

I made 1/1 50% work, definitely not a 50% chance.

10% change means that there is a 10% change that the scroll succeeds so
it could be that u use over ten million scrolls and still fail

Yeah nexon should lighten up on the 10% success, I've failed 14/15 20% scrolls in a row, i call BS, it feels like a 5%-10%. Also they should show how much u failed the scroll by, like clicking something and in order to pass a 10% scroll u have to get a number higher then 90.

After the 10th star, what the heck's the point besides wasting money?

[quote=Jack096]are you american? Im just curious ( NOT BEING RACIST HERE) because i see this sort of question pops up a lot, but do they teach probability in the american education system? because i know they dont do it everywhere, but they do it in australia and in the first lesson it OUTLINES that 50% chance is not equal to a coin flipped 100 times, 50 heads, 50 tails... its simply an independant occurence, one scroll isnt going to effec the next one's outcome... if you fail 9 10%'s the god of probabilty isnt going to make the next one pass just to even things out.[/quote]
I don't think you need an education for this. I think its called common sense. Probably 1st grade math.

To all of those who have never used enhancement scrolls after the 10th star, please don't comment about probability. Honestly, it does seem a little rigged because it seems that almost everyone has a hard time landing a EE after the 10th star.

Probability in Maple is more unbiased than normal IMO

10% each time. You aren't guaranteed to get 1/10 to work every time.

9+ is 5% chance. Nexon didn't update the descriptions on the regular scrolls, but you can see them if you get the untradable versions.

[quote=chikvn]I failed 6/7 scroll 60% in a row with 9% bonus from dilligence.
Also failed 2 AEE 90%, 2 or 3 advance potential scroll 90%, failed x3 70% skill books in a row too.
Yeah, sometime Lady luck is a biatch[/quote]

I read somewhere in the forum that the bonus doesn't apply to special scrolls (which includes EE's).

happens to 1 in 23,6 people or 4,24% according to maths, so your luck isnt even that bad.

I always love threads crying about horrible luck. It happens to all of us, sorry man. lol.

[quote=Dulcineaux]It is 10% chance. Nowhere does the scroll say that it's guaranteed to work 1 out of every 10 times. Why doesn't anybody ever factor their luck into this?

Because it's hard to believe it's a 10% chance when 0/37 scrolls work.
