Any Advice on Succeeding?

[BreadNoCake]

Okay, so I love doing alchemy on Gaia, but when I try completing a formula with the chance of Very Low, it's really a bother clicking complete and craft over AND OVER when I just get #$%! or something I've been trying to complete this one formula for over 30 minutes now. Any advice to help me get a greater chance of succeeding?

nothing can increase a low chance except being higher level than what you are making.

Gain a level?
Seriously, the only proven way of improving your chances with success rates is to be a higher level alchemist than the level of the formula.

That said, if you keep failing over and over and (the important point) are NOT losing the crafting cost, then it's a glitch and you should contact Gaia staff.

There's also people who've had trouble crafting tons of the same formula in a row (example: Orb Aggregate) and they say that switching screens and doing something else will help when those stop working.

When this happens to me, I usually give it a break for a while, refresh, go do something else… and then when I come back it works in just a few tries. >> Alchemy can be such a troll.

^^ I was going to give this advice.~ ^^ Wait. Do other stuff, don't sit on that page. Go back to it later.

Dunno if I was just lucky, but with some formulas all I had to do was wait a little when the window that says CRAFT pops up. I was able to craft like 4 or 5 "very low" items in a row in a single try. Like I said, I don't know if I was just extremely lucky, since sometimes I do wait and the thing blows up anyway, but I've noticed that doing things slowly and not franticly clicking Craft over and over helps.
