Halloween Madness Carnival [Phase 3]

[Malaphar]

It's all about luck tbh, when I first tested it, I actually didn't fail once in upgrading 1-10. When i tried a second time, i keep on failing to reach 10. But the rate is correct, it's just really bad luck, if you keep on getting downgrade.

.@downgrade = rand(1,2);
if (.@downgrade == 1) {
if (getequipid(9) >= 26488 && getequipid(9) <= 26503) {
setrandomoption(9,0,224,.@lose,0);
query_sql("UPDATE inventory SET option_id0 = '224', option_val0 = '"+.@fail+"' WHERE char_id = '"+getcharid(0)+"' AND equip ='2'");
}
mes "Sadly, it also got dowgraded..";
mes "What a mess..";
}
if (.@downgrade == 2) {
mes "At least, it didn't get dowgraded..";
mes "You are still pretty lucky i think..";
}
close;
}

I know that many don't understand the script but it's basically like this. When you failed, you random number 1-2.  If you get 1 then your equipment get downgraded. If you get 2 then it doesn't downgrade. That's why it's 50/50 chance. In fact there are some who already have their weapon upgraded to 10. They probably never failed. I'd say although it's temporary it's a very worthwhile investment, especially if you can get it this early. Still it's optional and those who get them to 10 should at least felt proud about their lucks, and it's still a considerable achievement that many might not get or bother because of the cost.

I do understand the script, but its either my account is astronomically unlucky or something is not working correct, been through enough flowers to upgrade 4 weps to +10 with a fail or 2 and still +7 and it still is a pretty hard thing to keep saving for event gears AND upgrade which upgrade is pretty much NEEDED to even remotely keep up on race so the downgrade kills people that even want to try to top 10 any time during event
