Chaos in the Chaos Machine

I lost too many jewels of bless and souls today trying to upgrade my Gaion Boots to +13 in the Chaos Machine. I managed to upgrade two boots to +12 but unfortunately, they all broke before reaching +13. Now I have to content myself to +9 until I have enough back-ups again.

Item upgrading is really simple but it takes a lot of luck (not the attribute) because you could only have as much as 45% (or 75% if the item has Luck attribute) probability of success in the chaos machine. The formula (i.e. how many blesses and souls are required for each upgrade level) has been laid out in the Forsaken Mu guide so you’ll know how frustrating it is to just have it broken on the final upgrade.

What you see in the image above is an attempt to upgrade my Gaion Storm Crow Armor to +12. With a Jewel of Chaos (gold), 3 Jewels of Bless (blue) and 3 Jewels of Soul (pink), my current Gaion Storm Crow Armor +11 had 45% chances of upgrading to +12 in the Chaos Machine.
