How to succeed in enchanting/enhancing

I can barely get to +7 without getting something like..90 durability after not playing for a year

if you get to +7 or +8 without runes and without destroying your dura or the weapon itself, your soooo effin lucky. and as for enchanting, its all luck of the draw, i enchanted 5 times successfully in a row today, but then failed like 8 in a row, blew my spears and meh boots...........epic rage.

Liar, you got to +15.

Funny thing is I had the same thing happen to me when I came back after playing the game known as Life...
Sadly the success rate still follows the same rules as normal. Just the vindi gods smiling on us and trying to lure us into playing more.
Or Fergus is a masochist and wants to fool you into attempting a +10 ++.

i broke 3 +10 ivory spears i only enhance saturday and fridays u wont catch me enhanceing any other day lol

blew up my +11 twinkling mael BTTS yesterday i dont bot so i cant even afford new +0 clean ones :/ oh well my +10 Dwalkers work for now. way to afraid to try and +11 those. i only enhance in the morning because thats when i have the most luck

i went from a just crafted +0-12 in 30 minutes on an ornate Bloodlust shining clap,133dura. so i doubt the timing you do it in really matters :/ btw i broke that sh*t like it was hot ten minutes later XD

come on ure luck cant be that bad....i +12'd 3 dark hammer peices with no breaks and only 2 failures...

I got a +16 . o:

Nuke Ferghus, yes. XD
Eventually he'll give you a +8...........or you'll end up with the bunch of 0 duras (which is actually less likely)
