How do you upgrade 9 items in ran online

1. We only upgrade during odd hours of the night.
Since we mostly play at night, we also upgrade during odd hours as well, like from 2am
onwards. I don't know the logic behind this, but I guess it's because there are a fewer
number of people playing the game during these hours and upgrading at these times as well,
so the ratio of success could probably be higher when there are fewer of you doing the
same thing at the same time.

2. We have our secret spot during upgrading.
I won't divulge where exactly though, but to give you and idea, it's somewhere in the
marketplace. The spot I'm talking about is not that well-known, and only a few people
frequent that said spot. As this spot is almost secluded, we have the luxury of doing our
drop and pick technique, which I will discuss in detail below. But of course, you never
know if someone has followed you or anything, so we advice to proceed with the technique
below in great caution.

3. Drop and Pick.
For this technique, what we normally do is that we first drop the item we are going to
upgrade to the ground, then count five seconds before picking it up. Same for the refining
item (protection potion, luxury protection potion, burr and fine burr), we drop it and
pick it up after 5 seconds. This is why it is very important that you make sure there is
no one following you, since you need to make sure no one will pick up your items for you
(hahaha). After you've picked up the refining item, you upgrade it and keep your fingers
crossed. Whether it's successful or not, we do it every time we upgrade.

4. Turn the monitor off.
Just when you are about to right-click the refining item towards your armor or weapon,
what we normally do is turn the monitor (and the speaker or we take off our headsets) off
and keep our fingers crossed. Aside from adding the element of surprise, it also works for
us, the reason behind is still something I don't know why.

5. We upgrade only in Channel 0 (the PK channel).
In a way, this is similar to tip number 2. As there are usually fewer people in the said
channel, we find that our upgrading chances are higher and usually more successful
whenever we upgrade in Channel 0 or the PK channel.

Some of our friends have informed us that there are greater chances of upgrading success
whenever there are GM initiated events like Suryuns, or even upgrading during Club Wars,
but we have yet to try it as we are usually active participants in Suryuns and Club Wars
in particular. Again and just as a reminder, these techniques I just shared are not
absolute and although they may work for us, it may not work for you. If it does, I
wouldn't mind if you shoot me an email telling me about your success (or failure). In any
case, we wish you all the best in upgrading! 1. We only upgrade during odd hours of the night.
