Players may create Ancient Items with an [http://wiki.infinitymu.net/index.php/Item_Options_and_Descriptions#Excellent_Options Excellent Option] in game. These items are called in game as Semi Uber Items. The difference it has (or doesn't have) with Uber Set Items is that Uber Sets are Ancient Items with Full Options, while Semi Ubers are Ancient Items that are limited to only one Excellent Option.

'''What is a "Semi Uber"?'''

A Semi Uber is an '''Ancient Item''' that also possesses '''Excellent Options'''. They are the "Play-to-Win" alternative to Full Uber items.

This guide will give you an idea of how to create the perfect Semi Uber Item parts you want from scratch. In this example, we will turn a Guardian Helm into a Semi Uber Ahruan Guardian Helm.

There are many ways to acquire the base item. However, there are only two popular methods that are worth mentioning.

Your first goal is to get a standard **Excellent Item** with the specific option you want.

So we will acquire an Excellent Guardian Helm with Damage Decrease 4% and Luck if possible.

'''Target Item for this guide:''' Excellent Guardian Helm (with Luck).
 +
'''Recommended Option:''' Damage Decrease +4%.

*The first and the cheapest but could be a time consuming way is to drop Box of Kunduns which you can buy from [[Amy the Potion Girl]]. This could be time consuming the fact that the items given by the boxes are random and you might not get your desired Excellent Option.

*The second and one that's most preferred by the community is just buying the item off the [https://www.infinitymu.net/webshop/ Webshop]. This way, you may choose right away which Excellent Option you want. While you're at it, you might as well add Luck as this will save you the trouble later.
+
* ''Note: You can also use a [[Jewel of Excellent]] to add options to a normal item, or [[Jewel of Luck]] to add Luck.''

Also it is worth mentioning that [[Jewel of Excellent]] can be used to add a random Excellent Option to an item while [[Jewel of Luck]] adds Luck. For weapons that are eligible to have weapon skills, [[Jewel of Skill]] is it's corresponding jewel that adds skills. These are jewels that can be acquired in game by joining [https://wiki.infinitymu.net/index.php?title=Events_Schedule Hourly and Automated Events].

== Step 2: Preparation (Crucial) ==
 +
Before turning the item Ancient, you must prepare it. Follow this order to save time and resources.

You finally got the item. It should look like this for now:

There are still things that must be done in order to create that perfect Semi Uber Item. The following can be done in any order however it is best advised to just follow these steps as it's already been tested.
+
* **Success Rates:**
 +
** **50%** (Base Rate)
 +
** **75%** (If item has Luck)
  
−
*First, upgrade it to +13. Self explanatory. If you don't know how to, ask anyone in game and they would be glad to help. ''Must be done in order to unlock desired yellow option.''
+
'''Outcomes:'''
 +
* <span style="color:green">'''Success:'''</span> The item becomes a **Semi Uber Ancient**. It keeps its Excellent Options, Luck, and Harmony.
 +
* <span style="color:red">'''Failure:'''</span> The Jewel of Ancient disappears. The item remains safe.
 +
* ''Cool-down Tip:'' If you fail 2-3 times, wait 10 minutes or switch servers before trying again.
  
−
*Second, drop x7 (max) Jewel of Life onto the item. You can buy these from Amy the Potion Girl. ''This can be done later.''

'''''Disclaimer:''' This is a player-discovered theory and is not officially confirmed by Administration. Use at your own discretion.''
  
−
*Third, add your desired Harmony (Yellow Option) to the item. To do this, drop a Jewel of Harmony onto the item. You can buy Jewel of Harmony from Amy the Potion Girl. If the resulting Yellow Option isn't what you have in mind, head to Aida and look for the NPC [[Jeridon]]. Simply give him the item and he will remove the Y/O for you. ''This is a must since the only way to change yellow options once it becomes a Semi Uber Item is to spend Gold Credits in the Webshop.'' ('''New update''': You can also use [[Jewel of Extraction]] to remove yellow options, then [[Jewel of Ancient Harmony]] to add a random yellow option to a semi-uber item.)

Some players believe you can predict the success of a Jewel of Ancient by using a cheaper jewel first: the **[[Jewel of Skill]]**.

At this point, the helm is ready for the last step:

The most important item in this process is the [[Jewel of Ancient]]. Acquiring it is similar to acquiring Jewel of Excellent and Jewel of Luck.

−
To attempt turning the item into a Semi Uber, simply drop the Jewel of Ancient onto it. Do note that applying a Jewel of Ancient will not succeed 100% of the time. Base success rate is 50%, and if the item has Luck (+25%) then the success rate is 75%. If it fails after the second or the third try, wait about 10 minutes or so and try again. Also try doing it with another character, or even try switching servers. If it succeeds, the item is now a Semi Uber and should look like this:

Congratulations! The creation of Semi Uber Ahruan Guardian Helm is now complete.

−
== Myth ==
 
−
There is a myth on how to manipulate success rate however this hasn't been confirmed by the Administration.
 
−
 
 
−
Since Jewel of Excellent is considered a high end jewel, it is said that there is a way to save it instead of losing it by failing. A lower end jewel called [[Jewel of Skill]] which basically adds skills to weapon-skill-eligible weapons would tell if the next Jewel of Ancient used will succeed. Basically, if one adds a weapon skill to a random weapon by using Jewel of Skill and fails, the Jewel of Ancient will fail as well. And if it succeeds, you will have a small window of time to apply Jewel of Ancients in case you're doing multiple item/set parts and they will all succeed.

The purpose of semi uber sets are to make InfinityMU a '''play to win game''' instead pay to win. These sets are giving huge chances in PVP. Of course the best sets always remain the Full Uber Set due their defense rate and reflect damage excellent options. Every month in our events we are giving chance to everyone to win full uber set for those who cannot afford to donate to the server for an Full Uber Set. Make sure to be active in our [http://forum.infinitymu.net/forum.php forums] to get know most events and get a chance to win an Full Uber Set.

Semi Uber sets are the heart of InfinityMU's **Play-to-Win** philosophy.

    • Don't like the option? Remove it at **NPC Jerridon** (Aida) and try again.
    • IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended to get your perfect Yellow Option before the next step.
    • Fixing Mistakes: If you already made the item Ancient, you must use a Jewel of Extraction to remove the yellow option, and a Jewel of Ancient Harmony to add a new one. This is expensive!

Step 3: The Transformation

The Jewel of Ancient

The final step is applying the **Jewel of Ancient**.

Community Theory: " The Skill Glitch"

Disclaimer: This is a player-discovered theory and is not officially confirmed by Administration. Use at your own discretion.

Some players believe you can predict the success of a Jewel of Ancient by using a cheaper jewel first: the **Jewel of Skill**.

  1. Find a throw-away weapon.
  2. Apply a **Jewel of Skill**.
    • If the Skill Jewel **FAILS**: The RNG is "bad." Do not use your Jewel of Ancient.
    • If the Skill Jewel **SUCCEEDS**: The RNG is "good." Quickly apply your Jewel of Ancient to your main item.

Why Build Semi Ubers?

Semi Uber sets are the heart of InfinityMU's **Play-to-Win** philosophy. While Full Uber (Donor) sets have the advantage of "Reflect Damage" and "Defense Success" simultaneously, a well-crafted Semi Uber set allows non-donors to compete at a high level in PvP.
