I'm sure they can put 20 minutes into balancing a formula to keep the current status as is with normal lvl proper gear and give a small boost to the people with materia/HQ gear, and a larger bonus to the people who have full forbiden HQ'd sets for crafting.

10 minute formula I came up with.

take current % numbers and add modifier's A and B:

Main hand stat(vit/str/dex/mnd/etc) for modifier A:
0-200: .8
201-250: .9
251-300: 1.0
301-350: 1.1
351+: 1.2

Sum of ( Control + Craftsmanship + magic.Craftsmanship) for modifier B:
0-200: .8
201-210: .9
211-220: 1.0
221-230: 1.1
231+: 1.2

ex: Weaver with 325-DEX and a sum of 235(control/crafts/m.crafts) doing a forbid with 20% success with new system would be: .2 * 1.1 * 1.2 => .264 or 26.4%

Since i'm sure I'll get nit picked over the #'s listed I did these at work from memory I would obviously put on proper gear and take a basic look at the stats etc on each job then do some quick melds to figure out proper #'s so that it is balanced.

or the people who did not re read the op after it was edited, funny how people resort to bashing when they've got no argument left.

It wasn't part of the OP, it was several posts down. Not sure if trolling, or just stupid.

have have melded a grade 3 and now are trying a grade 4 you have no gear on at this point and the % is 18 success. With you super gear what do you think the % should be?

Well besides that fact that 18% trying to attach a 4th materia is highly exaggerated (unless your going for gamblers crown and even then you're doing it wrong) and you fail to specify what 'super gear' is to you I don't think it should exceed 25%.

wow, you come into a thread and don't like someones opinion(who has not insulted anyone in anyway i might add) and start flaming them. what a unique approach to the FF forums.

you troll my thread then demand exact figures on an example you want without providing the gear stats so that I can run my sample formula on then complain that ppl are calling you out for trolling?

Back on topic: if you have a current 18% meld the absolute best you could do is improve it to:

.18 * 1.2 * 1.2 = .2592

OR 25.92%

and i'm assuming by "Super gear" you mean that the crafter has hit both of my top materia bonus's for modifiers A and B.

*this is only an example formula that took me less then 10 minutes to devise, i'm sure a developer can do a better more balanced job then I did but should be enough to get my point across.
