Yes. I was spending upwards of 2 million gil melding each of my Artisan Offhands back in 2.5 or whenever it was. 20+ failures for the last meld was quite common.
How many melds are already on it, though? If there's already 4 then yeah that last one's always a doozy.
i remember melding for a random once failed 4 times on the 4th meld and got the last 1 1st attempt he was stoked.. made me laugh how he got so excited over somethin pretty small lol
Eh, my record is 89 fails on a 12% i think, was the 4th slot on an offhand
Something similar to this 28 fails... on the second meld... With control IV materia..
Get on my level p.p
I lost count at around 110 failed melds on a 5th slot in a tank accessory (bracelet, I think. Tried a lot more, just can't remember when I actually stopped) back in 2.5 and never succeeded. Punishment for fully melded the earrings a week or two earlier in 9 materia...
I kid you not I JUST got through failing some 130+ SpS 3 materias on the fifth slot of my Eikon Ring, I didn't even get it in bc I gave up and logged out lol
Luckily it was only 500k bc those materias don't cost two arms and a leg, but seriously ONE HUNDRED THIRTY 7% Success Fails in a row.....I will be crying myself to sleep tonight.
I was melding the 220 Caster chest and I probably used some 30 to 40 Crit IV's and at least 25 Det IVs. I still haven't gotten that Det IV melded to the last slot.
It took me like 95 attempets to get that Craftmanship IV into the last slot of my earring yesterday... 6%, I pretty much camped the spawn location for the carbonized matter because I didnt had that much in stock...
Yes, it took me the entire market board of crafting materia and then some more to get the last materia slot in my artisans gear melded when it came out. Single handly inflated the price of that materia by a good 5x for quite a while.
It's even worse when you actually spend days and sometimes weeks spiritbonding at Urth's Gift, only to watch as dozens of crafting materia break in less than ten minutes. It's soul-crushing.
I just got back into crafting recently and was trying to decide whether to get red scrip tools and gear or craft them myself...until I saw that crafting IV materia was 100,000 gil a piece on my server. Red scrips it is!
On the opposite end, I once pentamelded kirimu gloves of casting and and succeeded on the first attempt for all five melds, even the last one that was 9%. I was in shock. I had a whole pile of materia ready and everything, but I was happy to put it back in storage.
I once lost the Nightmare pony... to a 2.
We were the only two people who rolled.
I consider that my worst luck moment. orz
One day the stupid thing will drop again.
a lot of times the first overmelded slot takes me like 10+ tries with IV materias and then the next one will succeed on the first try.
I see you guys are not performing the daily ritual of slaying killing a chicken with the ceremonial dagger and letting the blood drip upon your system at the time of 1:11am as you meld.
On the serious note, I usually stop melding or trying after the 3rd, figure its good enough then. Did lose the Bird mount with a 93, I rarely ever roll that high. :(
