What the stat that affect melding?

topic.....

There isn't a stat for melding.

The rate on melding is based on the tier of the materia, the stat on that particular materia, the order it is melded in and whether the item is +1 or not.

Edit: And the level of the item

so it not make any different whether i meld nekid or fully gear?

none at all~

Just make sure you do the lower stat materia first when you double meld, it'll significantly give you better chance of a double meld as opposed to going highest to lowest.

And good luck :)

I *THINK* but I could be wrong, that your personal level will also affect the chance?

that would mean stats like craft/m.craft affect it?

Nothing to do with your level as far as I can tell.
The only thing your actual level has to do with melding is whether or not you can meld a particular piece of gear in the first place.

The stat is called Probablity. It's increased by raising your characters "Luck" attribute.









(There isn't one.)

So let's say I got myself a level 18 Goldsmith, just high enough to enable myself to meld, theoretically I can now meld any piece of materia to any level of Goldsmith type items? Or is there more involved? Sorry new to crafting, this was here and I was curious. ^^;

If you examine a piece of gear it'll say repair goldsmith (Level 10~) or something like that, I can't remember lol
But by that it'll say Melding- then it'll show the level required and the class to meld it.

level 0-30 gear - tier I materia can be melded
level 31-40 Tier II materia can be melded
Level 41-50 Tier III & IV materias can be melded

Edit: Please note that some gear can not be melded with materia

i did some testing with this a while back never got anyone else to confirm it tho but maybe u can be the person to confirm it for me.

When i was on my 50 carp i have something like 28.5% on a meld i put on my vit's rings and it went up to 30%, took them of went back to 28.5% i think if this is working for other people melding all depends on the base stat of the crafter AKA Carp = VIT

Unless Int/Vit aren't the main stats for a leather worker Or I'm not stacking enough; stats do absolutely nothing to your melding rate.

I would agree but since every stat effects quality 0.1% it might be the same for melding and stacking 30 str might only give 3% on a 20% success thats not even 1% and might not see a different

I thought this might be the case, my stats aren't stacked high enough to warrant a difference in the melding rates if this theory should be true.

They definitely don't effect chance. I have melded just as many things naked, as I have with gear (including stat rings & T4 stat melded to craft gear), and there has been no visible difference regarding both percentages or general success.
