Thank you for melding!

I had a happy moment today.

A friend of mine, Binc Lorik, just did me a favour by attempting to double-meld a Sarnga with Heaven's Eye materia IV for me with materials I provided.

He succeeded. First try. That sort of luck doesn't happen that often.

I offered some extra gil as thanks. He declined it and refused to give me back my completed Sarnga until I refused to pay him. :)



I wanted to take this opportunity to not just thank Binc, but also to throw a huge thank you out there to everyone who has helped their friends and/or Linkshell members with materia melding. Be it for the relic quest or otherwise, it is you guys that support the players who have not been able to invest as much time into crafting, or have simply not been playing the game for as long.

This stands in stark contrast to the "elitist" perspective many people will have about the typical "hardcore" player who locks themself away with their tight little static group and refuses to associate with anyone who has less than 4 relics.

Thank you for helping break that attitude. Thank you for being a part of the wider community.

wat
I always do that

The feeling mutuals
I raise my count on number of successful meld
The other party got their gear melded
Everyone happy

Such a nice post ^^ Congratulations on your double meld.

Congrats.

Haven't really seen this kind of behavior, most of the time its just players in linkshells with strict rules that doesn't allow players to have more than one linkshell.

Hopefully in 2.0 Free companies will do away with the linkshell cliques. Linkshells will be a great way for players to keep in touch instead without being so restricted.

I tried once, it blew up ;_; +1 weapon base relic too XD.

Congrats on the weapon though ^_^~!

grats on the meld.

honestly most people i know that craft will do this for others. i know some that charge for crafts, but normally it's the minimum of returning the shard costs for a craft or if they don't have all the materials just however much it costs to purchase the materials for them.

i know i started crafting to be able to help others and am always glad to craft stuff for others when i am available. the same goes for melding items although i don't like doing those for others unless it's the first melds. i just don't like a stupid rng telling me i didn't help someone when no matter what i do i can't increase the chance in helping. i hate the feeling i get when i blow up a meld even though it's none of my fault because i feel like i let them down. i still do it, but will always put the % chance up in say and let them tell me go for it or not because it's just a helpless feeling.

I guess I'm thinking of the perspective that doesn't really align with reality. I... had this perspective for a while when I started playing. It took good and nice stuff like this to properly smack it out of me.

Grats on double meld but yeah like others said i never see anyone refusing to double meld and only willing to double meld for their static.

=p gratz thal :X. personally for me, i advise ppl to ask someone else to meld. cause i blew up 95% of everyone meld lol.

Knowing Tanaka you weren't facing the right direction at the right time in accordance to race and moon. :P

Shhh you ruin my funny FFXI joke >.> Though I bet Tanaka had a schedule of what to add later - so some of what was added post-Tanaka will probably still have a Tanaka stamp.

Let's get real here, you made this thread for no reason other than to attempt to brag at going 1/1 on the meld.

Nobody cares, moving on.

Grats on your meld, I usually get people in my LS to do my double melds partly because I don't craft, but mainly so I have someone to blame when it blows up :p
