melding is luck cant add balance to that. your a craftsman trying to make a perfect item but hey you mess up then you have to reso it. people want all this gil sink stuff but refuse to take them. well something has to suck up your gil. people also cry about spending gil but they post about how rich they are and how easy it is to make millions a day, hmmmm.
