Thread: 2.16 will change Quick Synthesis

It seems like Quick Synthesis has a built-in 5%(?) fail rate, regardless of your gear. Maybe it is just a penalty for using quick synthesis in general.

But, I still feel like the fail rate is too high.

As a level 50 Culinarian, I should not be failing an synths in the 1-30~40 level range, especially with full HQ gear (don't have materia melds yet). If I spent the time to do it manually and would never fail, I should never fail at quick synth either.

Truthfully it's nearly impossible to fail any synth, be it -30 levels of +10 levels if all you were trying to do is NQ synth it. Even with mediocre just-there gear it's not exactly hard to 100% NQ a 2 star synth just by spamming careful synthesis and MAYBE a single repair if your gear is really really behind. Quick Synth's inbuilt failure would make sense if they stuck with the XI system of crafting where everything has a guaranteed 5% failure no matter what, but they didn't, so yeah.

People only fail because of failed risk analysis, if they want to quick synth a crapload of NQ items just let them do it, they're already taking a loss by virtue of the fact that it's a damn NQ.
