Overmeld Success Rate and Craftsmanship

[Johnist]

Hello everyone. Today I'd like to talk about an idea I have had for a while in which the Overmeld Success Ratio should be affected by your Craftsmanship, thus allowing a person with Extremely High Craftsmanship to have a much better chance of overmelding than a person who has not put the time and effort into making the gear they need/want.

What do you think? Would it not give a person more of a reason to use their 'Class Gear' Overmeld instead of a Patrician's Set Overmeld?

I like this idea. I hate how many fails I get on those.

Sorry Johnist but this is completely not needed now. Just if You have the gear good melded is enough reward. Maybe later when we got new harder crafts... The more important part for me is to learn how to use what You got and enjoy it.
Side observation - dont use 49 gear for stars crafts : recomended lvl 50 green HQ gear melded to got almost 350 in craftmanship/control/CP equally and with good rotation You can do wonders and forget about overmelding.
PS because i am all 50 crafter maybe i am not appropriate to give opinion if persons have one or two crafts leveled max... i got max leveled and melded gear on all crafting classes personally and never more spiritbonding till not coming new better crafter gear.

I don't know if it's just me. But I had an extremely hard time understanding that. Too much rambling.

As for the suggestion.. I like it!

Nope, keep the fail rate where it's at otherwise materias prices on the market board will fall even more. Making the fail rate better would be another hit on the economy.

You gotta think about the "big picture" not the "me" picture.

I don't like the idea. Being able to meld should be your reward for getting a profession to 50 and if it's stat based all of a sudden it's not. If you get 50 goldsmith you shouldn't have to look for a goldsmith meld your rings for you.

You seem to be misunderstanding my idea. My idea is about the OVERMELDS, not the REGULAR (absolute) Melds.

If someone else has a much better success rate than yourself, you wouldn't do the melds yourself anymore.

no. everyone wants to make this game easier. wth?

I think this could lead to drama, if stats effect overmelds then (some) people will start demanding success. At the moment everyone knows it's not my fault if I break 6 Tier 4 materia in a row, it's just the RNG doing it's thing and even though I have good crafting gear I don't want calling out on it when I do someone a favour.
