Overmeld Success Rate and Craftsmanship

[RazeLandale]

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

I didn't think I'd have to specify because of context, yes I know you meant overmelds. Point stands. The only reason you'd have more crafting than another person IS overmelds. So you need to find another crafter to overmeld for you. Great, now that's done you can overmeld! But you don't need to. Because someone else just did it.

Your idea just takes away self sufficiency. If you want to argue success rates are too low, that's fine. If they decide to raise it though it should be for everyone.

All for it, this could make a difference between somebody who just levelled a handworker to 50 and somebody who has taken the time (and GIL probably) to equip him well. Even if it would only be your own success rate (items you have in your repository that are bound to your char).

I could live with this suggestion, IF the item melded will be crushed and all its inserted materia with it, when the meld fails, like it was in 1.2x.
But i predict this will not be the intented mechanik by the OP?!?!

Oh and to be clear, no, never ever give us a 100% chance besides the existing ones!

Against it, overmelding success is something that should be left to chance no matter how well melded the crafter's gear is.
Even on personal gear.

Agree 100% with you.

Just spend a couple million overmelding your accessories, and putting melds in the freebie slots on other gear and you should have zero issue HQing stuff. While I do hate that there was no way to boost the melding chances, I must say it felt really good every time that final meld went through.

Materia would drop to near worthless prices if you could boost your overmeld success rates. The market is terrible enough already, thanks.
