You forgot to meld. For just ~400 extra gil per desynth, you could have boosted that to 26.5%, which is far more reasonable. For ~900 extra gil per desynth, you could have boosted that to 31.5%. Assuming, of course, you could find cheap materia for ~200 gil each. Since you will gain 9 levels from 10 successes, at 31.5%, you only need ~33 attempts. 33 attempts at ~16,000 gil each if you buy them is ~500,000 gil to get from 91 to 100, which is.... actually pretty expensive. Hmm. There has to be a better way. I really need to stop slacking off about the database. Entering literally thousands of items is exhausting though. It's about 500 per class, plus about a thousand mats. I'm only up to about 1,500 items so far, and I know I have about ~2,500 to go... And then there's the dungeon loot, which is harder to add to the database.


Still, I'm still wondering though what the chance would be with 90 skill in your situation, or 89 skill. Would they be 15% and 13.5% respectively, or would they both be 0%? In other words, can you boost from 0 if your skill is right on the edge?
