As if the crafting grind wasn't bad enough :(

I just need to vent ;_;
I mean, yeah I knew the risks going in, it's still disappointing.
This represents about a month's worth of sb just blown up & not even on the last slot.
Someone else will meld theirs easily, someone else might blow up more than me, idk.
Just frustrating crafting gear progression is limited by complete rng you have no control over.
Even having some sort of alternative, guaranteed method (eg. burn 50 IVs at once for 100%) wouldn't be that bad because you'd at least be able to see the end goal. This is just suffering.

Also, if you're on Sarg, now's a great time to sell CP IVs.

The fact that you had that much materia to begin with surprises me more than the RNG

[WHS]

On Hyperion that many melds torched would be over 11 mil. It might not seem like alot to some folks but some of us that is a fortune. I wish you better luck on your next melds.

Ugh. I'm sorry for all that materia you lost. RNG is a cruel, cruel thing sometimes. I hope things turn around for you soon.

You do realize that a 10% chance mean that only 10 out of a total of 100 will succeed and not 1 in your first 10 will succeed.

I feel ya, man. When I just got ready for it I blew I think 76 Command 4 on the i55 offhand. My feelings when I had to convert it to become a cunning III was undescribeable. Hence I don't pentameld crazily again.. hit bare minimums and be done with it. Wait 3 months and get welfare gear..

This is the step back I take, I'm all about melding what I need, not melding to be the best like no one ever was. Look at what you are doing and ask yourself, "Do I need this or am I just doing it for the big numbers?" You are better of in a financial and mental state to focus on what you need rather than want because when you try to get the best stats and then look to what you can make you'll realize that, while yes you can get the best stats that they aren't really necessary at this point in time.

Melding should really just eat a flat amount of materia per overmeld. The current system is both immensely tedious and immeasurably frustrating and adds nothing of value to the game. If I want to gamble, I'll head to the Gold Saucer, thanks.

I remember when failing a meld meant losing the gear too.
Those were the days.

Oh man, even worse when you had to enhance your gears to +10 or 20 and only then would you utilise slots to meld materia/cards/enhancements/scrolls on to it.. on some games..
