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.
