Pentamelding hasn't really been a thing for awhile which is great because I don't ever think it should be a obligation, moreover just for perks.

However I think the % is pretty brutal to consider it useful, even while leveling your character up (unless your using tier 1's).

Anyone else think the % chance is too low? I think the 5th meld % chance is fine but the other 3 are kinda far off. The first nonmelded slot usually drops down to 30% chance right off the bat. Seems kinda overkill for just perks.

This is just my thoughts but:
first meld = 100%
Extra slot 2 = 75%
extra slot 3 = 50%
extra slot 4 = 25%
extra slot 5 =15%

%'s will vary a bit depending on the tier of materia like they do now (high tier = somewhat lower chance...

I think Blue gear should always be higher ilvl than the meldable gear so that no one feels obligated to meld, it should just be for perks. Like I said though, the current %'s are kinda high risk/low rewards for just being a perk.

Whats everyones thoughts on current meld system anyway?
