0/61(thats 61 items have assploded not 61 trys) on gamblers crown... i have only had 1 triple meld on oll those trys 30 items have been using bsm hammer lvl 48 with lvl1 materia and using only +1 mnd +1 str my trys always assplode on the double or the triple and these things have like 30-42% sucsess.... lvl 50 bsm..

i have double melded IV's 1st try then assploded 1-5 doubles of III's so many times its not funny.... personally i think the % rate is total and utter (insert swear words here).. as with most things crafting related also with ffxi... SE continually proves to me random excrement is random excrement

i take no notice of the % rate and just meld i expect all my melds to assplode in flames and never expect a sucsess after the 1st one such is how i feel the suspected sucsess rate is
