% Meld Success Rate

[tachikoma]

We need a stat to affect meld success rates, I'm not against the current %'s but the idea that the best gear in the game can be created with the same success weather naked and using an R1 tool or decked out in fully forbiden matteria'd HQ'd top tier gear is INSANE, this needs to be fixed.

Right now the gear you wear plays such a small role in crafting success I think at least making forbidden % rely on gear stats would encourage the crafting population to take pride and put effort into what they wear.

I'm sure they can put 20 minutes into balancing a formula to keep the current status as is with normal lvl proper gear and give a small boost to the people with materia/HQ gear, and a larger bonus to the people who have full forbiden HQ'd sets for crafting.

10 minute formula I came up with.

take current % numbers and add modifier's A and B:

Main hand stat(vit/str/dex/mnd/etc) for modifier A:
0-200: .8
201-250: .9
251-300: 1.0
301-350: 1.1
351+: 1.2

Sum of ( Control + Craftsmanship + magic.Craftsmanship) for modifier B:
0-200: .8
201-210: .9
211-220: 1.0
221-230: 1.1
231+: 1.2

ex: Weaver with 325-DEX and a sum of 235(control/crafts/m.crafts) doing a forbid with 20% success with new system would be: .2 * 1.1 * 1.2 => .264 or 26.4%

Also when adjusting HQ rates it would really be nice if stats played a large role in the hq %'s (especially if you make auto-HQ with all HQ mats allowing you to use some NQ mats but still have a good chance at HQ with exceptional gear would be awsome!)

Agreed! . If I am using a +1 cobalt saw with forbidden materia compared to a weathered saw when melding forbiddens, the percentage should not be the same. With a full set of hq gear it should be quite noticeable compared to level 1 gear.

Gamblers Crown should of given a small bonus to meld % instead of some useless bonus to spirit binding which is only usable by doh

thats good for people who will meld their own gear but it will be bad when they add a bazaar/repiarlike funtion so other people can insert materia on the fly into your gear.

Then give us a materia or set of NM/dungeon/coffer gear with +forbidden %. It makes absolutely no sense that rank 1 gear HQ rank 50 gear have the same percentage to meld materia.

Honestly they should only allow that for the first materia, any forbidden materia should require you to seek out someone.

if they made stats affect rate then the rates you have now would probably still be the best outcome. All they would do is nerf the rate really bad and make you fully gear up to achieve what you can achieve now with no gear. I dont think theyll ever increase the % or make it easier in any way.


not to mention its the goblin tool that bonds the materia not your trade tools so they wouldn't have an impact anyway.

i dont mind the SB part but should been +3 - +5 SB all classes

they could but they wont, everyone would just get really good gear and throw the materia system outta balance. Multi melding is not supposed to be easy, people need to stop asking for bonus's. its bad enough crafted gear is best in game.

syntaxlies why the eff are you posting in this? you have nothing to contribute its an idea to help give crafters something other then naked r1 melding to look forward too.
