Spiritbond Increasing Gear

[Ksenia]

has anyone tested to see if these actually work. ive been using the meteor ring and aethyrte and im unsure that it's going any faster.

Been wondering the same, with base hidden. It seems to me you need around 300 One star to get an HQ set to 100% and a penta meld would reduce that to 150. The +1 additions don't really provide much insight.

- I just tested a +5 spirit bond set on a 49 Jeweler recipe. With the 2 from the Aetheryte rings that I wear by default I needed 3 Synthesis to get my patrician gloves to move a point. With a +5 set I got it to move 1% on every synthesis. I was using Tortoiseshell Armillae in this test and only did a few dozen but you wouldn't really need a huge test sample for bonding. I'm guessing +1 is around 25% or the same as a materia meld effect. The difference being the +1 works on everything where as a materia meld is isolated to the gear it's in.

On that note, I have done penta melds and I didn't get any crowns.

NM, I found it: You need to get it from the guy in Old Grid.
