If im going to grind something, and i have the materials. one of each. lets say C rank. so i have c+1,+2,+3....+9, and i have 10 c+10's.

would i have better success if i used 10's all the way through? more so than using 1 then 2 then 3 then 4.....?

These charts explain it better than I could ever hope to.

Yes, you'll have better success using +10s from the start, but at low grinds they all give a good amount of success.

At higher grinds you're playing with around 10% success between C+9 and C+10 though

Higher rank of grinder will always get you a higher success rate on grinding.

Personally, I tend to skimp and use common grinders like +6 through the first five grinds or so... after that I try to use +8 and above.

That's just me though. I still break tons of weapons. The grind system in this game just sucks. "High" chance of success should really say "kiss your weapon goodbye while you still can".

but the chart would say otherwize Laranas, its saying that for each value your weapon is at, the grinder you used before hand didnt increase your chances of this next grind. perhaps i wasn't clear with my question

yeah, i knew that much Jae. but i didnt ask the right question http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif i meant, if i use a 10 first, will i have more success on the next grind? but they are independant

my question has been answered! quickly too http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif nice

Previous grinds have no effect on future grinds to my knowledge. Grinding a weapon to +9 with +1 grinders would not make the last grind any different (assuming you use the same grinder level in both trials) as grinding a weapon to +9 with +10 grinders.

The grinding success is incremental, but not wholly based on the increased chance of success. The chart sums it up, but you'll mostly get the same results (Very High, High, etc.) from grinders of different numbers, say C+6 and C+7 still giving you a Very High chance of success. If you've got plenty of everything it won't come into play, really, you'll break all that everything eventually.
