My worse streak was actually about the same as yours, 7/10 failed. Only 3 made it. When I make armors, a lot of times they ALL fail (granted I only make 3 at a time, but still), so there have been worse out there.

My worst synth streak was 5 consecutive failures with an 80% success rate.

my only streak failure was when all three of my attempts at making the Yasminakov 0002 8* failed w/ a 54% success rate ;_;

You might as well just buy your weapons that are 7* and 8* from the NPC's (sometimes 7 cheaper in player shops, but definately not 8*s) and as for the 9* definately try to synth but you'll only get 1 out of a Board usually, IF your lucky. Lately when I get a Card Board or Armor board I only get 1 synth to work. The bow is working good lately but that's just luck I say.

I just failed 2 synths for a Kikamic on my Ageha-Kikami board http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif At least the first one I tried for the Actual Ageha-Kikami and got it. But I might as well have just bought the weapon from the NPC for all my effort. So from now on I'm sticking with 9* synths, at least they will hold greater value in the end. And I only need 15 more ATA to use the 9* cards. Cant wait!

in the 360 demo i went through maybe 2 or 3 rappy figures with them all being monomate or dimate. i would spend maybe 20k each time. i wasn't very happy http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/eviltongue.gif

11/14 phantoms and 10/14 deathmakes failed... at the same time >< I think making items in bulk may reduce your odds of success

3 of 5 failures with a 3* c rank wand board. 90% "success" rate

"I feel ok about this"

And other people claim it increases your chances.

Personally, I don't think it has anything to do with it.

7 9 stars in a row...

Mar 27, 2007, 01:14 AM
<_>... this may be a big boost to people here, but 50+ 2/3* melee weapons in a row...

though my best streak was 2 9* armor in a row... which is THE only synths I've ever had sucessful ._.

I caught some real good luck making my 9*'s when they came out: 3/3 phantoms, 3/5 deathmakers, 1/1 shigga bines, 1/2 gur missal.

My worst streak was the Dec 8 update when A ranks first came out... I failed 8 straight 7* synths that weekend before I made even one. This was before I knew about the board glitch too, so you can imagine my hatred at the time.

I ended up going 6/18 with that 7* set, and was dirt poor because of it. There were a few days where I had to open a mission to let my guns recharge cause I didn't have enough money lol.

I think the worst I got isn't a streak but a single item... The Tengohg Bow... 90% to synth... took me lots of time to gather it all... it failed... But I got compensated recently by a 22% Light Ryo-Crezashi and 16% Fire Del Jagnus (that I had already failed once), so I'm happy now ... *flushes synth system down the loo, hahahahahaha take that evil synths XDXDXD*

on 100 armour pm
3 out of 12 crimson line made(10,14,24%)
2 out of 9 sori-senbas made(20,28%)
varios b 4-6* armours around 50 about 35 made(10-34%)
a few c rank armours 3* one busterline at 50% lol

on my 100 range wep pm
2 out of 6 deathmakers made
1 out of 6 pythons made

on my 76 striking pm
5 out of 9 buccaners made(10-18%)
around6 out of 10 fluoesent bulbs(10-38%)
1 out of 1 del jagnus made(10%)
a load of c rank weps...(pm food)

generally synth is a load of pants... i dont know how so many people get good synths.... the cost of making a 9* armour is just under 500k if you buy all the materials. 3 boards= 4.5million..and then you get 2 under 20% armours made...lol

also 9* guns..cost just under 300k to make if you buy all the materials... if you get one in 3 of the board...nearly 1 million for a wep!

maybe ive just had bad luck since december,when i started synthing? its crazy lol

0/4, twice, on 9* weapons.

The fifth time's the charm, baby.

My worst run was trying to synth 3* twin Daggers (with element and 100 strike PM so 90% rate) failed out of 25 appempts (5 boards) 23 of em with 2 10% element successes.

My mate for whom had payed for the items (even photons) was not best pleased

Synthing 8 9* weps.... 2/8 so far. :cries: all Melee weps too, so I'm down ele-photons.

Failed a Hanzo, two Ryo-Misaki's, a Vahra Claw, two Falchorias, two Jitseens, an Ank Barde, a survivor, three Megalines, a Light Festival Decor, a De Ragon Head, 3 Pannon Figures, a Rappy Figure, an Onmagoug Figure, two Creasauds, a Crea Saber, and a Mukfet. Not going to bother with 9* on my 80strike pm cause I'm going to reset her into a pure range pm.

How did you manage to do that?

Siertes
Mar 27, 2007, 10:44 AM
Geez, there is something wrong with the picture this topic is giving. I think with a Pure XXXX PM you should be guaranteed at least one success per board for the PM's specialty.

*Of course it wouldn't be fair for boards with only 1 attempt*

CyarVictor
Mar 27, 2007, 11:09 AM
I don't even think the % rate matters as I see alot of people synthing items at extremely low rates and yet pulling out most of their weapons/armors easily while pure pms fail more so. It feels like the moment you hit the synthesis button, the game does a heads or tails. If only they could do something. I already have three people who gave up on synthing and I might do the same. Make it like WoW where you get better at synthing as you synth more and more or something, none of this yes or no crap.

1/19 on 9 star weapons and armors, all at one time. i cried. (100% strike and armor PM)

Fleur-de-Lis
Mar 27, 2007, 01:30 PM
14 63 92 73 96
92 29 70 40 70
13 81 16 19 70
63 10 40 29 12
18 99 32 2 60
94 71 71 21 27
93 50 45 70 36
4 45 1 39 11
21 59 82 43 23
66 15 22 17 10

In this example of 50 synths with a 50% chance of success, with results from random.org's true-random number generator, the synths succeeded 29 times by my count, or succeeded at a rate of 58%, better than expected. Whatever ST used to code the synth success process, it isn't random. But this is old news.

As heated as I'd like to get about the synth process, it isn't going to change. It's part of the game, and in all honesty, I don't feel like I'm really losing anything by failing. True, I'm not fabulously wealthy like most of you, and I can't even join the missions where the boards you write of are known to drop, but I had fun hunting, partied with new people, discovered new missions and areas. It still feels like a win.

Incidentally, I'm currently 0/9 this week on Spinatac with a 41% chance of success. Using the same generator...

46
52
25
96
17
55
6
63
72

...if the successes were determined at random (in this over-simplified example), I should have succeeded three times already. So I can understand the frustration. :/

Well at least we have missions that bring in the meseta to fund such endevours http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif. I have a feeling that the sevarac in my bot failed. Just hoping that the phantomline I funded in my friends armor bot made even if it has a crappy %.

Mar 27, 2007, 03:09 PM
just out of thought..does the pm battle skill effect synthing?.... on my armour and range pm's their b.skill is 0, and they fail a lot of things..but then on my 76striking pm with 100 battle skill, i seem to be able to have synth success on about 25% more boards... wierd!
