View Full Version : Rant: This is so retarded... your worst synth failures

So far, I've failed:
5 Crea Doubles attempts (3 neutral; @54%, 2 element @45%)
3 Kotoha-senba in a row (all elements; @37%)
Degahna Cannon (@62%)

I can never seem to synth any rare items in this game... This is probably why I never got a halp to drop because the game knows I couldn't fail that if I synthed one. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

So what's the rarest item you've failed to synth?

Sorry for your losses, if it makes you feel any better, every time I grind weapons..they break grinding to 6 or 7.

It's depressing, I've gone through over 10 kubara weapons, lol.

Wow, tough luck, I failed 8 Ganna Line's in a row before one worked (10% Dark >.>;;)
EDIT- Figured I would add in, I've also failed around 10 or 12 Del- weapons, never synthed one as of yet, they hate me. >_>

It wasn't me, but a friend of mine found a Halarod board from our first ever run of Eastern Peril S2 yesterday. It failed on a 100 Mind PM (I don't know what the % was). Needless to say, it was depressing for both of us. ;_;

Yeah...I think you win this topic with the Degahna Cannon synth failure though.

Nothing compared to some of you, but:

-Failed a Del Jagnus after searching for about a week for the last Deljaban Blade I needed.
-Failed 2 Crimson Lines, then passed one- with 10% Fire. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif
-Failed seven Lightning Ank Pikors so far, got the 8th going now.

As far as I'm concerned, items like Degahna Cannon, and S-Rank items should be good success rates to justify the amount of time put into getting them, and the materials..

Three Deljabaners, two Del Jangus, three Deathmakers, three Mira-kikami, and I can't remember what, but my 100 STK PM failed a 92%+ synth of a saber not that long ago...

My 100STRK PM just failed synthing my light Nightwalker, and my light Heavy Sabers =/

Shiryuu
Apr 29, 2007, 12:02 PM
Failed another 2 kotoha-senba. Piece of shit. Even both of the ganna lines I found synthed at least 1 each.

I think I'm just gonna stop playing for a bit. This is starting to piss me off.

I failed 5 Claymauds in a row, with 90% success rate on them - then broke the only one to work trying to grind it up to +3.

Fuck synthing.

Apr 29, 2007, 01:33 PM
<_> I've said it before and I'll say it again a ton of low star items 2-4*, fuck if I remember the exact number, 50, 100, all I know is that I spent a mil or two on cheapo stuff and failed em all.

btu in the end I did a joke rabol asted synth and got two o;

Aw poor Shiryuu. Kotoha-Senbas are not your friend.

Last two attempts came out 12% and 16% Dark. Around 5 mil meseta wasted....

Nothing as bad as you guys, but I failed 2 Tengoh bows. ;-;

May 1, 2007, 12:57 PM
my pure ranged PM went 0 for my first 5 deathmakers, but went 1 for 1 on a 12% phantomline...why does 25% work and 49% not?

Shiryuu
May 2, 2007, 07:00 PM
Just failed a 90% Creasword. Synthing in this game is starting to make no sense.

I'm not looking forward to synthing any more s-ranks...

I had a bad streak of 7 out of 35 howrods. lost a lot of meseta that week.

More failures:
5/6 Ga-senba failed
5/8 Phantom Line failed
2/3 Hiragi-senba failed
2/3 Kotoha-senba failed
1/3 Michi-senba failed
1/1 Yamata failed
1/1 Crimson Line failed
2/2 Weld Line failed

The ones that made it through are all 10-16% Except for 2 phantom lines which were 20%. I have permanently changed my pure armor pm's name to Failure Bitch.

Also:
405+ Elemental photons wasted (90% I picked up on missions, but estimated value: 10+ mil)
7+ million wasted on resins
Around 6 million wasted on -line metals
15+ million for the boards

Actually, a lot of the resins and -line metals we're drops. Was just trying to give them a value to make it seem worse. :/

The 15 mil for the boards were pure hax money though. 6 mil for the kotoha, 5 mil for the michi, 2 mil for the weld, and 2 mil on 2 ga-senbas.

So even if you took out the hax money, that's still a lot of unfair failures.

I fail at synthing. Never synthed anything over 38%. Went 3/12 on 7* melee weapons. Regularly fail 6* weapons.

I synthed 300K worth of fire ageha-senbas, and the highest percent I got was 20%.


My advice: buy 18-22% weapons, armor at player shops. Buy grinded wands, guns at player shops until you have equipment that is 'sufficient' for high level play.

Then ONLY synth when the boards drop, or you have money to burn, and then synth 1 specific item only.

Just failed Daiga-misaki @85% with a pure PM. This is just lame.

Powder Keg
Jun 9, 2007, 01:45 PM
I think the percentages are pure bullshit. There is no way everyone can be failing high percentages at.....such high percentages.

If this isn't changed in AOI the servers are going to be just as dead as they are now.

Jun 14, 2007, 03:52 PM
So it seems I can't synth anything at all now...
In the past week (in order):
Weld Line failed
Daiga-misaki failed
Crimson Line failed
Phantom Rifle failed
Nightwalker failed
Mira-kikami x3 failed

No success at all... pile of shit.

SolomonGrundy
Jun 15, 2007, 12:55 PM
The only way to 'beat the odds' at synthing, is to play them: When I synth ageha senba's, I do them with at least 3 boards. That way, I have good confidence that 1 will make it.

now that resin is pretty cheap, I'll probably synth 4 phantomline boards, to see if I get anything worthwhile. I have the boards already.

The heartbreakers are the S rank boards like stormline. 37% chance? grrreat.

McLaughlin
Jun 15, 2007, 02:54 PM
Stormline is a 56% chance of success.

UPDATE: more annoying synth failures.

I saved up ALL my nanoresins from FB to synth phantom line armors in the hope fo getting one with decent %s.

5 synth attempts (that's 125 nanoresins, 75 kerseline, and assorted photon). I had ONE success at a rate of 45% and it was a 12% dark. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

1 for 5!

a Ganna Line and A Kotoha-Senba with 34% both on th same day. =/

But now that I have raised my PM to 100 last night. it is now 37% hope it works this time after spending 300k on synth items back then... eww

SolomonGrundy
Jul 1, 2007, 07:48 PM
my retail synth cost for the failed pantom lines (not including the boards)

100 x 7.5K/nanoresin
60 x 4K/kerseline
= 750K + 240K = 990K
call the photons another 10 and I have a million meseta that looks conspicously like 4 monomates sitting in my partner machine.

Synthing? Broken.

My PM(The Deathpod) is 79 strike/21 tech and will fail things like knives, braneras, soda gigassas, and other low rank things. Despite this however every single one of the 7* melee weapons I've synthed have come out, a few of them being somewhat high percentage. Just today I pulled out my third Death Dancer from a board and it was a success at 34% ground. It's an odd extreme with my weapon synths that she'll fail 2* melee weapons for 2/5 on a single board yet never once fail a 7*. I'm considering sometime in the future when I'm not so poor to try and make 7* range or tech weapons and see if I can get the same success rate. Pretty much as I've seen and sometimes heard about synths from other people I know you just have to figure out what your PM likes to synth, and they'll do it everytime. Deathpod once made a 44% ice ank tomho which I was quite proud of and definitely cemented her as a permanent PM. I swear it was because she knew that I was comtemplating restarting her to make a pure strike PM. One of the most hilarious synthing failures I've ever had is when I tried my first attempt on a board to make an ortotore(3* yohmei handgun), well when it was done I wasn't looking at the screen as I was pulling it out and I heard the failure noise so I was like "DAMNIT" then I look at the screen and notice that the failure resulted in a free scape doll for me, then I was like "HEL YEH". Just for that I went out and took her on a mission.

Christ almighty, my PMs are all pieces of SHIT.

I just failed all of the following in a row.

Crimson Line
2 Phantoms
3 Ank Piktors
3 Ran Misakis

ALL IN A FUCKING ROW. I HAVE level 100 FOR EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE WEAPON TYPES. Why in the fuck did I waste all of my time leveling these assholes up if they're just going to fail on me?

*shivers in a corner* so.....cold.......so......cold.....

Gotdamn man, I can't fucking wait until AOI....hopefully the change is significant.

360NyTeMaRe

Aug 5, 2007, 07:25 PM
Ouch. Strangely, I seem to have rather good luck with Phantoms. I'm about 9 for 12 thus far....but I don't think the rate should be 49% if you spent the time and money getting it leveled up to 100 tech...

DonRoyale
Aug 5, 2007, 08:04 PM
I synthed one round of five Misakis, all at 66%. Four of the five failed, the one that didn't came out 10% light.

I wasn't nearly as pissed as I should've been for the amount of meseta it cost me. >:C
