Yet another question about % rates.

[Jinto117]

Just the other day I heard yet another rumor that in order to get high % striking weapons people use lv. 10 tech PM's to synth their weapons. They say the tech part of the PM gives them a better chance of receiving high % weapons. And because the chance of success is so low they are rewarded with a high %, assuming it even comes comes out successfully that is.

What say you?

[Retehi]

I say it's a stupid rumor.

[SarinSerafi]

False. Obtaining a high percentage weapon is pure luck (the real life kind, not the photon fortune you get randomly every day). Work on getting a pure or high Striking PM to increase the chances of making the weapon in the first place, then keep synthing.

Sounds perfectly valid to me, synth 30 weapons and get back to us

*sigh* It is simply a matter of annoyance really. I won't name names but it is very irritating seeeing guys with their 50% (i.e. 50% ice Muktrand, 50% ice Ank Picor, 50% fire Phantom Line, etc.) items in their pallette and in their shops for 99,999,999. Sure, you can say they bought them but so many 50% must mean they have more meseta then they know what to do with. Either that or they live, breath, eat, sleep, and sh** PSU. I just can't help but feel there is some sort of method.

[Hrith]

No, like all rurmours, it's false.

Also some people tend to buy meseta, so that's another way they attain so much. Others just know how to make money fast (Buy low, Sell High) and can support themselves that way. And lastly (although lest probable), some people are genuinely lucky and get several rare and/or high percent items.

...who the HELL came up with this theory?

[Ethan-Waber]

worst rumor ever.

As a Fortefighter with multiple 44-50% weapons, I'll explain how I and some other fighters get these things. I don't want people being bitter and upset, nor do I want you folks to get the wrong idea.

The majority of my weapons were obtained through synthing on my own. Perhaps I'm lucky, but I've seen others with even MORE weapons than I do, so there are luckier out there. I make 10-12 a day, and pull them out.. ever since Firebreak started, I've pulled out one 44-50% weapon a day. There is no trick or method, from what I can see. I just make them, take them out when the 12 hours are up, sift through the monomates and 10-20%, and out comes the 44-50%. (A good friend of mine in game, Primera, also gave me a gift - a 50% electric Muktrand. Thank you! <3) So others may have gotten gifts as well.

The mats come from the NPC, drops, or when I shop around and see people who happen to sell them for much cheaper. My boyfriend, who plays a Fortetecher, also gives me all the photons and mats he finds in missions because he doesn't need them, so that helps. I am in no way rich meseta wise.

The rest of my weapons were obtained through trade, and so are all my armor. In between synthing and running missions, I solo or duo with my BF and hunt for units, mostly Me / Quick and Hard / Power Charge. We've found 3 Me/Quicks and 6 HPC's so far (one of which I kept for myself). We also found a Halp Serafi (but I gave it to my BF) and a Rabol Rappy board, which I synthed all three and traded them all for weapons and armor when the value was higher. I hunt every day, even on no luck days.

I work part-time at the moment and school hasn't started yet, so I have more than enough time to play this game. I play about 8-10 hours a day, with lots of breaks in between, as well as leveled my alternate, an 80/10 Fortegunner CAST. Yes, I spend a lot of my free time on this game, but it hasn't taken away from my real life. My BF and I live together and play the same game, so that's how we spend some of our time together. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Overall, you do need to put in a lot of time, and also have a bit of real life luck to get the drops/synths you need. Yes, there are probably some fF who just hacked all their high % weapons, and those are probably the only ones you hear about. But it's not everyone's story. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[Mayu]

My routine was

Every 12 hours

Make 32 weapons

Clear

None

Repeat

Oh hi 50% or 44%

I have ALOT doing this http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Only reason ... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif I have so much money and I intend to spend most of it *giggle*
Luck has nothing to do with %s except for well maybe you Real life luck hehehe Just keep synthing and it will come to you -_-

Just like armor I lucked out on all elements except Ground which I spent 70 fking million and I still don't have a 50% one http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

That is all

and I shall post a quote from a friend of mine who told me http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Never whine it will come to you eventually

if you're standing on your head when you win the lottery, you may contribute your winning to that, and stand on your head every subsequent drawing, but it's really all just luck.

if you look at it stastically, say the chances are 1 in 100. If you synth twice, then your chances are 1 in 50. The idea is enough repeat trials in order to overcome the odds. Unfortunately all you can do is keep trying.
