Ok i just want to confirm something about synthing

[HiroSan]

Ok guys i've been told two different things so i want to know for sure which is true, Does luck change the outcome of weapons from synthing?

i.e. would i get a higher element % or have a higher chance of weapons not failing from synthing on a lvl 3 luck day than a no luck day? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

No it does not effect it in anyway.

[RedX]

As far as we have been able to determine it doesn't.

[Darkly]

to my knowlege luck only affects grinding and the 'chance' of rares dropping ie, you have a greater chance of a red item, not weapon boards.

I thought the luck increased the quantity of items, not the quality...

[360NyTeMaRe]

Luck affects ONLY grinding and absolutely nothing else.

[DEM_CIG]

synthing is random... nothing effectects it

You're forgetting drop rates increase... (but it doesnt mean its going to be what you want)

[Mayu]

Not uh

Got to love more

Monomate dropping and marseline http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif useless like that <.<

[Para]

Mmmm personal experience tells me that I get a better chance at higher %s with luck. Of course I could be just feeling some kind of placebo effect lol.

I think you're just imagining things, Para. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

If that were true it would have to be based on your luck the day you inserted the materials, not the day you took out the item. But like I said, I haven't seen any evidence of it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[Para]

im pretty sure it would based on the day u took them out if luck affected it.
but like i said i could be wrong http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

The drop rates do not increase. The items are instead upgraded. For example, in a box where you'd sometimes get a nanocarbon, with higher luck you're more likely to get a Nanoresin or Nanopolymer instead. It doesn't increase things like rare board drops, Me/Quick or anything else you can think of.

[Mayu]

Accordingly -.-

LUCK doesn't affect boxes

Someone confirm it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

-.-

By default, if it increased the number of items dropped (yeah it does), you would increase the likelihood of getting a rare. It's like archer's theory...If you shoot enough arrows, you are bound to hit the target.

Well no offense but I hope you ARE wrong. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif If that were true it would be very unfair to fighters since melee weapons rely on elemental % but gunner and techer weapons do not. If that's the case, fighters would have to wait until 3* luck days to take out their synthed weapons and everyone would have to wait until 3* luck to take out their armors. That would be a major pain in the butt! xD Remember that time female humans got no 3* luck for 5 months straight? >.>

But isn't that just making drop rates "better"? I mean, the chances for something rare to drop increases. Of course, this mostly always only applies to mats (because I seem to find they drop like candy but mah boards don't, but that's just my IRL luck) >_<

And yeah, boxes aren't affected as far as I know. It's why people are kind of thrown off by boss box-only drops.

Well stukasa lets say if luck did affect it... its effect would be like on the scale similar to 3* affecting rare drops lol

Straying off-topic here, but I've found in HSM though that the chance of finding rares in the boxes seems to go up with higher luck. Is that just one more case of coincidence?

@Para: I *do* get more rares on 3* luck days though. They just happen to be lots of Kerselines and Vulcalines. XD

You get more rares because the drop rate IN GENERAL increases on 3* luck days. In other words, you're getting more of everything. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif
