What is the diffrence with synth photons???

[Triton]

I was synthing an armor and is was making it a blank element and the Photon percent kept going lower.

Photon 95% / El-photon 57% / Im-photon 57%

Now what was the deal with this???

[Laranas]

I'm not entirely sure about El-photons, but Im-photons were rumored to have a small chance in jumping rarity on a successful synth. I haven't synthed too many neutrals, so I can't confirm it.

[Retniwreven]

It's for the type of item.
Melee - Photons
Ranged - Im-Photons
Force - El-Photons.

Using the wrong type kills the synth rate.

[EspioKaos]

Im- and El-photons are used for ranged and TECHNIC weapons respectively. Using them in striking weapon or line shield boards lowers your success rate since they aren't the "proper" neutral photons to use.

EDIT: Oops! Beat to it!

i thought it was because strinking/armor is good with photon, range with im-photon, and el-photon with force

[Rasputin]

Also, using a plain photon on a striking weapon/armor will increase the success rate.

What they said!

[Kietrinia]

Increases the success rate, but makes it a neutral element. It's a trade-off really.

Considering that any information like that isn't around now, I guess it was just a rumor.
