It will be about 96%

I *think* Armor PMs cap at 70% because there is no Armor synthing specialty. I have no idea if the grinding bonus can surpass this cap, but if it did I'm not sure it could ever hit 100%.

Nothing will be 100%, but the boost will make it better.

96 % aye? Well..guess i just have to pray then anyway.
I despise to waste 30 Nanopolymer on a chance but i guess i have no choise. :S
People price Nanopolymer way to high for my taste.

500 000 for one? Jesus..thatīs makes about much sense as Morbinia cost 700 000 and weapons that needs 15 of those are sold for like 1.4 milj at players store?
Uhh talk about the owners is getting ripped-off.

It is possible for armor synths to go up to 100%. During the last period of synthesis boosts (jeez, what was that, 1up? Winter Festa? I'm not even sure) I made a neutral Storm Line in my 100 armor PM. The success rate was 100%.

It will be either 95 or 96% with the extra 20%. Some 11* armor boards gets that extra 1%.

Boost % might as well not go up at all since regardless the number(unless 100%) your chances seem 50/50 at best but far worse most times.

Bah, i know the synth thing is tricky which is why i hate it.
But i feel better if i do it with the synth boost, knowing it were doomed anyway to fail.

That's cuz u use a photon to synth it. Using photon in a synth that can get a element always get a few more % if u use a plain photon tho it makes it neutral. Don't know how mush more % it gives atm.

Yeah. I think the bonus is around 5% using regular, non-elemental photons. IIRC, the Storm Line was at 95% success rate, until I put in regular photons.

I *think* Armor PMs cap at 70% because there is no Armor synthing specialty. I have no idea if the grinding bonus can surpass this cap, but if it did I'm not sure it could ever hit 100%.Synth specialty is meaningless as it has no affect on the rates. If you put a tech weapon board in a 450 and used an EX device to change it to a non-tech PM, the rate would still be the same, for instance. Rates are simply predefined in a table for each level in the stat that effects the rate. An armor synth would simply be 70% because ST made it that way. You could see armors as being harder to synth for balance reasons.

As for neutral property weapons and armors, the rates are fixed as well and not a consistent increase from the normal rate.

With that all said, synth boosts from events are merely added to the normal rates and can exceed 100% (then cap at 100%).

Still, that's pretty massive for an Armor synth, considering most of the time you're lucky to get above 60%.

Excuse me, but, wtfrutlkinbout? My Shinowa Line board in my level 100 Armor PM has a 86% success rate. And that's without the bonus. :disapprove:

*shrug* That's how I remember it being in v1, but that's when I had an Armor PM.

*Ahem* As you may remember, synth rates were improved for 10*+ items with AOI...
