Grinders

[Sanada Yukimura]

is there anyshop thats sells them? or are they a mission drop only?

[Nurusanura]

There is an upgrade NPC at the Tekker I think. I've upgraded to a +7 sword before, but no Grinder items, just costs meseta depending on the weapon type and level.

Was there a fail rate? If not, that is pretty awesome.

[Zyrusticae]

There is a failure chance, and you DO need to have grinders, you just may not have noticed yourself picking them up since they show up green on the ground with everything else.

[Jonth]

Understood. Does that failure chance ever result in you breaking said weapon in any form?

Nope, just make it weaker once it hits a certain point. The first few upgrades are always going to be work, but starting at around level 5 it can fail and go down a level.

Okay, so no lowering of maximum grind allotment on failure. Cool.

I do not understand Japanese, but I believe I had a grinder fail on the second level. It appeared the numbers went up (on the first level) then went down (on the second level). So I would assume something like an 80-90% chance of success for the first few levels. In other words, sux2bme lol.

It seems they're sticking with a similar system to PSU's grinding.
