The "I can't synth my way out of a paper bag" thread

[Tomeeboy]

Hm.. 9 attempted synths of 5 star weapons tonight at 70% chance per synth. Somehow it just seems wrong that I only ended up with 2 actual weapons from it. I'm pretty sure that's a little closer to 22% than 70%. My PM is FIRED!

I think I need to remodel my room with the clover theme or something http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Offline Extra Mode, I've only ever tried to synth 2 things so far. Both with 89% success.

Both times, they failed on the first try.

Well, since this was offline, I was able to reset. First time it was Twin Real Hand Gun, second time, I only had a materials for my Gigush board, so I thought, "Eh, I can feed it to my PM" it failed, and gave me White Gloves XD

I got the that light bulb item from making some sort of saber >.>

I've failed 90%s and succeeded in 55%s. It's not fair. <_<

And yeah, tomee. You should start giving that PM a choice. SHAPE UP OR IT'S LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF RELICS FOR YOU! *shakes fist* Maybe that'll scare some resta out of her!

And the clover room isn't a bad idea. Just.. don't choose the pink one. It's.. embarassingly pink. Not at all what I had expected. XD

i got some pretty good items from failed synths...
and whats your secret to rasing the tech pm? I bought like, 1000 force weps and only got like 3 lvls... =(

You win some, you lose some. Unfortunately it seems we lose more than win with synthing. Maybe when the additional PMs are released we'll start having better luck with specific synths...

[Tomeeboy]

The worst part with only getting 2 out of 9 items to synth, is that I'll probably end up breaking one (or both) of them if I attempt to grind them... lol.

To get the 450, I used the dimate / FO weapon method from Shimarisu's "Quick and Dirty Mind PM" guide... It took me about 9 or 10 days to finish and was still pretty expensive. The worst parts were the first 20 levels, and the last 10 or so levels, which required a lot of FO weapons. The price of dimates in player shops has dropped considerably since I raised my PM, so it should be a little cheaper than what I had to spend.
