Im wondering if any of the races have a better shot at making HQ grinders. Im a M Cast, and I seem to make +1 and +2 grinders like theyre going out of style...but have never hit higher than +6. Have tried on days with high luck with similar results. A friend has a M Newman and makes +3 to +5 consistantly.....
Anyone else notice this....or do I just have terrible luck at making them??

I'm not sure if race has anything to do with it. However, you'll probably get a lot of people saying, "Play a Female Newman. You get everything." http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I tend to try to make those on lucky days, though I'm not sure how much difference it makes.
So I usually get a good collection of them, and then when the lucky day arrives, I start synthing.

I'm a F Newman and I hit +8 grinders constantly. But only C grade grinders, so I'm sure that doesn't count.

My male newman gets everything from +2's, to +10's. Nnone really more often than any other. I've never gotten a +1 as of yet.

Beast male, and I get a lot of 3-5s. Which suck, but I don't get a whole lot of 1s or 2s.

Female newman I got +1's and 2's like nobodys business...I've had ONE +10 C grinder. The second highest I've ever gotten was a +5. Occationaly I get a +4 out of a batch.

I get plenty 2s and 3s, a select amount of 1s, and a few 4s. I've had no grinder ranks above that...

luck is for grinding, thats all so far that its been confirmed (besides drops of course)
C's I have gotten like +7 before but B's I never get higher than +5 and thats very rare.

I've make grinders only on 3 luck days (which is almost constantly! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif), and I still only get mostly +2 ones. Highest I got was +7. :/

25k for materials for 30 Grinder B's.
Usually at least 5 +8's, maybe 5 +10's.

If you make them in the 5/5 bundles you can net some serious meseta if you get buyers. You can the cost for three or four batches plus the current one. Unless you're unlucky. Then I laugh because you waste your time.

EDIT: Note, it's not 25k for materials even from the NPC. It's less. I was just rounding up.

Hmm....aight.
Well....does anyone know if it makes a difference how many grinders you create at once? For example, would making a whole stack of five produce better results than doing them one at a time?

Newman F...they got the most 3* luck days out of everyone so far. *tries not to make a comment to save his own skin*

For your question Itchee, if you choose to make all 5 a once, you get a chance to get multiple of the same number that comes out. I always do mines in 5s just in case I get 9* or 10* grinders (Which I have 2 times so far http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif). If you choose to do it 1 by 1, you only get 1 of the grinder that comes out. So if you get a 10 grinder when you only put 1 in, you missed the chance to get 5 10 grinders.
There may be more to it, but this is just from my experience.

Yea.....I just wasnt sure if you had a higher percentage chance of HQs when making them in bulk.....
