Only 6 hour wait on my 8* axe...not so bad...

[Deja]

At first thought it was 8 hours or twelve, if it was twelve I would be pissed. 54%...man I hope this is successful. I'm not in the mood for buying 6 more mot ebons and 6 more vestalines...that's like 30k+

Oh well, flip of the coin.

[princejake2]

I just bought the one in the shop because I didn't want the chance of failure. Whats your PM's striking stat?

[Deja]

77ish I think, just raised it to that and gave up, it's lvl 96 with 77 or so strike and 19 tech.

My buddy has 80 strike and it's only 55%, so I can go without one percentage.

[Numnuttz]

is it only one try on the board?

[Deja]

3

[Doh42]

you can convert other -lines item up until you reach 8*, can't you? It's way cheaper than buying them.
Same goes for ebons, you can convert mot wood to ash to ebon, and it ends up cheaper than players are selling them AND NPC prices, too.

8* was "too pricy" for me this morning when I logged, so I'm hoping my 7* ends up working... the mats are really easy to get, too. but 3 tries at 56 or so % is more annoying than getting new mats. especially if 3 bad luck means 60,000k worth of boards gone up in flames.

My 7 star Hanzo worked, though it's only 10% fire XD

I'm just glad it worked.

[RazorBlazE]

Made a double saber tiday on my armor PM
Suceeded though with a 42% chance o.o
36% to earth too http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
suprised since I normaly break everything T_T

[MaKaVeLi_X]

Ive got 3 8 stars synthing ... 3 hours left -_^

[Reiichi]

100 striking is giving me a 61% chance at an 8* double saber. I'll find out if it succeeds later today.

... I don't think that my 48 figunner human can even equip it yet anyways -_-

You mean 8* DB? I failed another 8* Axe, so I feel your pain. Only one more try left lol.

Apparently, 8* weapons are very hard to synth. I haven't met anyone on 360 yet with an 8*.

[KiteWolfwood]

I accidentally bought and synthed a 7* dagger when what I really wanted was the twin dagger version. Oh well fun times.

[Chris28]

im going to try to make a 7* Armor tomorrow. I bought the GRM board today.

[Deja]

22% dark 8* Axe, my new Neudiaz Relics buddy. Took me 13 hours to make (failed first), but was WELL worth the wait.

I'm just relieved that I can level the photon art now.

[-Crokar-]

i failed an 8 star dbl saber. so i bought a 7* and now im broke. so im going with claws next. not going to even try to synth again.

[Deja]

yea its a HUGE gamble, flip of the coin 54%, but I got 1/2 tries, so I'm happy. Never gonna synth another thing again, now just gonna find some good stuff.

[ThisIsMyPanic]

First 8 star axe failed. Just started second one. I'll be hoping in my dreams. wish me some luck guys : )

[RazorBlazE]

made two double sabers with a 42% chance dark and earth. the I was pushing luck so I tried two lvl 3 weps with im photons for 35% chance and made BOTH of them too to pushed luck even harder and made 3 room decorations in a row at 64% chance o.o I don't like luck this good makes me thing bad lucks going to come X_X. Next up is midiline armor now all I need is 27 more nanocarbons T______________T;;;

[Ryoki]

I made a 24% dark DB saber *7 (I'm poor, ok? I can't afford *8.)

Now I'm afraid to continue and synth more...

lol wow, i failed another one. must be my lucky day XD 0/3 w/ 56% success -cries- i shouldve started w/ 7*'s in the first place.

[Deja]

I, on the other hand, have had great luck since my PM's massive failure. I thought I wasted 200k for the axe and mats, but 2/3 synths later, I'm happy:

8* Axe 22% dark
8* Axe 44% ice

[Golto]

I guess i'm the only one that made the 8* Evil Twins, twin handguns? Seems everyone is making melee weapons.


Oh yeah good luck on making 8* armor the mats are pretty expensive and low success % of course.

[ViciousXUSMC]

Its pretty much imposible to craft A ranks for profit, the synth rate is too low, the cost of mats for 1 fail would take the profit from 3 sales to make it up :/

as for the high end mats its not really cheaper to upgrade prior mats at all, the npc sells them at a reasonable price. I assume some players shops will too but I logged on at an odd hour and there were none for sale except expensive ones.

my 8* rod is up in 14 minutes! Im selling it tho, no sense in having a 8* A rank wep I cant grind when fully grinded 6* is stronger and cost less PP to recharge.

Might try the 8* wands next when I have enough funds, well actually gonna buy 7* npc armor next when I have the money to make up for my horrible hp/def of fortetecher.


well sigh.. it failed it will be quite some time before I can attemt again.

not the only, everyone's just busy waiting on their synthing victory and failures XD

Saw a few with them yesterday

Anywho. My synthing ratio right now is 4:7. succeeded 4 8* items and failed 3. Was able to get Hammateric,lidra, and Ageha-sami? ( the card). Failed 1 lidra,1 mayrod, 1 card.

XD remember when I had 1 million? Well i have 100k now.

[Arieta]

I've been busy making weapons and havn't done to bad so far

I've made the following:
10% Light Sharp Twins (sold it)
12% Ice Bone Dancer (sold it)
24% Ice Bone Dancer
18% Dark Bone Dancer (trying to sell it)
24% Dark Bone Dancer
26% Fire Sharp Twins
14% Earth Sharp Twins (Plan to sell once I make a better Earth DS)
14% Earth Bone Dancer (trying to make one with at least 20% or higher then I sell this)
20% Lightning Sharp Twins


So currently I have 6, 8* weapons on my weapons hot key. Ones in my PM trying to sell it and sold a few others that I didn't want to keep or got upgraded. I've been trying to make another Light Sharp twins, but I keep failing oh well.

Out of 9 weapons that lived, at least 6 failed. So far this is going exactly as how I suspected it would, which is good. I was kinda afraid I would fail more then I have, but 6 is within my estimate.

I've been preparing for this patch though, so I was ready for it the moment it came out. I had like 400 Par Ash (that I mostly all went around buying dirt cheap before the patch) that I converted to Par Ebon. I got Stelinum (sp?) fairly cheap before the patch. The only thing that really set me back was the vestaline, which no one is selling even remotly near the NPC price so I had to pay 6k a piece for it.

I went from 1.6 million to 500k just like a hour after the patch. Then back up to 1 million after selling 2 of those 8*'s that I didn't want. I'm back down to 900k though because I'm taking another two trys at making a better Earth DS and a Light Sharp Twin. *IF* those get made, which I pray they do. I'll start working on my 6* Twin Daggers, which will be a lot cheaper then the 7-8* version and have better ATP base.

The PP will become greater once I grind them to like 3. I'll suffer some ATA since they're GRM compared to Yohemi 7-8*, but I can live with that since I'll only be paying a fraction of the cost by going 6* instead of 7-8*.

[caster2]

I made 3/3 Bone dancers yesterday with a 52% chance.

20% Dark Bone Dancer
22% Light Bone Dancer
44% Ice Bone Dancer

Guess I got lucky lol.

I currently have the PA up to lv 20, gonna hit 21 real soon ^_^

[Deja]

That's odd, as I failed my first, then the next two elements were 22% and 44% like yours. It's like you were on a different (and better) luck train track, then merged with my luck track after your first grind.

*high five*

[Deja]

Now that I finally got my Axe up to ownage levels, I thought I'd share it with you. If this doesn't turn over most stubborn Axe-hatin' Cast Fortefighters and perhaps some Cast Fighgunners, I don't know what will.

This is first PA with 22% Dark Axe on light enemy.
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2/puppy14/psu20061211_173646_004.jpg
This is second PA with Dark Axe.
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2/puppy14/psu20061211_173650_007.jpg
This is first PA with 44% Ice Axe on fire enemies.
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2/puppy14/psu20061211_173911_020.jpg
This is second PA (critical) with Ice Axe.
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2/puppy14/psu20061211_173912_021.jpg

Now just imagine lvl 21 Axe, where I hit those numbers 4 more times on two enemies (twice on each). Axes are quite possibly one of the best weapons, if not the best. Of course many 0's come up, but Cast ATA and units make up for that. I almost never see double 0's now (saw tons when I first synthed the things).

[ViciousXUSMC]

will help once we get accuracy buff, ill be sure to put it on anybody with an ax in my party http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

i failed all 3 of my mayrods (the 8* rod) with a 54% chance so that was like 320k down the drain. sucks that neu ash/ebon is so rare the grm stuff will have been so much cheaper to make by stocking up on like 200-300 meseta par ash pre patch. neu ash is almost always 900 meseta in shops.
