Your Worst Synth/Grinding Failures....

[MomoHana]

Failing at Deljabaner. T-T Aboslutely horrible when I saw a Rataride come out
.

What about you guys?

[Chris28]

failing a hardline and phantomline....bye bye 400K....but my next phantomline worked.

[Guitarsmasher]

this isnt so bad, but out of 5 8* weps, 3 failed today T_T , tht was my worst eva thankfully

[Pengfishh]

Two Doublesabers failed so far, and I broke my 38% Fire Twin Ripper grinding.

[Ryoki]

Hmm... Apparently I have been pretty lucky. I gotta say the worst thing ever wasn't expensive, it was simply retarded since it should have worked with ease. I broke 4 fire *3 Tenora Fists trying to get them to 5.Half broke before 4.

BTW: the deljibaner descrip. is currently seriously F*cked up. It say like "A easy to use saber with popular. Probably."
WTF? O_O

[Tahldon]

Only getting 2 out of 9 Tomoirods at 74% from a level 83 pure tech PM sure makes one want to kick kittens!

>.< But she'll make Alteric bows at 39% that's so bass ackwards!

[BloodDragoon]

5* hunter weapons that came out as either fruit juice or mixed juice. Really. WTF?!

[PALRAPPYS]

3 Canara synths all on the same board. Plus a Hajirod synth failing. Luckily the other 2 worked! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Too bad one of them broke on a grind to 3. XD On a 2* luck day too.

[Ryoki]

I remember failing a low level synth, and getting a scape from the failure. That rocked.

[hallothar]

deljaban blade too. that sucked so much. thats what you get with 21%btw this is Yoshitsune >.>

[Randomness]

Two dual railguns in a row with 73% success...

[SolomonGrundy]

I regularly fail to get all five 1* items from my level 10 mag (all ten levels in melee weapons).

Supposedly a 85+% chance, and I was using plain/grren photons in many cases (uping the % to 92+)

I have nothing ground to higher than +4...too much of a wimp to risk my precious weapons.

[SonicTMP]

failed 4 bone dance in a row followed by a sword board i was trying to clear out of my PM failed.

[Holo]

with my lvl 100 Pm I failed a neutral 1* saber with a 98% chance of sucess pretty horrible huh.

Huh. A ranks love me, they always work (so far.) Yet guns absolutly hate me.

[Carbinne]

I think my worst one was blowing up one of my Blaster +6s when I accidently selected it instead of a fresh one to grind up with w/ a C+1. Oops! Well, it would have been pretty hilarious if it worked, but... thankfully by that time I had already started using B rank rifles, so it was not a real loss.

[SolomonGrundy]

Wow, I am sad (in a newb kinda way)

Saved up 4.5K for a claymore board. Then I successfully crafted a claymor (yay, right?)

broke going form 2->3 on a luck 2 day with a C+4 grinder. Now that, boys and girls, is some bullll sheeeet.

[HC82]

I failed a good 7 out of 9 times making 8* weapons with 54% success rate. I've been having a bad streak now.

[Dj_SkyEpic]

my success over failed rate... 9/21

for only 8* items.

[Carbinne]

What exactly is the failure -- er, success rate for the deljabaner/del jagnus with a maxed out strike PM?

[Lastat27]

Gigaline: Ban-Photon 56% - Fail
Gigaline: Ban-Photon 56% - Fail
Gigaline: Ban-Photon 56% - Fail
Gigaline: Ban-Photon 56% - Success

Phantom Line: Photon 51% - Fail
Phantom Line: Photon 51% - Fail
Phantom Line: Photon 51% - Fail
Phantom Line: Photon 51% - Fail
Phantom Line: Gra-Photon 44% - Success

With my 100 armor PM, these are the only two armors I have tried to synth myself. It is absolutely not worth the risk. These... synthesis success rates... completely destroy my nerves sometimes. I spent 1.2 of my 1.5 mil getting this damn Phantom Line synthed. And it's only worth 210k (at least in the next patch.)

Before I'm told how stupid I was for wasting time on a Phantom Line instead of Sori-senba, I think the added damage and accuracy this armor gives to 9 star Phantom Rifles will make this armor priceless for Fortegunners.

This is probably gonna happen to me, it has a 21% success rate. Wish me luck http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Hrith]

I found an Asami-zashi (7-star dagger) board in Neudaiz, so I thought I should try to make them since I have a striking PM.

71% success rate, all three attempts failed; I'm done with synthesizing, definitely.

[Vorpal]

Breaking 6 Lances, none of them getting past 6.

[Ryoki]

Agh, Shintsuki Zashi Failed, and my deljabaner failed too. BTW: I feel like neutering all those stupid bastards selling blades for over 50k, and everyone using their shop as (STORAGE) and not setting a password. F*cking shops.

[Garnet_Moon]

14 Twin Crea Sabers broken in a row with 94% chance to succede.

Yeah, I cut myself alot during that week and almost took the blade to my game disc... >_>

WTF! That's worse than killing 8 pal rappies in a row and not getting a red handgun from the 1/2 drop rate! Which I did!

[ShadowHado]

I make 8* weapons everyday, anywhere from 3-6 different attempts... Bone Dance, Jogiri, Nokoku-Zashi, Mijin-Misaki...

But nothing was worse than last Sunday, failing 3 Bone Dance, a Jogiri and a Nokoku-Zashi. BAH!

Haven't had that bad of luck since. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[darkknight090]

how bout failing 2 out of 3 on double sabers
and broken a b class duel saber on my 4th attempted grind.

[DarkSeph]

Worst so far.....Tengoh Bow failure http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Bobkitty]

failed 6 times on Rabol Solid, broke a Del Jagnus and Deljabaner grinding, also failed del jagnus 3 times.. in the end I have both grinded up decently.

It always hurts when failing or breaking, but in the end we'll have what we have and if it wasnt for the fails or breaks, we'd have EVERYTHING.

Goddamn, you broke two? I remember seeing that the deljabaner doesn't grind too well, like it's stats don't go up much. Is that true?

[Bobkitty]

Oh too true man.. I now have both up to +5 and that's just more of a 'hey look at me' sort of thing.. each grind barely does a thing. I think it was like +3 - 5 on atp and PP, per grind.

[Garnet_Moon]

I just lost a Ryo-Crezashi at 94% success rate.

...and I bought all the mats for pretty darn expensive bc I didn't feel like shopping around.

...

why do I even try anymore. -_-

[Merumeru]

6* TEN spear at 59% after buying the board from a NPC and having the materials in storage...

...yah I don't synth much because of the possibility of having a horror story like these XD

[Witchblade56]

I broke two sori-senbas lastnight.....

Nough said >:(

[Wheatpenny]

I had a Creasaud broke on a 89% chance. And I still curse Sega for it to this day.

[ZodiacNKnight]

I broke a 6* Machinegun grinding to 2 with a B+1!
Then broke a 6* Saber grinding it to 3 with a B+4!
Seriously... I'm going to jump over that damn counter and trash the grinder shop.

[Witchblade56]

Eh i wunna strangel my armor PM >:[ She better put out when i get home or else im going to throttle her >.>

[SolomonGrundy]

Has anyone tested the theory that female CAST luck influences synth?

I made a bunch of +7/+8/+9 grinders on a cast +2 luck day, and since have not managed anything over +6

[Witchblade56]

It actually does state at psupedia that cast luck does not affect synthesis outcomes on your PM [which i think they should change given that cast fems dont get good level 3 luck much at all]. It only affects the frequency of rare item drops/rare monster spawns.

[-Dainslef-]

About a week ago, I got PM-bombed. Bad enough, right?

Well, I had 4 8*-synths running at the time, with around 60% success rate. Being that success rate is determined when the item is first put in, the bombing didn't hurt. Hey, I could at least get some money to rebuild my PM with.

All 4 synths failed.

[drizzle]

I don't believe synth rate is determined when you put the item in, but when you take it out. It changes if the PM is upgraded after you start synthing.

[Alpha-Hunter]

Synthed an alteric bow first try with like a 58% chance. it worked! broke it though trying to grind it from 1 to 2 with a B+7! Other 2 attemps to snyth failed!!!! oh, and one of the 3 attempts (the 2nd) was the regular 6* bow with an over 80% chance!

[Dragon_Knight]

A full board of bone dances, and so far one 7 star armor...takes 30 ortacorbons for god sake. >_< But yea...thats my worst and some walking Pannon room decorations...why in gods name I keep failing those is beyond me 8 failed Pannons and counting.

[DRO]

failed 3 machingucs in a row FU** Kubara!!

[MomoHana]

For me it's better to have low % for some reason...I get higher success with lower % weird eh?

[drizzle]

I just failed a dagger that had a 98% rate. I swear, it's failure rate, not success rate http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif
It was PM food anyway, but still... lol

[Cracka_J]

I used to fail the 5* assino zashi's alot, and my last 8* ko(somthing) zashi's went 1/3. However, my strike pm seems to be happy to make 8* guns at 23%, my last evil twin board went 2/3 with an evil twin and kubara guns successful.

[Dragonkat]

out of my last 9 attempts I got ONE GD 7* claw. That worthless PM of mine has now failed...

2 bulbs in a row.
2 6* GRM twins in a row
3 6* kubara twins in a row
1 7* claw

25 rng and str if anyones wondering, not that high or low stats seem to matter anyway.

Every one of those had a 44-57% chance too. EIGHT *%&@*!& failures out of nine attempts isn't blankity blanking 44%!!! Sure it resets for every attempt but this synth system is really just grade A bull**** how it works.

I don't even want to think of attempting anything rare and watching me grind my ass off for 15 goldanias, or buy them from overpriced player shops, just to see a monomate 3 hours later.

Forget the "hax" and the content issues, if anything wants to make me quit PSU it's this idiocy.
