I actually appreciate the gold sink aspect of it as it prevents prices from spiraling out of control like they did for (post-meseta-dupe) PSU.

They're still kind of outrageous, but that's more a matter of an absurd disconnect between supply and demand for certain rares than anything else.

DOODOOOOOOOOOO! Failed upgrading my Tuna sword from +2 to +4 about 8 consecutive times. NOT COOL MAN.

On the plus side, I got Fang soul and ShootIII on my Tigredor, first try. Guess the karma balanced out.

EDIT: Heh. Found the log:

All this for a +4 Tuna sword =_= We should start a "grinding fails" thread...

[PhantasmalSage]

Got Fang Soul & Shoot III on my Tigredore. Though... grinding is going terrible.
Got Fang Soul & Shoot III on my Rappy Cannon and on my Alva Laser and both to +10 yippee.

Dropped my Tigredor. Dropped couple of vol scales. Dropped 8* wired lance.

Got another Spread Legacy

I do not understand why grinding, synthesising or adding abilities costs meseta at all. It already costs you grinders, synthesisers and a weapon altogether all of which at a success rate below 10%. The meseta fee is such a bad idea...

It's a service charge from Dudu.

decided to grind my patty lumeria which was at +8 for a while without grind protections for shits and giggles (well i had grind protect -1, but that does nothing) and i got it to +10 with two grinds, hooray! now for vol soul to stick and i'm ready for the dragon islands.

Have you played any other MMO?

Consider the Affix items + Grinders as just extra money. If you think about it this way the cost then becomes the same idea as scrolls/ enhancement things in other games. Instead of having those stupid items and stuff like 50% scrolls, 60%, etc... you just have it split into different parts. This I'd say it works much better as overall it IS much cheaper. I mean affix items and grinders are quite damn cheap even though you fail alot (to balance it out). I don't want stupid stuff like scrolls costing a shit ton then just out right failing.

Think of it as a fee to hire him to make your stuff better

[Heat Haze]

After what seemed like a crazy idea, I decided to do it.

I managed to get Garland with the affixes of Ragne Soul, Technic III, and Mutation. Just to help my OCD and break that 600 T-ATK mark. Worked on the first attempt, the success rates were 50%, 60%, and 50% without modifier and all of them managed to transfer over which I was thrilled about. (Used the 5%+ thing because.. well, every percent counts).

I wasted about 400k, and even then about half of that came from player shops buying what I needed. Technique III with 3 affix slots is not cheap. I could make it myself but I can imagine it costing more than to just buy knowing my usual luck.

[Alenoir]

Pretty sure I've used up all my luck with this drop.
