Wow! You tried grinding 3 times and couldn't get it past three?? That is horrible luck! I mean you should have at least, AT LEAST, gotten it to +8 with those grinders....

i wasnt gonna grind all the way. i was just gonna do the first 3 grinds because its ment to be guarented, very high, very high.


the point in this topic though is the fact that it broke on a guarented.
i was just asking if anyone knows why it could of happened. maby the grid is wrong or maby kubara weapons have a worse grind chance or something:S

While it has never happened to me, I have heard of people failing grinds that were described as "No chance of failure".

Thatīs because the grind is not 100 %
Itīs actually maybe 2-3 % less.

From what i figured out since all grinding i have done, its very rarely i have failed on with that status message.
So thatīs why i have come to this conclusion.

Yea, just cause it says No Chance of Failure, doesn't mean it won't fail. 'No Chance of Failure' is a range of 95%-100% chance of succeeding. Just wasn't your day.

This is absolutely true. Check out PSUpedia's weapon grinding page for the % ranges for the different things the grinder women say.

Kinda like synthesizing a weapon with 3* and a 99% chance, and then having ydral come out
