I just picked up a Justice with -5% machine... had no idea this was even possible? This gives new meaning to the phrase "junk rares" >_>

(This is PSOBB by the way)

I didn't notice the -5% until I tekked it... honestly I get so many of these I forget what percents they have.

The only thing I did differently this time was I left it in my bank for an hour, untekked, until I took it out to tekk it and cash it in for a team point. I don't remember checking the percent before tekking it. Obviously I kept it after seeing the really wierd negative percent.

You need to be careful when tekking a weapon because tekkers have a range of -10% - +10%. In your case, it looks like you had a Justice with 5% and the tekker gave you a -10% rating.

I didn't know there was a trick to this... So I should wait on tekking things and try at different times? If theres some sort of guide I'd love to read it.

Its completely at random when tekking. If it turns out your wep is going down on percents, reject him and try again. If nothin changes, try tekking with another char... And if that dont work...

Yeah its totally random, but that is to say, if you can't get a good percent with the guy you are tekking it with, YOU WILL get a good percent if you keep doing it... on and on and on... not that its hard to get meseta.

Just pay attention to the original % and then keep going until you get the +10%. Unless its like the 100th varista you have found and you are just going to Team Point it anyways of course....

If you find a weapon you know you're going to point, point it two seconds after you find it, while you're still on Ragol, without bothering to tekk it. You can identify what weapon it is by having someone equip it, or check the dropcharts. In the pointing-screen you can see the number of stars on the weapon (9 stars is 1 point, if it doesn't have hit either, point it).

If you want to keep a weapon and it has percentages, just keep tekking it until you get a +10% tekk.

Like was said, just keep rejecting until you find +10%.
