Pure PM Synth Percents

[Maridia]

There's a tongue twister for you.

Anyway, I'm thinking of making a pure striking PM, but I remember seeing in other threads people mentionning the percents of a pure PM on certain star weapons. I checked, and on my PM with 74 striking had the exact same percents. Not to mention her battle level is almost to 50 and climbing fast.

Does the percentile difference get very different in 10 or above star weapons, maybe? Or is it not worth it for me to waste my time making a pure PM. I could make a lot of money off of all those weapons I've been synthing and finding. (I refuse to make a bajillion new chars to take their items for food, that's ungodly boring and tedious)

Is it worth it? Or will a 74 striking PM be enough. All the percents for synthing weapons that are currently available to us seem to be the same, so.. What do all you more knowledgeable people say?

A Strk P.M. has a higher chance of success than a comparable Rng. or TECH P.M. That is probably why you notice that your 74 Strk P.M. has similar percentages for success to what others have mentioned for their pure P.M.s.

If you did raise a pure Strike P.M. your success rates would in fact be higher than they currently are.

Yes, it must be bad game design.....

;<

But the numbers quoted for pure striking PMs were the EXACT same as for mine. At least, for 7 and 8 star weapons, that is. I'm guessing as the star levels get higher, the difference will probably become more apparent?

Damn, I could've made a lot of money off of all that PM food I've been saving up. <_<

[Reiichi]

And what % do you have for 8* striking weapons?

MOST of the weapons with 100 pure striking have a 61% success rate.

Swords and I'm not sure which others are an exception, with only 54%. All 8* guns and tech weapons I've seen so far have only been 54% also.

Now, a 78 striking PM will likely have about 7% less of a success rate than a pure 100 striking PM. Perhaps this solves the mystery?

[Maridia]

Hm, perhaps the figures I saw quoted were false then! ;o

It was stated that a pure striking PM had a 59% chance at 7 and 54% at 8, which is what my PM has. If that isn't true, then I can see why I was a bit confused. XD

7 whole percent, huh? I suppose that can make quite the difference. Though, frankly, my PM has failed 98%s in the past, so... <_< I still wish the synthing system was a little less evil.

[Reiichi]

Try out a sword and see what % you get. I know my sword is 54% for an 8* with 100 striking.
Double saber, twin saber, twin dagger, and spear I know for sure are 61%.

[Maridia]

That would involve me having an 8 star sword board. And since my class can't currently use swords, I don't think I'm gonna splurge that kind of cash right now. @_@ I know my 7 star twin daggers were 59% and the mijin misaki I got for a friend were at 54%. I haven't really been emptying my account on expensive new boards just yet. Just a bit.

It was stated wrong. Assuming your not synthing "special" weapons the following is accurate ( I have a 100 Tech PM and a 100 Range PM and my friend has a 100 Strike PM just so you know I'm not just using what others have said).

A 100 Strike PM will give you 61% on 8*'s.
A 100 Tech PM will give you 54% on 8*'s.
A 100 Ranged PM will give you 54% on 8*'s.

Would anyone who is knowledgeable in item synthesizing say that it makes a difference to have a pure striking PM compared to the 75 striking, 25 technique half-assed version? I want to know if the time I would invest in a pure striking PM would be worth it. Creating a pure armor PM was the biggest waste of my life.

For most elemental melee weapons...

With 75 Stike:
1* 90%
2* 90%
3* 90%
4* 90%
5* 78%
6* 72%
7* 60%
8* 54%
9* 48%

With 100 Strike:
1* 90%
2* 90%
3* 90%
4* 90%
5* 85%
6* 79%
7* 67%
8* 61%
9* 55%

[Jinto117]

Wow! That is very insightful, thank you!

Confirmed, except for kubara and special weapons, which vary.
