Kubara Articles, What do they do?

[FenderReplica]

Apart from having a fixed sucess rate for their synthesis, what are the benifits of using Kubara Articles as they are usually weaker in stats than their original counterparts?

[SabZero]

They look good, no branding on them. What? *runs off*

[ljkkjlcm9]

typically grind better and have lower requirements to use

THE JACKEL

[Vhex]

Much higher PP in most cases. Also they grind significantly better.

Kubara weapons, the ones that grind well but has lower base stats don't have static synth %s. The ones that do are the unique kubaras such as deljabaner, etc, not the "modified" versions of the brand name weapons.

Sure they do. They have the automatic "WTF? 30% less synth-rate chance?" modifier build in. Or whatever it is... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

My synth rate sucks enough that I don't try them anymore. Maybe when I'm level 70 and happen to be rolling in the Mesetas and Kubara Wood, then I will start messing about with it. Not till then.

If only it were that easy x_x Luckily there's only 6* and 8* kubaras that fall into that category. Gathering 9 rates for each level is drive anyone insane (more for melee weapons though...).

[Corran1]

for example, the falcon rifle board + kubara wood = riflic

the riflic is not as good as the falcon (6* B weps)
however, the riflic passes the falcon soon after grinding

riflic +10 is about 600 Att
falcon +10 is about 560 Att
Phantom (9* rifle) +0 is about 540 Att

also, they have slightly diff. appearances

Well I'm happy with my Bullet Masteric http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif They do look much better than evil twins X.X Those are ugly.

[Itsuki]

You can use the melee ones for their awesome 10% less damage with PAs.

[Corran1]

oh, and the phantom combo (phantom rifle + phantomline armor) = more damage then falcon +10 or riflic +10

I would like to know if 6* Kubara melee weapons are available. I've seen pictures of them on at PSO Weapon Viewer (http://pwv.sakura.ne.jp/) but I was unable to use Kubara wood when I was synthing a Survivor dagger like I did when I made my Riflic by substituting Par Ash on a Falcon board.

Is this a feature unique to the Japanese PC/PS2 server, or has Sonic Team merely not released it on the 360 one?
