Anyone here actually manage to get decent success rates after going Mechanic? It seems like the skill is completely broken now once you job change. Shouldn't the game take in consideration what job level you got as a 2nd class and not your current job level? I mean why should my forge and upgrading rate DROP just because I decided to EVOLVE into the next job class. Thank god I moved up in the blacksmith rankings BEFORE renewal but it looks like I wont ever be making any more weapons for anyone anymore at this rate.

Also, does anyone know if they changed the forging formula in any way in renewal? I'm getting reports from people who used to forge ok previously, failing consistently now.

Black Smiths, rather Pure Forge or Battle, should just stay as a Black Smith/Master Smith, the Mechanic is a Useless POS, and you can't even use the non 3rd class skills.

They need to create a class downgrade stone just for the Mechanic, that's how crappy it is.

Gravity loathes the idea of making any craft skill that isn't potting useful.

The fact that they didn't even think about the job 70 vs job 50 thing tells you how much they care about forging. If anything, it should ADD the 3rd job level to the 2nd.

I'd really like someone to clarify on this. I had a 99/70 MS and decided to turn into a mechanic just to test the upgrade rates. I took 10 Main Guaches and upgraded them. 4 broke going to +8 while the other 6 broke on +10. Then I took 3 and NPC upgraded them. They all broke going to +9.

Some of my guild mates felt that my rates are the same but I still think it's hard to say.

This was on a 100/1 mechanic btw.

It's already been confirmed on both kRO and jRO that Mechanics have a lower success rate with the weapon upgrade skill, due to them having lower job levels than Mastersmiths. I believe jRO mentioned about getting a fix for this, but I don't know if their fix was jRO localized, or if they made kRO fix it.

Bad luck?

My upgrading success seems to be better as a 105/15 mech than it was as a 99/70 MS.
