You 'only' get 50 for the mech skills. The only reason trans needed 70 is because they had skills from previous job (in this case blacksmith) and some new ones to choose from. Trust me you wont spend the 50 points if you go for axes and if you go mado you wont have major problems deciding what you want and what you dont.

At job 50, the rates are the same as NPC, while at job 70, they are higher than the NPC.
This is also an issue with potting and forging, because in both of those, job level adds a 0.2%/level boost, so those 20 job levels chops 4% off of the success rate, which, while it may sound small to someone who has never potted/forged, is HUGE, and people have spent >100m zeny to get boosts of under 1% from better gear!

I Stand corrected though and hope it gets investigated in some way or another.

On Sakray with a 99/70 it took about 90 tries to get 1 BG weapon to +9.
---
Did it on BG weapons again:
94 +5 58 +6 26 +7 13 +8 4 +9 0
Need to go somewhere right now so can't continue, but from the look of it, if you want to upgrade, stick with a Mastersmith.

The issue is that the success rate of Upgrade Weapon is dependent on player job level.
At job 50, the rates are the same as NPC, while at job 70, they are higher than the NPC.
This is also an issue with potting and forging, because in both of those, job level adds a 0.2%/level boost, so those 20 job levels chops 4% off of the success rate, which, while it may sound small to someone who has never potted/forged, is HUGE, and people have spent >100m zeny to get boosts of under 1% from better gear!
would be nice if you could change the formula a little bit so turning into a mechanic doesn't nerf upgrading or forging.
boosting the rate in general would help. Weaponry Research is a forging only skill in renewal, so make it add more success rate. and add a small forumla "if user is mechanic class add an extra 5-10% success rate"
thx
