"This is exactly the issue I wanted to discuss with you. Following our current line of thought, the success rate for enhancing equipment with the Ultimate Enhancement Machine may not meet our requirements."
At that moment, Hikari spoke up again.
The clones all frowned upon hearing this.
"After all, if they are merely magical items possessing extraordinary power, their success rate is nowhere near as low as that of extraordinary items infused with Extraordinary Characteristics."
The clones let out a collective sigh of relief. So it was nothing after all. Why did he have to pause so dramatically...
"By then, forget +13. Aside from exceptions like Su Xiao, the odds of a normal person successfully enhancing all the way to +500 would probably be far higher than the odds of hitting a soft pity in the Mi Pool."
"How could that be acceptable? If equipment can reach +500 without breaking, does it still have a soul?"
Noah sprang to his feet.
"And successfully reaching +500 isn't just about the soul of the enhancement success rate. The sense of accomplishment from every successful enhancement level would also be severely diluted!"
"Lower it! It must be lowered! When it comes to the curve between equipment enhancement success rates and the psychological expectations tied to each level, I think we should trust those timeless classics!"
"Seconded!" xN
"But the problem is, for High Sequence members of The Hermit pathway, crafting this involves no difficulty or complexity whatsoever. Lowering the enhancement success rate won't actually be that easy."
Creating this kind of mystical magical item without Extraordinary Characteristics was basically the same as making a talisman. There was only one threshold: being capable of doing it. Even Klein could manage it.
Hikari had already managed to put together an assembly line for mass-producing talismans.
