Learn about Smithery and Crafting costs, success rates, and NPC unlocks in Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. Includes IC support item locations.
Creation Cost: The formula for creation cost is (1+a+b)x, where 'x' is the base cost (10% of the total value), 'a' represents combined cost modifiers, and 'b' is a random variable ranging from -0.05 to 0.05.
Initial Chance of Success: The initial chance of success is calculated as c+d-e, where 'c' is the combined skill levels, 'd' is the bonus from IC (Item Creation) support items like Multi-Flask (worth 20), and 'e' is the item rating.
Refining Cost: Refining cost is determined by the formula (1+a+b)y/n, where 'y' is the total value of all factors combined, and 'n' is the number of factors.
Synthesis Cost: Synthesis cost follows the formula (1+a+b)(v+t)/m, where 'v' is the total value of all factors in the consumed item, 't' is the total value of the receiving item (base item value + y), and 'm' is the number of factors in the consumed item.
