Pulled From: http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/ ... t_we_know/

Overall Conclusion:
  • Gear will SB 19 levels below the mobs' level and 18 levels above
  • Bonding 'peaks' at exactly 10 levels below the mob
  • Bonding 15-8 levels below the mob gives a huge increase to SB rate
  • Overall bonding seems to have gotten a nice boost until you bond items 8 levels over the mob

Testing on a pack of 9 level 37 monsters in Coerthas, here's what the poster found.

NOTE: This is a result of a single pull of all 9 mobs. 9 monsters total... pretty shocking.

i17 Hard Leather Shep's Belt ~ 1% (no bond)
i18 Brass Ring of Craft ~ 3%
i19 Cotton Coif of Gat ~ 7%
i20 Cotton Workgloves ~ 11%
i21 Cotton Doublet Vest of Craft ~ 15%
i22 Goatskin Espadrilles ~ 18%
i23 Velveteen Bandana ~ 21%
i24 Iniate's Gown ~ 22%
i25 Silver Magnifiers ~ 24%
i26 Velveteen Coatee of Craft ~ 26%
i27Velveteen Wedge Cap of Craft ~ 28%
i28 Velveteen Half Apron ~ 26%
i29 Silver Chocker ~ 24%
i30 Velveteen Gown ~ 16%
i31 Steel Goggles ~ 15%
i32 Velveteen Doublet V of C ~ 14%
i33 Linen Halfgloves ~ 12%
i34 Myhtril Magnifiers ~ 11%
i35 Wolf Earrings ~ 10%
i36 Mythril Gorget ~ 9%
***i37 Mythril Ring ~ 8%
i38 Linen Shortgloves ~ 8%
i39 Linen Bliaud ~ 8%
i40 Woolen Sash ~ 7%
i41 Woolen Dress Gloves ~ 7%
i42 Boarskin Toolbelt ~ 7%
i43 Boarskin Survival ~ 7%
i44 Cobalt Preserves ~ 6%
i45 Felt Coif of Gat~ 4%
i46 Electrum Wrists of Craft ~ 4%
i47 Electrum Ring of Craft ~ 3%
i48 Tourmaline Chocker ~ 3%
i49 Electrum Choker ~ 3%

So if you want to SB something item level 70, target dungeons that drop i70 gear (BF Speed Runs). If you want to SB something that is item level 90, target dungeons that drop i90 gear (Turn 4)

In other words. A pull of water sprites that used to give around maybe a 2-3% of SB for crafting accessories will probably give 8-9% now.

And it'll give 3% for a set of i55 crafted gear, which is a boost, as well.

The nerf to i70s not dropping a guaranteed turn 4 sucks for some people, but overall, SBing is going to be so damned easy now. Time to start crafting crap for my boxing team :D

Basically it's a huge buff to SBing if you specifically want to SB. Like if you set off for an afternoon with 5 full sets of gear to SB, and you pick an appropriate place to do it, you'll SB way faster than you ever could pre "nerf".

This really only effects the people equipping lower level gear for Expert Roulettes, Syrcus Tower and Coil trash (and sometimes coil bosses, as a result of forgetting :P).

So you'll get less SB % doing the above mentioned things. But on the other hand, you're basically getting 3% SB per individual monster kill if you're targetting something deliberately well-suited for the gear.

That being said, there will be less Tier 4s per "convert" as an average, but the increased amount of "converts" as a result of increased SB times may even that out. Only time will tell on that one.
