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.
