Alchemy success rate

First of all, I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before but I honestly FOUND NO GUIDES ON BECOMING AN ALCHEMIST.
(And if there actually isn't one, dibs on making one.)
I understand that alchemy is a much simpler profession to follow than blacksmith, but there's not even some of the basic stuff explained.
So :
1. Does having higher difficulty level than the one needed to create an item increase the success rate?
2. How does proficiency (not difficulty level) affect success rate of making items?
3. What does "success : 1" or "succes : 10" in item synthesis mean? (shows when selecting number of batches of item to make)
4. What parameters can I change so that I can get more of the same item on synthesising same number of times (e.g. get 8 revita iv instead of 5 or 6 on synthesising once).
5. How does tech affect synthesis of items?


If someone could answer any of those questions for me, it'd be very nice of you.
Thanks!

 

1) Having a higher difficulty level doesn't increase the success rate of item creation. Having tech stat and higher prof level than the item does

2)When your proficiency level gets higher than the item level, your success rate will increase

3)

4)You can't change it because it's the recipe. Ex: 4 Rev IV for 1 time synthesizing, 5 Rev III for 1 time synthesizing, etc

5)Tech increases your difficulty level and increses your success rate in making items

That's all i know, sorry if some answers are not 100% correct

 

I have an Alchemist but I only use it for making revitas xD... My answer in your question in no.3 is how many peices will be a success when creating stck of revita/vita+ etc..

I dunno much about the others :3 i hope this helps ^^"

 

no, but higher profiency level does that.
at the same time it also decreases the amount of exp you get.

success rate increases with profiency level.

the displayed number is the amount of items you get when synthesis is successful. the actual success rate is not shown.

you can't. some people say that luck stats do that, but this is not proven...

tech raises difficulty level (more than dex) so that you can craft high level items earlier (with lower profiency). it also increases success rate a little, but a high profiency level is still the best.

You want to be alchemist.
Max TECH and TECH only.
Max everything you see in alch tree.
You might want to make your alchemist a tech bs ( it's possible)
If that is your desire, max refine and upgrade equipment in bs tree, you will have to pass some skill I forgot it's name, leave it at 5, you are tech bs, you only do refine AND upgrade equipment.

 

That is actually the plan x3
........
Thanks a lot for the answers guys!

 

Isn't that the first skill in the tree? X3
