What am I doing wrong???

Alternate items like that are often formed when putting in lower-grade items than the weapon itself. An example of this... the Granarod board offline... if you use anything other than Kerseline in the ??? slot, it'll come out a Slyrod (when successfuly), instead of the Granarod. That's why it's always safest to put in materials that are equal in star-rarity to the item you're trying to produce. If you can't, then just put in as high as is possible... that's what I've made sense of synthesizing from my minor experience with it. I try to dig into the mechanics of these thinks and make hypothesises around what I've seen, they seem to be accurate so far.
