smithing 85-90

[Matzu]

Just a question for all smithing ppl out there. u guys think it will be worth it to do adaman ingot starting from 85? I am sure there is gonna be tons of adaman ore lost. but compare to the slow sell and the garuntee money lost for whatever those 2 GA, adaman ingot is like 10-20k profit based on the market right now. 85+2 gear+3 support just bring u to the cap of adaman ingot . I got to 85 by crafting adaman ingot to sheet from 83 with 0 lost of adaman ingot ( i think only like 2 blew up but didnt lost material, never use support only wearing my glove and arpon) dont want to spend too much money now, cuz my goldsmithing stuck at myhtril level lol....
P.S i think smithing is just no hope >.>......

Well at 84 I can tell you I am bouncing back and forth between ingots & kensadas +1.

Of coarse I took a small break to go back and cap the rest of my subs.

85+2+3=90. Not sure why you think there will be many Adaman Ores lost. 5% break rate (say you lose 200k average each time) vs 5k profit 95% of the time. (10k - 5k AH tax).

.05(-200) + .95(5) = -10 + 4.75 = -5.25k

So, on average, you're losing approximately -5,250 gil every synth, according to those numbers.
