    Cursed gear(adaman) Subs Question

    Hello,

    I know this is a very bad question, but I figured I'd go ahead and ask . I'm a smith and I am planning on synthing the adaman set. Almost every site I visit lists subs for the cursed gear as "?". I was wondering if there are any sources that give specific level requirements for this. When crafting I plan to test with guild items from cloth and gold. So knowing the specifics would help a lot. thank you

    Just level them to 60, it's not hard.

    I think the crafter was more interested in Tiers to figure out HQ rates as he says he is testing with guild items from cloth and gold (implying he has put a lot of time and care in gp items for his subs).

    Here's a little trick for ESTIMATING the sub levels.

    If a synth has a subcraft, look at the materials. For the materials specific to that subcraft, look at the level caps needed to synth that item from raw materials. Subtract about 10 levels and that's usually the craft's sub +-5 levels. I know it's not exact, but it's decent for ballparking it. If you don't have those subcrafts leveled yet, when leveling them you could always test a few synths around the 'calculated' level and see if you skillup

    Also, find other recipes that use similar ingredients, and you'll probably get a good estimate of the subcraft level.

    In any case, the head, feet, and hands are all 11-tier HQs with capped subcrafts. The body and legs are both out of range for 11-tier in the main craft, so the subcrafts are trivial. So, just cap everything and you're set. ^^

    All subs are 59-60, I skilled up gold from 59-60 on more than one of the Adaman pieces.

    He's talking about cursed adaman.

    Assuming the poster above you is right about some hands/feet/head being tier1, you got that mixed up.

    If he's wrong (fairly positive that he's right), then I apologize, and disregard this post entirely.

    Cursed Adaman (the war/drk/bst set which hq's into Armada) has the following caps: Feet 93, Hands 94, Head 95, Legs and Body 96. These are in no way to be confused with the regular Adaman set, in which the pieces cap anywhere from 97 to 103. For those, yes, I can guarantee that those are 60 goldsmithing subcraft, as listed on several sites.

    For the cursed Adaman though, I think the main reason there are no subcraft numbers listed is that few people in their right mind would attempt to synth such materials without having their skills close to or at cap. And, if they are tier 1, as I have reason to suspect (having gone 2/10 combined on hands and feet so far), then the subcrafts are no higher than 49. Therefore, to get an accurate read, someone would have to synth a piece of cursed Adaman with a subcraft at 48 or lower, which is just ree-dick-ulous. :D

    there's nothing worse than actually getting a KB pull and win, and seeing 2 e legs in the loot pool.

    I think getting Hogg and getting 2 N.Legs is worse.
