    I have a smither in the 70s, if this hasn't been resolved by the time I hit 85 I'll throw some money at one of the "theoretically 101+" adaman pieces.

    Listed at 101 skill, that information must must have come from somewhere? As previously stated I never saw the need to check since it was tier 0 regardless. (sorry about the wrong wiki).

    I wouldn't take much stock in the "had to come from somewhere" theory. I remember WAYYYYYYYYYY back when i hit 100 Bone the Genie weskit was listed as 101. I am assuming that since talons are cheap as shit now that someone tried it and figured out the correct cap.

    As for the break theory, the original post was for a Thalassacoat (bad spelling I know), which has 2 subs which gives it a considerable break rate anyway.

    you could just use the old "crafting while engaged" trick to find out when you can attempt the synth w/o risking your items. no money required. easy to test if you have the right skill to try it.

    You can also use the guild support NPCs as a gauge of the crafting range though I don't remember what's the exact range.

    The best evidence I have is that I did not get a single skill up from a break-synth on Panther Masks until I hit 97. As soon as I hit I was skilling up on breaks every other break. Between 95 and 96.9 I had around 30 breaks - none of which provided a skill up.

    Could just be bad luck, but for me that was good enough to say it's 102 (I corrected the previous 103 estimate on otherwiki when I did it).

    I'm surprised you've been crafting this long without knowing many recipes are 100+. It can be demonstrated easily with the sitting/no sitting method and skillups on breaks. Like Daniel, I can personally confirm Panther Masks to be 102 as I got skillups upon breaking them at 97.
    But I wouldn't be surprised if some of the level caps were incorrect in the usual English reference sites (seeing as Panther Mask is listed 103 in FFXIah...).

    From the new update, it seems Silver cassandra, Thalassaocrat and Wootz amood are 100+. If we have anyone in the 85s or 95+ who would be willing to try those...

    Not too much I can contribute being a chef and all but this was the end result of a decently long sushi run(2 other stacks of +1 squid and dozens of nq sushi stacks had already sold):

    Highest craft is cooking, but once upon a time I used to be a miner, and leveled goldsmithing to 49 to support that.

    I made me a spiffy pair of republic knuckles. Yes, its a lv 19 recipe, but that is the first useful HQ I ever made :D

    Usually only things I HQ are buffalo jerky and coeurl sautee.

    also: why does the forum keep asking me to log in somewhere?
