XI Wiki
Or is it just me?
Had 2 consecutive weeks of AA so I've been grinding WWing. So far I think Im at 99.8 or .9 wwing and 53 smithing.
Up until kupofrieds kicked in I managed to make 10 adaman ingots last a solid 25+ synths, breaking so many times I was amazed at how much money I was saving.
Finally I am at this last one or two skillups when kupofrieds kicks in and blam, in 2 days I have successfully not only lost 6/6 of my adaman ingots, but not a single wwing skillup at all.
I have been told that the iron splitter ingot is supposed to have a dramatically lower break rate than the two walnut lumbers, thus allowing it to be break synthed easily, yet instead 5/6 of those breaks ALL I lost was the adaman ingot.
Anyone else finding AA not working at all for them or is this just a giant pile of shitty luck?

shitty luck. admittedly, i hit 100 woodworking in like 04, but my last level, i had a run of .6 in 10-11 synths, and then another 15 synths w/o a skillup.

Didn't think signet was needed, just the support from the guild for AA to kick in, but maybe i'm mistaken.

I was under the impression signet was needed for all of them, but then my mule got the movement speed + without signet :/ Originally Posted by Herzins

I think its ass backwards.. I was trying to get a whole bunch of mythril ingots from desynthing earrings and broke 12/20 losing the earring every time in jeuno...... then went to whitegate and proceeded to waste 41 lightning crystals and 20 glacier crystals on the same 2 cerberus mantles before losing 1 on a desynth...... and i ran out of glacier crystals...
edit: yea yea yea.. i just realized that i had support for the leather part but not the gold one... whoops.

2010-05-14 10:20 #10HerzinsGuestWell, I don't know about that, this morning I decided to try a cerb mantle desynth, I first made a couple of Wivre Masks and both NQ... I then desynthed the same mantle 6 times, on 4th synth, I had a break but only the thread was lost, on 6th synth, I HQ'd the mantle!!!! Lord... why didn't I know about freaking signet before I lost 30mil trying.... Originally Posted by Zouri
