Pretty sure they do. I ended up going to Tavnazia to do one of the earlier PDT axe trials for my BST (kill bees under certain weather) since it didn't involve waiting for pertinent weather.

I have completed Kill Slimes during Dark Weather trials in Dyna-Jeuno.

Mobs in Dynamis-Tavnazia used to drop crystals too, but there was a change at some point that reverted Tav mobs to "Nightmare" status just like every other dreamlands zone. If you try to do Magian Trials there now, you will not get credit.

As cdgreg pointed out, BST pets in Dynamis zones still count (and are susceptible to killer effects/intimidation).

**Mercilessturtle** · 2012-10-07 08:57

That change would have to have been in the last update, because tav bees still worked shortly before it.

I have a ton of gear in the 14-75 range that I really don't need anymore. Should I bother AHing it or just NPC it?

**Taim Meich** · 2012-10-07 10:14

It, obviously, depends on the AH price of each individual piece.

It would be so much work and the longest process. Unless its gear thats still relevant (Darksteel, etc.) then NPC it. Nobody levels anymore. And nobody gears jobs <99. Save yourself the time and hassle.

Bonecraft has some enormously profitable synths right now. For instance, Mafai sold his last Hexed Jacked -1 for 220m. However, getting the levels and materials is difficult. Only 29 Staghorn Coral have sold on Slyph's AH since June 28th.

Goldsmithing has always been profitable. It's just been a completely gil-hog getting to high levels. However, as an example, turning geodes into gems could be very profitable.

Bonecraft is fairly easy to get to 103, hard to get to 107, and nearly impossible to get to 110.

Goldsmithing is expensive to 100, more expensive to 107, and 7m/synth (slyph) to get to 110. Expect it to take 40 synths to get a single level. So 107 - 110 is about 800m gil on Slyph. And the Hexed item it makes at that point sucks.

As the market sits right now, I think a 110 bonecrafter would make more money than a 110 goldsmither. However, over time I expect SE to add recipes to skew that more in gold's favor. Goldsmithing has always been the homerun craft. Big failures, but big returns.

Gold hasn't always made good money. It was at one time everyone got into it and powerlvld it and killed alot of the profits so now it's mostly when new recipes come up.

And flame geodes to gems has always been a loss over here. Like right now flame geodes are 90k. It's T3 so 50% HQ rate but it's HQ3 so 1/16. So looking at on average 2.88 mil when the gem sells for 2.5mil so a loss. If you turn it into a pyrosoul ring you might sell it for 3mil. Yay spending several mil and doing 32 synths and a synergy to make 100k lol.

Similar situation with vulcan pearl except you have to deal with huge loss NQs to hopefully get 6mil HQ. But seeing as it is a high lvl synergy I'd wager HQ rate is probably around 25% at best which would keep you still at a loss. It's probably part of the reason I see shouts for them a bit since it's a loss to make.

104 is where it stops being super easy. Though to 107 it isn't hard so much as slow getting those damn dragon scales though lately I've been seeing a stack or 2 so as soon as I mine up my turtles I should be hitting 107. Though that's probably likely to the fact that the prices have jumped from like 20k to 150k in about 2-3 weeks. 110 is easy on some servers but alas I only like 2 legion lss on this server and I don't have an in with either and people ah botting the materials for jacket lol. Only need 109 to start T1ing though. And if you can sell for 220mil a single HQ getting there should get you your money back lol

Goldsmithing... I wouldn't bother taking it past 104. And if you do don't go past 105. No point in doing 3-10 mil synths on stuff that wont sell that doesn't help your HQ rate. The feet however are pretty decent though I haven't seen any sell. But given that they cost over 5mil to make over here you'd have to charge alot to do them for what would be a side grade for af3 feet for ukkon war and I guess for the hardcore mythic drgs lol. Haven't seen any sold but I'm sure you could turn a profit on it. And the 100-200k synths to get to 104 aren't that bad

I think people have always overestimated gold. It's looked big until you do the math and see that once the hype of new item coming out with average HQ rates it's often a loss.

Thank you for the knowledgeable answers. We have a GS person here (Shadowkitty) but she's been away and may not return. My GS is also 30 already, too. But, it'd be nice to say I made my Hexed Jacket -1. Hmmm.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-10-07 14:50

Hexed Jacket is bone.

**Airenn** · 2012-10-07 16:21

Yes, I was saying that since we (sorta) have a reliable GS-er, I was leaning towards bone.

**buddyslack** · 2012-10-07 17:18

Does Summoning Skill effect Astral Flow damage? Just leveled SMN to 20 so I can do pirate chart fight and have no intention of taking it past 20 so would rather not skill up if I dont have to

You should not base any speck of your decision on the fact that one of your crafts is "already" at level 30...

Also the change where Quick Draw gives TP.

No, but considering I've never been big into crafting, that it's the most logical choice (not counting money put into crafting) as I won't have to go through 30 levels again, no matter how low they are.

Not necessarily. I mean for example you said GS is at 30 so sounded like that was a nod to do GS.... only thing is GS is also a sub for alot of stuff in bone too

**Ricekid** · 2012-10-08 03:19

Is there any scenario that Mandau99/Twashtar90 beat Mandau99/Str99? Abyssea comes to mind. Thanks!

**Aja** · 2012-10-08 03:38

Any place for Coruscanti at all? Or Aluh/STR99 still better?

**Ceal** · 2012-10-08 08:16

What does WF stand for? Seeing a lot of JP shout for it.

**Corkadile** · 2012-10-08 08:35

Wildfire?
