The crafting & gathering thread.

Is there a reason Fieldcraft IIIs are still not obtainable from any new or convenient sources?

After getting all the Master III books I thought I'd go back and pick up the IIs I didn't have (pretty much for completionist sake/boredom), only to realize the price of Field IIIs has not changed at all and I'm not spending 1m+ for a bunch of useless recipes.

Price is there mostly due to the new lv60 2 stars, but yeah the way to obtain them sucks

[Raldo]

Anyone know if blowing up the Lv58 Blue Scrip DoH/DoL gear gives FC3, or FC2? Dungeon gear would lead me to believe it's FC2, since you don't get BC3s until you're blowin' up lv60 stuff, but I haven't actually tried the DoH/L gear.

Price hadn't changed tho, they were ~35k in 2.0 and they still are now.

[lilbubbles]

It's a fair price though, try desynthing them yourself. :D

[TheDirtyHobo]

A) Desynthesis didn't even exist until 2.3
B) They varied anywhere from 200-600k back in the Supra rush era, at least on my server. They're 40k now.

[Niiro]

When i said 2.0 I just meant pre-expansion.

After they added the wedding gear and the NPC in Ul'dah the price plummeted because desynthing the gear from the NPC was the easiest way to get them and it was available to everyone for the same price.

I'm reaching the point where I'm ready to start making some of the new two-star items. I want to start with bsm main hand and off hand.

Anyone done these yet? I'm figuring I'm looking at 2 PbP, 2 RS, and 2 CSII just to finish each. That isn't going to leave a lot of room for quality stuff.

My craftsmanship sits at 689 with food. Anyone done these and can confirm exactly what it takes?

Made a lot of 2* shit with that rotation, its pretty solid. No reclaim, cause fuck SE´s 90%

What is FTx11?

[Luthia]

What is FTx11?

FT = "Flawless Touch" Aka Flawless Synthesis, idk why he calls it that, must not be English native.

Maker´s Mark + Flawless Synthesis, is the new shit.

[Hellfury]

I haven't tinkered with Maker's Mark yet, but, isn't that just making flawless synthesis free and no dura loss, for all practical purposes giving you a theoretical up to 11x40 free progress? (which is nice, but everyone seems to consider it the second coming, so I'm wondering what I'm missing?)

[Carth]

It's treated greatly because it's literally progress for free (minus the 20 CP cost at the beginning), and the progress on the higher level crafts get absurdly high. Though I feel if you have Ingen II this is probably a non-issue. Those who don't (like myself) probably really appreciate this skill.

[crystalszero]

I need a shit ton of water crystals (3k+). Is there an aetherial reduction method I can use for this?

Yes, but water/ice come from fishing. How can it be that expensive? Are you in a small server?

Ah, then I wasn't missing some crazy aspect of it, thanks

even on a sort of big server (gilgamesh) its around 1K per cluster. They need to make the fish 24/7, like the miner/botany nodes you can do all day long >.>

I have thousands of every cluster except ice/water...

[Buffy]

I was referring to the number of crystals I needed, not the per crystal price there.

They are 300 gil each, I didn't want to spend a million gil on crystals that day.

2* requires 718 craft and 695 ctrl.

To even start the synth?

[Niiro]

Yes, look in your crafting log, it tells you the craft/control requirements for a synth in the "characteristics" area below the list.

[Luthia]

Lol Have you never crafted starred shit? They all come with minimun stat requirements, even 2.0´s.
