Synthesis Crystals & Directions Relation?

[zhan]

Scorpian Harness isn't the hardest thing to HQ ... But still HQing something doesn't say that you know a lot about crafting (even though Aurik knows his shit).

and check out sig. and i do know it all, cause im jesus

[Squallblade]

actually i dont think directional synthing is a load of bullshit, there is a gold smither on my server who talked to the most well known crafter on the server's pupil.

she does synthing according to the moon, direction, and other stuff that a ton of other crafters got no idea about. the main crafter guru guy has 100 in smithing, gold smtihing, clothecraft, and leather craft. his bazaar only holds HQ items and belive me, he HQs A LOT

[Raineer]

Whether or not you believe in it, some people do it and some don't. I believe it helps, don't really care what others have stated. I'm not going to do 1000 synths in the "right" direction and 1000 synths in the "wrong" direction just to test it.

I face what I believe to be the optimal direction...if it doesn't have any impact on how the synth turns out, then why do you care anyways?

heh crafters always have HQ item in bazaar, they AH or NPC the rest lol

[Liltwin]

I face my moogle when I synth

[Epical]

Mmmm hmmm.
Where are your numbers?

I'm being helpful. I'm telling people not to waste their time on crap that doesn't matter. Focus on what does matter, do effective research, instead of wasting your time on mumbo-jumbo voodoo that won't actually impact your crafting results.

You've helped me before with Clothcraft and such, so I'm not going to rag on you, but what about Eruntalon?

For anyone who doesn't know who he is, Eruntalon claims to have mastered the "HQ Code" and can HQ any item he would like. Before he quit, he synthed himself a full set of signed HQ staffs. 8 crystals, 8 staffs. Without giving too much away, he hinted that day, time, direction, moon phase, moghancement, and equipment aura all played a role in your chances of HQing the item you're synthing.

Don't shoot the messenger. =)

[Moggy]

i believe he said that same condition time = same outcome

i tested this over 2 months, didn't happen, if it did i'll be a looooooooooot richer, since i tested with cursed crimson LOL

i've tested time, moon phase, direction, day
of the things listed only thing that had a large enough effect on outcome was the day, which as most know day strong to crystal results in more break, which

and if he did work out a HQ code why quit? i'll be the #1 gil seller if i can HQ whatever i want LOL

[aurik]

Yea, I think Eruntalon is full of shit with his latest discoveries. Has anyone duplicated his results? Or for that matter, has anyone VERIFIED his results? I mean...1/10 hq rate with 90+ woodworking, so it's not inconceivable that he has made one of each hq staff signed. I think he's lying if he claims to have one-shotted each one.

I am out of caffeine and very grumpy recently.

My posting doesn't really deal with HQ stuff, but I'll admit I've jacked up fletching stacks and wool cloth stacks before if I actually have the opportunity. Not by significant amounts, but enough. If dumbasses are going to sell a stack of a freakin insect wings for 5000gil, you can bet fletching prices are going up, I just have to find the city where there's few of them :D San d'Oria's range varies too much, from 1000 to 6000. Windurst is solid, but takes awhile to sell, usually locked in at 4000, been actually having luck with Jeuno lately, and making more money despite the higher AH tax. 'course, now that I'm onto Green Ribbons I don't make 'em anymore.

Wool Cloth is basically my support line for cash, soooo pathetic ~.~ but those're pretty good at 80-100k, pending the stock in AH <3

[Raineer]

Your best friend in Clothcraft is lots of mules. I have 4 in windy and 2 in jeuno just for weaving stuffs. It helps '.')b

A few people (myself included) asked him to proove it, and he failed to deliver.
The sad thing is a bunch of people there ride on his nuts like he's some kinda god.

[Raineer]

Does day or moon phase affect anything? Anyone have proof?

Btw my opinion is Eruntalon was full of crap, he posted a huge HQ code and left the next day. I think if I broke that nice of code I would have hung around a little.

If you look around, there is some proof. Alla boards have some, amidst of erundtalon's bullshit.

[Epical]

There's no hard -proof-, but yes, I'm positive that day matters when synthing. This entire game is based on elements. Whether or not moon phase affects it, I do not know, but I can venture a guess and say yes.

I think it does too, but seeing Aurik and others come scream at peple that think direction matters when I really haven't seen anything proving that day/moon phase matters.

The only -hard- proof of anything ever was the 11/31/51 test, proving that the different HQ tiers do exist.

Eruntalon's research only showed a difference for day/moon in the 31-50 range. 30- and 51+ both had consistent results, not differing depending on outside conditions.

[Cloude]

all this is based on wat people thinks work, nothing is proven 100%. do wat u like don't listen to wat other ppl say. 90% of jpn crafters on my server craft based on direction, the other 10% don't care. conclusion>>>> do wat u feel like, but u can't prove whether direction affects or doesn't effect HQ rate. it's all about having some "luck"

not to nitpick... but at 100+3 woodworking and +3 from advanced support he would have broken the 31 level tier on elemental staves (cap at 75). Provided you believe in the tier system he'd probably see a significantly higher HQ percentage than 10%, although 100% is quite pretty unbelievable.

The fact is (not to reinforce deification of JPs) that if there was some HQ "code" to master to induce 100% HQ rate you'd see JPs HQing all over the damn place as you shopped at the jeuno AH. They're not so good at keeping secrets by crafting in their moghouses all the time...

Actually certain tests are showing that Advanced Imagery is only +2 skill...which wouldnt break the +31 tier.

[aurik]

No, imagery is certainly +3. Grab a mule in bastok, try a lv 18 synth with imagery on. Try a lv 16 synth with it imagery off.
