Amazing Items Crafted ... Blown apart!!

[cdgreg]

Not exactly blown apart, but it does display the woes of crafting, RMT had jumped a ton of squamas over when my lsmate was pushing to 110 and buying them for 1.5m, once he stopped there was a flood of 1m squamas on the AH. I bought them all up, 24 over 2 days and of course went 0/24 on coifs and NPC'd them all for 9k each. My lsmate who had just hit 110 bought 2 squamas and HQ'd a coif. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Haven't HQd a T1 jacket in the last 20 at 7.5mil a pop .

[Yeager]

I'm on a HORRIBLE streak of NQ synths right now. Currently am at 65 synths without a HQ, all attempts T1. My poor Leathercraft mule is down to 500k! I need an HQ! I'd even be happy with another Chelona Boots +1 or two! Maybe even a damn Dauntless Mantle!

DO NOT WANT TO FARM SHEEP LEATHER EN MASSE FOR GIL!!!!

I'm in the same boat just went 0/18 for Cursed Hauby for a LS mate and am on a 0/64ish cursed Breastplate streak.

Talk to me when u hit a 0/64 streak on jackets....

On a better note my last one just sold for 15,000 Alex + 20M

Gah, I used to just stab rams in the face instead. The ones in La Theine/Highlands always meant you had a few stacks in no time, since they'd drop multiples.

Or tigers, for that matter. Then I'd just chuck a bunch of fangs in for that San d'Orian quest for good measure. If you're a bastard, you can drop singles on the market for Gobbiebags and end up with 90-120k/stack.

[Yeager]

Rams are good farming, especially the Rams in Abyssea La Thiene. I've gotten as many as 5 Ram Skins off one mob there. Unfortunately, Ram Leather is not a fast seller on Shiva. But Sheep Leather IS a quick sell, hence why I mention Sheep Leather rather than Ram Leather.

At 12k/per that's a cool 200m.

Good Times!

I'm working on it. 0/23 now for me and materials cost more here lol. And I definitely think I need to charge what you are charging lol. Since as is I think I'm going to be losing money

[Yeager]

My LS and I happened upon Dark Ixion while doing some Staff trials, so we decided to take it down. I took the Dark Ixion Tail over to my Leathercraft mule to make the Hermes' Sandals. Instead, I got Wind Crystal shards embedded in my face....

You had one job.

That's not a lot of gil; it's like 2.4M max and pretty much par for the course with t1s. Dynamic Belt +1 is still 4~5M here so with selling NQs, you're not even in a really bad spot... yet.

This screenshot reminds me, a while ago something came up about ToS, something about them changing something on it, so I ended up reading it out of curiosity, and apparently naming yourself after a celebrity is against ToS. Which sounded dumb, but funny. Only 2 on Shiva I could think of at the time were you and Johnnydepp, now apparently this guy too.

[Fodder]

Amazingly it didn't explode

[Tomiko]

Congrats on the non-break! That has to be one of the worst chain of synths in the game. 4 chances to lose the Speed Belt sucks.

[Yeager]

I'm on another horrible streak of NQs yet again.

0/35 on Chelona Boots +1 (T1)
0/27 on Dynamic Belt +1 (T1)

and here's the really shitty one, which will tell you just how crappy my luck is as of late...

0/24 on Swordbelt +1 (Should be T2. Recipe capped @ 71, I'm 105.1 +12)

All synths attempted were WITH HQ support, WITH Coconut Rusk consumed, and WITH Craftmaster's Ring. All within the past week!

I am seriously at a loss for words.....

71 cap recipe, you're 117 (the .1 doesn't matter) with all your buffs (105+12), right?.

T3 is 51 over cap. 71 + 51 = 122. You're T2. Still, 0/24 hurts.

You're right. Not sure why I was thinking T3 was +31 over cap. My bad. But yes, 0/24 on a T2 synth sucks bad.

[Shadida]

Approximately 1 in 1000 chance for that to happen in 24 synths at T2. GL on Mog Bonanza
