Since when does Signet effect crafting?

Since when does anything affect crafting?

see what I did there? I could have just "fixed" it but I didn't, all hail septimus

Maybe meant support considering that tends to happen to ppl (wearing off in middle of synth)?

ok well i farmed a stack of 12 Moblinium Ingot and crafted them on Sheets
and didnt get any skill up which is kinda .... impossible
was on Alla and there ppl say also they dont get skills on this craft which is LV69

Then my question is is it confirmed that this craft dont give skills?

[Skyylya]

It gives skill, you're just in the difficult stage of crafting. It's not unusual to go long periods without skill. I think i went 30-40 synths w/o a skill up at one point.

Normal.

That is normal. I've had 3 0/9 streaks in one level.

[GavinBandura]

I went 0/24 or so when I was 98.9 CC, it's very normal.

[Surealistic]

i lol at this hard

i see that osode went to good use

[Koyangi]

Try 0/57 while skilling up -.-

[Eterny]

you mean 57 craft w/o skill up?

[Koyangi]

doing 57 synths with no skillup.

[Gya]

lol I don't know if days and moon phases matter to skillup anymore
my best run on my goldsmithing which 4lvls under cap was .7 on 12 synthesis using fire crystals, which .5/7 on thundersday, followed with 0/2 on lightsday, then .2/3 on firesday, i loged off on darksday (moon phase i think was very crappy considered by many)
funny thing was on my next skillup run now 3lvls under cap, i did it on iceday and fullmoon i went 0/12, since that was my 1st bad run for me i was shocked lol

Derail here but I wasn't sure if it was due a new thread.

I'm currenty 88 even and I swear there is not one money making synth at this level. I've been doing a lot of research lately and it just seems goldsmithing on Kujata is almost completely burned out. In a few weeks synths like triumphs/melodies may not even be profitable for 100 goldsmiths. Phantom/Morion earrings are profitable but some GS friends who hq'd either/or a few months ago still can't sell them, even undercutting AH by 50% they won't sell. Because of CoP (at least I think) rings are barely any profit to. (I know there are more synths but I did not want to list them all as I'm sure my point is made.)

I am really starting to believe that if Goldsmithing doesn't get a few new synths soon its going to be dead, there are just to many items in circulation I think.

So I guess my question is it like this on other servers? If so, how are you handling it?

So Goldsmithing is going to become just like EVERY other craft now... not worth the time and effort(read: gil) to level to 100. (yay i can sign my own equipment and waste 300k in the process). That's a shame...

[Eterny]

ok i did 15 Moblinium sheets and got 0.9 skill and was kinda shocked lol
some days later i did 12 agan and then only 0.2 so i'm 66.3 now and i think ill have to keep doing that till i can get my body at 68 and then start doing Lanterns ; ; but drop rate is verr bad for like 1-2/10 kill >< going to take verry long

[tyraravenlocke]

See if you can find someone who still farms the Bugbear Strongman.

I was able to find this, and had the guy collect like 10 stacks of moblindium ingots for me.

Which I crafted each into lanterns, and sold... one by grueling one.

... god I still shudder when I think about it.

[Eterny]

no one camp this NM i kill it every time im there (and never get drop.....) 10 stack omg ...........

[mikesjustice]

Don't level goldsmithing.

Qft

[tyraravenlocke]

I gotta agree, goldsmithing is almost entirely a HQ gamble game now, and even that is oversaturated, and in very small demand.

Level something that makes consumables unless you want to sign crap for your friends, at a 150% markup on the ah.

goldsmithing ftw ^^

Plenty of ways to make gil in gold. I can still pull off an easy 500k/day within a few hours of synthing. Sure its quite a bit of synthing lower items, but it works. All crafts are at a low right now due to the state of the economy. Just wait a few more months when the winter season sets in and more people are at home with nothing to do but play games.

When I played competitive quake it slowed down during the summer (even with $10,000-$40,000 tournament purses) and picked back up in the fall season.

But, onto my goldsmithing question. Been crunching a few numbers at work and heres my plan to get from 73 +2 -- > 79 (where I intend to start beads)

Gold bucklers at the rough skillup rate of 1/4 synths leaves me at around 288 synths (24 stacks of gold ingots).

Desynth these or not? If so, at what level? I will also have to wait until bastok gets into 1st place to buy the targes... right now its been like 4-5 weeks and bastok finally got 2nd place last Sunday.

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
