Breaksynthing Errant Hat

[worldbfree]

I was trying to Breaksynth Errant Hat recipe which caps at 92 Skill Level

Main Skill: Clothcraft (92 - Veteran)
Sub-Skills: Goldsmithing (21 - Initiate), Leathercraft (34 - Novice)
Crystal: Earth
Ingredients: Pearl, Rainbow Thread, Velvet Cloth x2, Silk Cloth, Ram Leather x2
Result: Errant Hat
HQ #1: Mahatma Hat

I'm Currently at 83+5 which would put me at 4 under cap. My Goldsmithing is at 6, 15 levels below cap. Leathercraft is capped at 60 if that matters.

I have attempted the synth about 20 times and received no skill.
Does my natural clothcraft skill have to be 5 levels below cap? It doesn't make much sense because the game really hasn't cared what natural skill has been, just overall skill. (Except the case where you're over the cap but still receieve skill ups because your base skill is under cap.)

I'm at a loss. I really wanted to take Errant Hat all the way to 92 and bypass Arhat's Hakama all together.

[Squirrels]

Yes your natural skill must be 5 levels below the cap

Hello, Wamoura Silk/Cloth (88/90 cap,respectively). Just scrounge up the cocoons cheap -or hook up with a BLM blowing up Wamouras instead. Also, Marine Hat -> Corsairs.

Done 82-85.6 that way with no problems. (Just blew some of my crafting budget on gear, so I slowed up making the stuff.)

God help you, that had to hurt.

Yeah you need to be 87 for reals.

[worldbfree]

yea it hurt bad Raineer >.>.

About Wamoura cocoon, I dont know how it is on most servers but, stacks of wamoura silk no longer sell on the AH. When the recipe was first introduced they were selling like hotcakes and a lot of people blazed through 80-90, I however missed that train.

You can only sell singles of Wamoura cloth, and you have to fight to sell those each day. Corsair Hat is hardly a consistent synthesis, I do look for them when I can though.

[Charla]

And don't forget that even vendoring arhat's is cheap compared to anything over 93. Oh, don't forget bishop robes.

Same over here on Alexander. I did ok for a while and then the bottom dropped out of the market.

Worldbfree is on Alexander

I tried to do some break synthing on Errant slops today. Cap is 94 and my current skill is 89.1 and my leather is 11. It's within 5 levels so it should be working, but after 24 synths I have gotten no skill ups. Am I doing something wrong or am I just really unlucky?

how do you people have mountains of gil to throw away at shitty recipes you haven't done your homework on?

Main Skill: Clothcraft (94 - Veteran)
Sub-Skill: Leathercraft (26 - Initiate)

Ingredients: Velvet Cloth x2, Silk Cloth x2, Rainbow Thread, Ram Leather

you're 15 levels below the leather cap

take some time off pushing cloth up and work on your subs, it opens up several more options

[Tanag]

Read my post asshat, I am trying to break synth. If my leather is higher it won't work. I have done my homework, this is the most efficient way for me to level. Unless you can find me another way to get over 25 synths on the same stacks of mats. So far this recipe has saved me over 600k in synths.

more power to you, i'm surprised it's even letting you synth them in the first place based on subcraft level 8)

errant hat/g.bird fletchings are the best immediates on valefor


and your av is hilariously creepy

or creepily hilarious

[Tanag]

15 is the cap for synths. With this synth I will fail everytime becuase of my sub, but still skill cloth. Thus saving tons of materials. It'as really quit efficient when it works. But for some reason I didnt get a single skill for 24 synths, which is odd even at this level.
Just wondering if I am doing something wrong, though I cant see what.

[Blueshawk]

bad luck

[Tanag]

Another 20 synths and nothing, this sucks.

Gonna have to skill another way unless someone has any ideas.; ;

I was 98.1 +3 clothcraft, with capped leather, and 56 smithing when I started on Rasetsu Samue. I got the .1 skill on the first synth, then I went 48 synths until my next skillup, over a matter of 3 weeks.

I think its just luck sometimes, or lack of it. After I went for those 48 synths without a single skillup, I then got the other .9 in like 25 synths.
