    Technically that's a profit synth tho, isn't it?

    Not like my two Green Ribbon+1s, which were and still are just a waste of space, and more valuable as potential desynths. Keep them anyway, cause it took another 20 some levels for another skillup HQ...

    94+6 would put you @ tier1 on Triumphs, Yes?

    They Cap @ 85, so @ 90 you could have technically started making them with ease o.0

    with ease? I'm about 0/17 on these since i've been tier1 on them, only hq i had was a tier0 i signed for my brother (he just wanted ruby for fire res setup for bahamut).

    Cost to make is about 170-200k give or take. Even if you go 1/12 it's breaking even, triumph is 1.8-2m on my server right now. Unless you can get lucky as hell, it's a waste of time to even try.

    well im technically 93.9, i just keep telling myself im 94 so i dont start punching stuff. Ive done like 7 more lv72 ring synths, 6 koenig shields, 1 cursed schaller and i cant get that damn .1 to make me 94

    edit: ding 94 >.> lol

    I'd swear there's some relationship between number of components and HQ rate.

    I see a metric fuckton of skillup-level HQ's being single-item synths (bandannas and hairpins are actually rather common ones) and I seem to get more HQ's off of "small" recipes like silk or wool cloth than recipes of the same skill level using more variety in materials.

    Let us know when you go 0/40 on the same moon/day. It will happen.

    Someone was trying to make Darksteel Gauntlets for Koenig hands. In Dragon's Aery. With 88 Smithing skill (tier 0). HQ'd 3 out of 5. I didn't even know what to say.

    what i hate worse than tier0ing something useless.

    Is not hqing a single fucking thing that i'm 71+ over.

    Just made 9 fucking amber stones in a row, lvl 20 synth, i'm 95 w/o support. not a single hq gem.

  15. #15

    Whenever I make an item for a friend to upgrade for GP or cursed items or whatever I inevitably get a 90% HQ rate. I hate it.

    Someone said 'ding .1' for every level on cooking they did. Starting from lvl 0. Needless to say someone got the boot.

    Talking to yourself hehe. :D The fact you can admit that makes me envy you, cause sometimes my LS is so dead I think I should talk to myself.
