    Re: Smiths Ring

    For the low low price of 400,000 gil and 2 months of collecting GP, I think I will pass. Lot easier to just spend that time and money desynthing the odd freak hq.

    PS. Why would you make platinum rings when you can buy them for cheaper than 2 ingots?

    Large demand, low supply of platinum rings, 6k more? I can deal with that. That was just an example but one of many I intend to use. I'm not worried about the GP, I've already done over 2 million, what's another few hundred thousand?

    I do lots of odds and ends synths in cc, I already had the points so I got.

    1% would translate to a 20% improvement on not braking things you make in bulk... yes?

    5% break rate down to 4%?

    You're right, it probably won't stop the things you make in bulk.

    Something that you can't HQ should be 100% NQ.. Why can you break B hides that you can't Hq in the first place.

    What if, and this is a total speculation. But ever crafter has their theory of when a T0 HQ will be or how to achieve it. Well since I don't really play anymore so can't really say to much but what if you take say smithing ring, grab about 200ishish t0 smithing synths, and wear the ring, almost "building" up your HQ. Then grab 5ishish T0 synths of item you want to HQ and give it a shot. I would try this out, but don't really play. Just a speculation so be kind!. That is what I attempted on my T0's. I would do about 75 weak little loss T0's then I would aim for the bigger moneys from then on. This is sort of the same, but beats the idea of around your 35th wanted NQ you see that lovely HQ animation and you get flustered at the fact you just wasted your T0.

    I may get whooshed here, but every time you hit enter to synth you have the same chance to HQ as the synth before (assuming its the same tiered synth) whether you just HQ'd a T0 before or not. The game doesn't know if you've gone 0/138 in the past year and a half on something or not.

    Hmm so Skeet and Omnipotent both quit/ish, no wonder the hq thread is dying.

    I can only really see the point for peace cape that I know of. Unless there is some odd benefit like wearing leather ring to help success on Scorp Harness's but still be able to hq.

    Could do some nice testing on the break and hq rates of a lot of multi craft items.

    I am not saying that IS the T0 thing, but it is what I did, and its a maybe "thing" that could help you guys. A T0 HQ is beleived to be 1% give or take a few .1's. So assuming you synth 100 NQ, your synths then up would be close "supposodly(sp)" to HQ.

    Nope :/

    There is no NQ counter, no HQ counter, no failure counter, nothing that has any influence on the outcome of your next synth. Every synthesis attempt is a new random event, completely unrelated to your previous attempts.

    Oh and I'm definately not getting the ring for any of my crafting chars. I would have thought about it if it was a 5% chance, but 1% is just useless IMO.
