Khroma Nuggets

[SephYuyX]

besides, all this is mute as it doesnt seem like there is a ingot recipy for these nuggets.

I like mute points.

I like moot points.

Sorry, but yeah, it's a moot point.

I quoted it cuse I knew it was wrong >.>

I don't disagree with the point you're trying to make, but I have to disagree with your #s. Without a khroma ore strike, you can still easily walk away from Mount Zhayolm with 75k/hr worth of sellables if you have the crafts levelled to synth/desynth. 100h of playtime = 7.5M gil. I'm sure you can buy 12 wootz ores with that. Putting in 1-3h of mining every so often, and you can reach that mark in 6 months within reason.

I've known people who have been 0/6 on ISNMs and mining 1-3 hr every few days for about 2 weeks and came out with nothing. Salvage bodies are already harder to get to drop then most other equivalents. The gil amount attached to them is ridiculous.

I like moo points.

Like a cow's opinion, it doesn't matter.

1khroma/4h is the estimate I made, but I'm probably generous.

And tell me how you do 75k/hour in zhayolm. Unless you can desynth every armor (im not even sure you would made this much) I highly doubt it's possible, especially on the day where it's slightly more crowded. Stack of iron ingot is 30k, and you need 48 iron for this, every else but adamant worth 3k/stack. 1 adaman per hour for 10k at best.

[Byrthnoth]

I used to make some gil in Zhayholm. Would just go in with a few stacks of Fire, Earth, and Lightning Crystals and ingot-ize/desynth crap/make Firesand until my inventory filled up. I'd taken what Cotton I made and turn it into Shinobi-Tabi or Sanraku-Sengaku depending upon my Saruta Cotton supply. I never actually got a Khroma Ore, but it was still decent money.

Also, ISNM is about a 25% drop. Personally, I went 2/4 or something.

[Kaslo]

When I bought mine, I tried ISNM, and it's not worth the trouble. Sure, it's fun to do occassionaly, but I went 0/5 on mine (2/20 total). I could probably have made more money selling strap.

Mining...if farming ~40k/h is good for you, try it, but it's not a miracle solution either. You will spend 100h in zhayolm to get your 24 ores, and you still need money for the wootz after. 100h of play time running in circle clicking on green dot named "mining point", and sorting your inventory. That's not my definition of "game"

You don't have to sort anymore

[Rammses]

I actually preferred the pos-hacking LV 1 RMT miners to the phalanx of 3-lettered, ugly haired Tarutaru WHM33s currently running around up there 24/7.

[dithera686]

So has anyone actually tried the synth of 6 nuggets 1 wootz/iron? or any combination of that yet? I've seen up to 4 nugget attempts but no 6.

[jfive]

I've been waiting for the 6 nugget synth post for 2 pages now. lol.

On another note. I'm 3/4 on Khroma ore in Puk ISNM this week.

[Aramaic]

I have 100+ Smithing and can assure you that their is no synthesis for khroma ore from nuggets in smithing section. Unless goldsmithing got it there isnt one.

[dithera686]

I'm really hoping this might be a synth like the goblin drink. no matter what level of cooking people were, no one was able to find the recipe in the guilds right? One can hope damnit

[willriker]

Sorry, but yeah, it's a moot point.

Sorry about that... hehehe its a bad habit of mine. Though its nice to see the grammar nzis are still around. O.o w/e

[shukuffxi]

Buying the Ores/Ingots seems to only sane solution for people who can't put in -ungodly- /massive/ amounts of time farming. I've done the ISNM thing (Like 3 or 4 out of 20, personally). I've mined for over 80 hours, 0 Khroma. I do 2x Einherjar weekly, we've seen like 3 or 4 Khroma's since they were added, which go to LS bank.

That's not to say I haven't seen some luck folks who've gotten 3 Khroma Ores in 2 days with less than 6 hours of mining, but it's really not a realistic or sensible solution at all. I wouldn't care if the bodies cost 2-3x as much as their Zilart counterparts, but they cost so much more it's just horrible on the wallet.

Nugget synths are Goldsmithing traditionally.

If it's 25% I have the worst luck in the world. I remember usually seeing one per 8 or 9 (some people would have doubles) on average, though for mine personally I was 1/27.
