Amazing Crafts 4: My Cerb+1 is better than your Cerb+1 (and yours... and yours too)

[Wulfgang]

Not enough to make it worth your whie; doing some synths on a friend's smithing account. If I get frustrated enough with Southern Pearl farming / mass synthing, may buy in the future.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind paying for 50+ Cursed synths but the availability of the pearls is such a pain in the ass.

[Allelujah]

Just made my 2nd pair of Cursed Mufflers -1

I'm like 2/35. Krispy's now 3/5 armada.

Might save up and do 20 synths of Cursed Hauberk/-1. I'll post if I ever HQ.

My last few. Goodnight, FFXI.

[Krispy]

seraph sucks, no goldsmither; need moar HQ!

[Jizzle]

wulfgang, how much are you offering for -1 berk. I'm considering synthing that for HQ.

lol

[Wulfgang]

0/4 thus far on berk-1. Anyone know what the possible desynth outcomes are? I'd love to get my pearls back lol.

[Allelujah]

Oddly enough, I've had some experience with desynthing those.

I've gotten a gold thread before, and one time I got an Adaman Chain back.

On cursed mufflers I think i was 2/10 getting an Adaman Ingot back.

[Callisto]

Yeah, I had that same thing happen on both Iron and Steel bullets while skilling up Alchemy

I had thought that maybe bullets have a slightly higher HQ rate than normal synths or something

[BlaizeAsura]

At least it wasn't something that had no HQ!

[Krispy]

Soo gave a shot @ making Cursed Cuirass -1.

Do you think it's possible that the tier rating of that is going off of your smithing ONLY for some reason?

Has it been extensively tested with crafts that have sub crafts? I know the "rule" is the lowest tier (usually the subcraft) is the HQ rate, but I've noticed some strangeness with bullets as well.

(p.s. 9k from my smithing mitts to make myself 60+1 to T3 those bullets.... and you'll probably still HQ them more than me. Damn my luck)

T2 you mean?

No, it's not possible. I could cite years of precedent but it's easier to say that I've made 50+ stacks of steel bullets at these levels of crafts and these are the only HQs. Statistically speaking, if it was working off T2, it would be almost as improbable to not hq out of 48 as it is to HQ T0 back to back (that's a slight exaggeration but you get the point.)

1/3 total. Bought 4 skins, not sure what do with 4th >_<

[Fievel]

Craft it!

[Magitek]

Quit on subligars while you're ahead, but yeah craft it!

Didn't someone test it with a small sample that the lowest tier is not the hq rate? I remember reading a thread where this guy synthed a receipe with leather main and woodworking as subcraft with his ww at lv0-1. He managed to hq like 4/12 or something. He was T3 on leather and T0 on woodworking on that receipe.

Anyone not remembering that thread? lol

I remember it, and I proved him wrong, there was no WW subcraft. On my leather mule I have 100 LC and 0 WC and after like 20 synths I didn't get a single skill up. After that he swore he'd find another synth to prove that it was not the lowest tier sub but he never did.
