Random Crafting Question Thread I: HQ secret cracked!

[cdgreg]

Nice, keep this up, will be nice to have a solid answer for stall only.

[Byrthnoth]

I posted a pretty large sample here for holy water definitely Tier 3 (100+3). I pulled about a 47% HQ rate, so I'd say you're tier 3.

[Churchill]

Is there a level 52 and 53 synth you can try as well for cheap? I'm so retarded I never even thought of trying to judge bonus from T3 rates lol. I'll look into it and see if theres anything cheap in wood/leather/smithing so we can see if it's +4 or +5 for the stall alone

[Jimothy]

I have plans for testing +4/+5, toss up between sleep pots/cermet chunks which both cap at 56 I think, and animas which are 75 cap. I feel like t2/t3 is easier to notice than t1/t2 but availability of magic pot shards and the annoyance of non-stacking poison flour might limit my synthing.

[Vathris]

Im a little confused as to what high priced guild items and mega moglification do, could someone please clarify this to me?
The way i understand it (for now) is:
Cooking has 100 as cap, +3 from advanced support, +2 from apron and hat, 4 from mega moglification, and im missing one somewhere, plus the 3 skill on hocho, so cooking cap is 113.
Are any of theese numbers right?

[Churchill]

Yes, the other +1 comes from the 150k or 50k item which give Mohancement: x (+1)

[Vathris]

So wait, any of the 2 would give me an extra skill? Why would i try to get em both then?

Allthough i do have a second question, Is it possible to change my elemental glow in my mog house to, say... fire, while keeping my mega moglification active? Since Cooking stall, and all other guild items are wind, and cant think of any cooking recipe with wind crystals.

What're the generally accepted top synergy skills to boost?

Feed Fewell > Safety Lever > Pressure Valve > Repair Furnance IMO

I'm 5/5 in all those except Pressure Valve. I'm 1/5 there. If I could do it over, I would do Pressure Valve before Repair.

[Celebrindor]

or...you could be like me and regret doing thwacking. At least I regret it except for that 5% or so of the time it actually works. Best pressure release you can get ^^. Nonetheless, still wouldn't do it again.

I have yet to desire to use any of the commands other than "feed Fewell." When I see it's going to blow up, I start feeding faster so it'll blow up and decay down to the right level. If it starts leaking, I feed over cap and wait for it to decay to the right point to end it. What kind of crazy synths are you guys doing that you can't just follow that?

[Churchill]

Not a lot of testing and could be just luck (not likely for me), and something we kind of already know but I went 1/1 with just 150k item and stall on dusk gloves.

You never operate safety lever? I use it everytime my impurities get to about 25-30% and my synths never blow up!

Alot of stuff that I might want/need extra time on. Like back when it came out the evolith gear. Then there was the 65 storage furnishing. Even duoing that we still ran out of time alot and that was with feeding alot and having super thwacking and healing. Or trying to make random things a good 10-20 lvls lower than they cap lol.

Plus I seriously hate the random loss of fewell and dmg from blowing up

[Kamil]

Does anyone know the Clothcraft level that is needed to attempt the colored Mariner's Beds?

[Churchill]

Anyone have experience with Cursed Pumps? Is the CC sub of 56 solid?

God damn I want a -1 of this, I really don't get why there's not more (read: any) for sale, ever. A decent number of top end players would pay a few mil for the extra +1 cure pot augment and the synth is cheap now assuming you have a cloth friend who can make the siren's mac. I considered re-skilling leather instead of gold for this since my leather mule was lost to a player returning.

Carbuncle.Dionicio[Report] Score: 14
the CC sub on these is higher then 56.. got a .1 with level 57 sub on them

[Churchill]

Ah well that would make it lame to synth then. I just had an awesome day at it too (sarcasm)

[Psychoboy]

What should my mog house look like for my smithing. I have all the GP items , stall and hearth. I have them all in and i have mega moglification , but im 0/100 ish on a mix of T1 and T2 synths the past few weeks and im frustrated , just bad luck? Dam mufflers are pissing me off!

[Churchill]

If you actually have the KI in your temp KI's, then bad luck? I am 1/25ish on mufflers myself, about to give up on them at least until I get the noHQ ring and stop blowing money on wasted synths.
