Random Crafting Question Thread I: HQ secret cracked!

[Bootykilla]

Can someone confirm for me how much skill the Stall gives only w/o any other furniture?

[Lorax]

And that it's pretty fucking obvious that no day or moonphase can you try a a synth more than 15 above your skill level, but you can simply add a piece of gear and do it. Therefore, full of shit theory, as with all moon/day theories.

Agreed, so as far as we know it's still T0 right?

Can I tier 1 Cursed Trews -1 with a 98+10 Clothcraft mule? Anyone know what the Goldsmith/Leathercrafting subs are?

[Taera]

Trying to catch crockadiles and pelazoes in A La Thiene with no luck, any suggestions? Currently using meatballs, minnow, and ebisu.

[Kalasin]

Have we confirmed the stall giving +3 skill without any other furnishings? I know there is a rather big sample size on one of the pages before showing ~47% HQ rate on something he could only be T3 on with +3 skill, just want to make sure.

crocs bite at #4 near carabosse I use meatballs. Pela's bite near frogs and I *think* I used crayfish balls for those. They definitely do not cap at 100 btw. I've fished about 200 crocs without a skill up @ 93ish.

I fish them both at carabosse. Meatball croc. Shell bug for pela if you can get it them. Can't say what the biterate is for the other baits other than I remembered them sucking. With those baits in that area I tend to get 20 croc or 30 pela pulled up an hour. Well with using the rings and ebisu lol. That's catches btw not bites since crocs are kinda lame to pull up

I just got 56 Smithing on my alt last night but I'm not sure what to skill up on next. Might any blacksmith have a suggestion? Or do I just have to give in and use a darksteel ingot synth

You can make gauntlets to get to 57 if you like, relatively cheap (2 iron sheets, 2 leather gloves). Best bet if you have cloth sub is to make Haidate til you get to 58-59, woodworkers will probably buy them if cursed haidate are still worth anything on your server. Around 58-59 if you have the smithy mitts you can make Nodowa (66 cap) and Dweomer steel (67). If you use macarons they are doable with the 8 level gap but you'll get a decent amount of breaks til you close it down to a 7 level gap. Darksteel bolt heads (62) may also be feasible depending on your server's prices/demand.

I started Nodowa at 55.7, got it to 60 really quick, fair bit of loss though if you dont mind it

Anyone got Dats that make it easy to see if crafting animation is hq1/2/3?

[Aja]

Thanks everyone. :D

I didn't even realize this was possible tbh.

[Jimothy]

I don't know if it is but I've never tried. I remember long ago someone frapsing all 3 hq animations and they ended up all being the same. Id think if they were all one animation it wouldn't be possible but I've never played with any kind of animation swaps.

Out of curiousity what would you want to get from swapping them?

To know slightly ahead of time like when you shake your christmas present first!

Yeah pretty much just this lol

Does anyone know what skill level Goldsmithing is for cursed sollerates -1? I need to start asking around to get someone to make me a pair and I'd like to know what skill level is needed for tier 1.

Any competent crafter with 100 smithing should have 60 gold. Beyond that they should also be able to hit 104 WITHOUT advanced smithing support. Based on that, they can use adv. gold support to push them to at least 63 and even 64 if they have GS glasses.
Common sense would say get to 104 smithing through stall + MH

Anyone know what the CC level is on this? I'm 84 WW and 2 CC right now and I want to make some for myself and friends to go with our fancy new Spinnets.

[cdgreg]

Could always start leveling your cloth sub and checking every couple levels while engaged with a monster from a distance. If it lets you attempt the synth you'll know you're then within 15. You won't lose mats.
