Random Crafting Question Thread I: HQ secret cracked!

[Celebrindor]

Just wanted to clarify a bit- will already having the stall prevent you from trying to synergize another of the same for skillups?

[Jimothy]

Firedemon had told me that he used a stall to cap synergy even though he already had one in his MH IIRC, so you should be ok.

Afraid he was mistaken. I tried that, and it definitely didn't work. It won't let you even start the synergy for a rare item you already have.

What I don't know is if stalls are deliverable...

[detlef]

You can always just throw away the stall you have. It's just 15k more gp to get another one.

So lucky broth... what's the distribution for it. Like NQ 2 HQ1 3 etc. Right now a stack sells for 2-3X as much as the ingredients and looks like it's T2 able so kinda wondering how much cooks are marking it up. And consequently if it might be better for me to craft it myself or just sell fish and buy broth lol

Any idea on what level Peapuk Fletchings are? Thanks.

quite true. however I don't want to lose the skill bonus it gives while I'm skilling up synergy. I know its a relatively fast process- but I don't get much time on these days.

Good to know though! thanks for responses.

[dasva]

Can't you attempt the synth even if you have the stall?

Must be something more to this than just rare tag. I've had a Selbina earring, accidentally made another, then realized I could not take it out of the furnace without dropping the one on my character.

[Lorax]

This has probably already been asked and I'm sorry for re-asking, but I'm terrible at using search.

Anyone know if cursed hauberk is T1 now? I can't find the info on the goldsmithing sub or CC sub of it. SE just HAD to put store-tp and DA on the body I already had a -1 for but sold cause it was obsolete for a while.

They're in the version update notes... http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...Version-Update

[Churchill]

thx

[dasva]

Forgive me if this is old news it's been awhile since I've done serious crafting or lvling up crafting but did they raise the amount of time HQ synth support is up? I seem to be getting quite a few more synths per support than I remember being able to get before

Yeah, I can't remember for sure if I ran into this with the earrings or not. I thought they were in the same boat, but possibly not. I AM sure about the stall, however. Unless, or course, something was ninjad along the way. I wonder if I still have that extra GP material around somewhere...

And Dasva, like I said, you can't even attempt the synth if you already have the stall.

Also, I haven't done any synth runs with support since the update. Adv. support used to last 8 minutes, if you want to test it again for comparison.

Which of the new synths are made from synergy and which are made the traditional way?

[Septimus]

FFRecipe doesn't have them listed, but I recall someone mentioning that Geodes cap at 50 Goldsmithing, is this correct?

Also, the Gem associated with the Geode would be the HQ3? In the case of a Flame Geode, it would be NQ: Sardonyx, HQ1: Garnet, HQ2: Sunstone, and HQ3: Flame Gem.

Is this information correct?

This is the Synergy recipe listing that Square gave us. I would hazard a guess that the jugs, archery, and marksmanship stuff probably have synthesis recipes, but the armors do not. (The belt might.) That seems to be how they roll these days.

Don't know about the skill cap, though 50-51 is what I've heard (definitely less than 53 or I'd have gotten way different results for a long time cutting them with just old furniture bonuses). But yeah, they're just colored rocks with the HQ3 replaced by the elemental gem (like sparkling stones and koh-i-noors).

[Vxsote]

Geodes cap at 51. BTW, I also try to keep the goldsmithing category lists up-to-date over at GE (that, and synergy). http://ffxi.gamerescape.com/wiki/Cat...ing/Journeyman
