Random Crafting Question Thread I: HQ secret cracked!

[Ophannus]

Lame. Because the rank below me has a way better GP item than Veterans do today and I'm stuck with this 1k GP item, not even worth the effort. Never gonna get this stupid apron -_-

[Wheeldog]

The guild points rotate going up one rank until they get to your rank/the one above and then start back over.

I'm new to crafting, powerleveled cooking from 60-95 this week and started Guild Points a few days ago. My question is why is the Cooking Guild Point item of the day for Veteran culinarians sometimes and item not of veteran rank? Today's GP item for vets was a level 3 cooking synth with a cap of like 1200 GP. I was under the impression when you were Veteran, all the GP items for you are Veteran only, or does it randomly select a synth recipe from any skill level?

You'll have shit days no matter what level you are, I'm 110 alchemy and enjoyed 43 beeswax today for 1200 points

43 Lauan Shields and 43 Crayfish.

Wish SE would add another rank for like 8-10k point days.

Goldsmithing/Clothcraft get plenty of very nice 6.7-7.5k GP items whereas cooking is like 3-4k. I guess because food is cheap/stackable and armor isn't..but meh..

[dasva]

Well cookings main problem is half the time it's like 8 ingredients synths with ingredients that are hard to find... gold kinda sucks because it costs so much. Fishing is usually the best until you get Phanauet Newt... 93 for 1k points....

I didn't know exactly what to search for, but I remember this question being asked before: Can wearing the ring that prevents HQ for one guild be used to prevent HQ synths from another guild?

Had it never been answered, just found out wearing Smith's ring still gave HQ bone craft synths.

no, exeption might be if that one guild (you have the ring) is also used as a subcraft in the whole craft I think.

Looking for suggestions for a Clothcraft path for 25 to 70, thanks!

Use Kitron Macaroon, get synth support:

Soil Hachimaki > 31

Bird fletchings > 42

Insect Fletching > 52

Green Ribbon > 61 (could bridge using Karakul cloth or gold thread at 57/58. But Green Ribbons are typically equal cost and more plentiful supply). De-synth the ribbon using macaroon to get some mats back.

Black Chocobo Fletching > 70.

gnat wing fletchings (62) are an option too instead of green ribbon, at least I did it. Farming gnat wings in aby-attohwa on my war with my rdm mule Fell cleaving was easy and fast.

and if you reached 57 and got tired of gnat wings farmign you can switch over to apkallu fletchings (67). usually plentifull stacks up on the AH due to RMT FCs in misareaux cost.

Is there any parser that can parse chatlog for synths/skillups?

[Ophannus]

They'll probably add the remaining torques once they "let us call NPCs in additional areas". Most likely sea. In that case, they'll probably adds FoV/GoV there along with caskets which would include the new torques. I don't think there will be a Cooking Torque since cooking has, for the longest time, had Hocho which is a pretty awesome and gratuitous +3 skill over other crafts.

or they will just pull out a zaldon and let you rage...

why go for the hassle of GoV etc implementing when they just can pick some legendary to caugth fish and give the fucking drop to zaldon!

imagine it being lungfish for goldsmithign torque!

Sea is an impossibility, I'm sure. Gonna be in original zones, so if anyone is lacking an expansion, they can still acquire the item. Use as a comparison the Abyssea Zones. Miseraux was accessed via Valkurm, and Grauberg from Gustaberg. Can program in one zone vs. the entire expansion, and also let people get into Miseraux abyssea who haven't completed any CoP, let alone not have it.

[Corkadile]

Except you need WotG to get into Aby zones, and Sky, while basically a given, is actually an expansion area.

before anything, they need to add desynthesis recipes for all of the newer items. eg: hexed shit.

^ x5000, which is conveniently also relatively close to the amount of gil one receives for NPC'ing NQ hexed items.

i would rather have them implement additional ways to get ingridients for those synth other then from LEGION/PW/VW/NMs/VNMs etc that pop every 5 hour or are just fuckign annoying to get.
Giving Gardening, Mining, Chocobo-Digging etc a long overdue update since there are so many new mats out there...

[dasva]

Hell I'd be happy if they at least put all the ingredients into more of those categories. Instead of having the only real source be just legion or just said nm
