It's kind of random. Woodworking has a bunch. I don't know if the others do.

Is Kunwu ore/iron used for something new recently?

The Black set pieces are used in a couple hexed synths (Gauntlets Haubert Gambieras)

Been years since i lvled cooking to 60, and i just decided to take it past 60. Wondering in what order should i get my GP items in? Also if any updated guides out in the world.

I just answered you in RQT.

Anyone seen any testing on macaron and skillup rate? Maybe something with a control test? Only within 5 levels from recipe cap, so you can skillup off breaks too? Wondering if I've found my next project. Dasva did something in the shaper's shawl testing thread, but we don't have a list of recipes he used or the skill gap for each recipe. Was wondering if anyone else had something more concrete.

I have the recipes I used and what lvls I used them for if you want. Just didn't figure anyone would want to see all recipes used for what lvls for 70 lvls lol.

Right, but they were both using food, right? I'm looking for information if macaroon provides a straight skillup bonus itself. You wrote:

I'm looking for a food/no food comparison if I can find it.

Or did I misunderstand what you wrote?

**dasva** · 2012-12-07 11:22

Yeah both used food. It was a shapers no shapers comparision

**NynJa** · 2012-12-11 02:55

When the guild lists ingredients for a synth, and theres a subcraft, does it always go from highest lvl craft to lowest level craft?

ie:
Some Synth
Subcrafts: Woodworking, Goldsmithing

The wood sub is going to be higher than the Gold sub (or equal) because its mentioned first? Is there an instance where this is not the case?

**cdgreg** · 2012-12-16 00:55

Good question ^. I actually have no idea

**Damane** · 2012-12-17 17:55

does staghorn coral only drop from tsui-goab and Yalungur, or are there more VW mobs that can drop it?

**suji** · 2012-12-17 19:25

just those two + legion according to dropdb. I was just looking at this the other day... the coral VW drop rate is pretty terrible.

well according to dropdb scarletite ingot doesnt drop anywhere lol, hence the reason why I asked

**NynJa** · 2012-12-18 11:24

it cant track provenance troves I believe, and that seems to be the only source of them.

did SE ninja-tamper with break synthing at some point? I know 11 synths isnt conclusive, but I was getting 1 skill per 4 synths (my worst was 8 synths without a skillup) from 99-102 on adaman gauntlets, then to go 0/11 breaksynthing breidox leaves me puzzled.

another 5 synths, nothing...something isnt right here.

nah its just from time to time you get nothing, i had that too. Unlucky.

Considering breaksynthing above 100+ skill I dont know, didnt breaksynth skill up to 105.9.

I dont want to fill my inventory with 30 Breidoxes that sell once every 3 days, not to mention I'd be automatically losing 2 thokcha per synth

I was actually able to do even profit on that path when doing breidoxes. sold like 2 HQ breidoxes that were going for decent money and the NQ sold for a little bit of profit (no loss). but yeah I doubt that works now tough

**NynJa** · 2012-12-19 16:34

Well I finally got a skillup, so it was just a really huge string of bad luck. Nothing like a string of bad luck when you're spending 300k/synth, right SE?
