Do Hexed Gamb. require 2 Ormulo ingots? Going to seek a 104 GS to try a few for me but wanted to be sure.

Yeah thanks


I've just heard conflicting reports and can't check the guild myself.

Before I shell out 100mil in mats I wanted to be sure.


Edit: Its 2 ingots

water day full moon, shaper shawl kitron on
24 synths to get 95 to 96 breaking cursed helms. Losing on 1-5 mats per break, usually just 3. Mega mog might help loss on break after all
Actually created one helmet lol gained smithing and alch skill somehow, even though both are liek 10+ under crafting cap.

6 skillups in a row now...

21 synths 96 to 97.

At a cost of 1k-15k per synth super cheap! didn't even use up 3 stacks of mats each.

Is there a specific alignment I should be aiming for to aug e.body?

[GeneyusTitan]

The clothcraft cap on E body is 48. Tested this morning using the engage a monster method and was able to make it at 33 cloth. My gold is too high to test the cap on that. Doing P body leather cap later tonight as well. Sorry if someone already posted this, I only looked at the bg-wiki page which had not been confirmed to be honest.

[macross]

did you try it every level?

[GeneyusTitan]

I started at 30, but yes.

[Diomer]

Is the smithing sub on Hexed Tekko actually 60? If so, how are people going about t1ing it while skilling up on it since I was under the impression that if you took a craft over 100, you couldn't break the 70 cap on another or you'd lose your other levels on the 100+ craft.

Idk but there are a few things. 1 it's not how far you take a particular craft it's how many lvls you can get over 70 between them all (excluding synergy and fishing) which is now 40. So yeah if you took a craft to 110 then tried to bring something over 70 you'd delvl that one but cursed techo is only 108 which means you can hit T1 on the leather part at 107 and still have 3 skill left over for smithing. Or could get leather higher and use more gear/support on smithing.

[GeneyusTitan]

Leather sub on cursed breastplate is 59, using same method to test as before.

For Hexed Tekko at 107, level your smithing to 71 on Dark Bronze Ingots and Dark Bronze Sheets at the guild in Metalworks. When you get to 109, you can use a smithing torque to T1 it.

This works! You can goto 71 and keep your 100+ skill. Then while your going to 108 and 109 save smithign GP for the Mitts.

Align the element(s) exactly.

[Pandum]

leather 108, using smithing mitts over tanners for 71sm while staying 11 over cap, 0/48 on tekko, 0/86 overall including attempts prior to 108 & gloves

edit: and 3/116 hexed boots

[macross]

Hth you even get so much mats lol.

[nomz]

Can you get synergy skillups if you didn't start the synth?

[Corkadile]

If you mean on someone else's synth, yes. I capped 80 with someone else starting stalls.

What exactly is the engage a monster method and do you lose mats doing it? I'd love to figure out the Goldsmithing sub cap on Hexed Hose (also can anyone confirm Hose are actually 109 and not 110?) so is there anyone out there in a position to do so or close to it? Even a ballpark would be nice to be able to rule out the Gold sub being 60.

[NynJa]

Engage a mob and attempt synth. If you can synth, it'll say you lose the crystal (you dont), and if you cant synth it'll say your level isnt high enough.
