Random Crafting Question Thread I: HQ secret cracked!

[Corkadile]

This is semi crafting related. I need to get Selbina fame so I can get Zaldon to accept fish for cape. Cabbage the best way since Moss is insanely expensive?

Corn.

[Diomer]

How sure is the person who put Hexed Hose on BG wiki as 109? Reason being is I found this post from the New Recipes thread and I *really* don't want to skill up on it thinking I'm t1 when I actually wasn't. Any confirmation on that Gold sub being below 60 would also be appreciated.

For leathercraft, I wrote Tetsudo Mantle at 102.
Urja Helm 102
Urja Trousers 102
Attacker's Mantle 103
Urja Gloves 104
Urja Ledelsens 105
Urja Jerkin 105
Hexed Boots 107
Hexed Tekko 108
Hexed Hose 110
Hexed Hakama 110

100% positive on everything from Attacker's mantle and below. I honestly can't say how sure I am on the 102 stuff since I didn't check NPC at 101 (I stayed in LoO from 100 to 102.)

I'd still do moss. Your server seems to sell them for 30-35k a stack assuming 0 fame right now and the low price of 30k that would be a net loss of a little over half a mil.

Which sounds like a lot but you got to remember that if you have some fame it will be less. Pretty sure you don't need max fame. And the time difference is huge. Corn is 412 trades while moss is 300. But mostly it's moss is single so can just mash a trade macro while corn you got to go thru menu and select the right amount. So mindnumbing lol so kinda depends on how much your time is worth.

The loss using Corn is like 30k buying corn from npc, and you can get enough in 106 stacks, which is 30 bag/sack/satchel and 2x d-box. It's slightly more trades, but totally worth it.

[dasva]

Well it's not really the more trades that is the onerous/time consuming part so much as having to go thru the trade menu vs just a macro. Of course if you have something that is trading for you it doesn't matter.

Is ephreda ring a 99 or a 100 synth?

I finally got my Signboard for Alchemy. Now I have to decide if I want random crafting KIs or Smithy Mitts more.

[Buffy]

Anyone have any info on the level of the crafts required for Kacura Leggings? Synergy Artisan, but no info on the bone/leather required.

[dasva]

Most of synergy isn't going to have a lvl for the crafts largely since there is no benefit to being higher so I'd say just try it if it doesn't work lvl up lol. The rank it is should be known though since SE releases that with each synergy recipe during updates

[Buffy]

Well I couldn't attempt at 80 synergy/70 bone/70 leather. Said my leathercraft level was too low. I presume this means the leathercraft level is at least 85, but who the hell knows.

[vagus]

I hear I only need like lvl 3 fame to get access to the 2 quests and Zaldon. This true?

[dasva]

Oh yeah dumb me they usually only says the synergy rank think npcs might say ranks. And no it doesn't mean it's that high. Synergy is different then normal crafting. The synergy lvl vs synergy cap determines things like skill ups and sucess and HQs (as well as other stuff like how hard it is do preform). But you can attempt any synergy with any synergy lvl. The regular crafts only have to be at a certain minimum lvl to craft or not and otherwise they have no bearing. Which is kinda why there isn't alot of info on subcraft lvls. That said iirc things that up your craft lvls will effect wether you can attempt or not and have actually be used to determine how much skill something gives. So you can try again with support

Been freezing randomly on crafts, was curious if anyone knows what's causing it.

Standard Windower, regular plugins, only one I use that doesn't come native with Windower is g15binder. No third party thing of any kind running (only other thing running on computer is vent).

Anytime I try and craft, the very first synth has a chance of locking my game. The synth goes through, chat still works entirely, I get the item, but my character is permanently knelt down in craft position. Cannot move, cannot stand, cannot do anything except close out the game and relogin.

Only ever happens on the first synth. If the first synth doesn't cause the freeze, no subsequent synth will do this until I dc or log out.

I am sorry, but I have hear of this now for the first time oO. You might maybe want to file a bug report to SE on the official forums, because frankly I dont know what is causing this.

[dasva]

Happens to me sometimes though I don't think it's first synth only. Also happens when I'm fishing sometimes.

Swith Cape best bet to get to 100 on cloth these days? Currently 98 and Blessed briault looks like a crap shoot since galateia supply is random at best. Thought about al zahbi sash to 99 but doesn't seem worth if after farming up a bunch of marid hair and getting crap for skill ups since it's 1 level above me.

[Byrthnoth]

I did Dalms and happened to -1 one for profit. They were something like 80k loss per synth (to an NPC), but 1 HQ made the whole experience break-even.

if you farm your own wyrdstrand perhaps, but thats very costly per synth to make swith capes. Do dalmaticas and maybe you'll get lucky. I managed to hq one at level 99 but uncursed it for myself.

[Hitou]

dalmatica does seem like a better option. I have farmed some wyrdstrand but it's really slow. I'd say I got half of the ones I used to make wyrdweave from VW. Didn't know -1 still went for much. I'll give it a shot.
