Found something rather odd but consistent. Might be unrelated, but I didnt want to make a whole topic for it. After talking to Ryan, who stands right next to the Synergy stations in Port Windy, I can't use any spells or abilities. Just need to talk to him, don't need to but or sell anything. I can select spells and abilities by any means, theyre clearly available and I can select a target, but when I go to use them, nothing happens. At all. They're also definitely usable before talking to him. It's fixed by zoning, but still strange. I checked with other NPC shops in the area, but Ryan seems to be the only one with that effect. This happen to anyone else or does my game hate me?

You need to use that synth to make an ebon harness (leathercraft w/ smithing and gold subs). Then you put it + aptant:ishis into the oven and synergize it into a shikkoku togi. Then you put that into the oven with the colored dye to make Shinku Togi.

Also need the correct corresponding craft levels in the party while doing synergy. If some really high quality evoliths are found and have good enough stats I expect the price on the Ebon Harness to skyrocket. But at least one positive thing is that buying the harness gives you access to 3 different sets (Set1: THF, NIN, DNC. Set2: MNK, PUP, SAM. Set3: RNG/COR) and you can always desynth via synergy to the base armor and then create a different set if you have the correct Aptants.

Highly suggest against getting a smock now, and fail synthing it is probably the easiest way to reach ~35ish atm, until they add other recipes.

But, it's not like anyone is even going to read or listen to this post, 8 pages is far too much to read. But for those that do read, there ya go.

I there any good method for fail synthing that you've come up wth other than just spamming elements well past the required amount?

On another note, has anyone come up with any pre-existing equipment that can actually be etched (preferably something that people actually use)?

For the most part, from what I have seen, weapons that are crafted can be etched. I tried a lot of dropped weapons like KSNM Crit weapons and Martial weapons but those will not work. Stuff like Jambiya and other crafted weapons however did work

If I recall correctly didn't the vast list of .dat mined items from the 9th's update have a lot of items with an "etched = true" value?

Has anyone tried etching any of the new items dropped by the new NMs / synthed fro mmats dropped by new NMs?

Trackers bow? Kusha's ring? The one I'd really like to know is that dnc/cor version of the blau dolche... If we can etch that shit just became potentially the new best dagger for dnc :O

Never gonna create it solo at lvl 5, but delicious skill ups at the moment.

It doesn't show up in POLUtils but thats mainly because its an older program and won't show any other flags. I'd have to use a hex editor and manually rotate the bits to see if there is an actual flag for "etched" which I am sure there is. There probably is a better program out there that can see all flags.

I tried Octant, and it didn't work.

So you can make the new weapons instead of killing the NMs?

If you can get a Blunt Lance without killing the NM...sure lol

[Yugl]

I'll admit I haven't kept up with anything since the update. I was under the impression that Sarissa was the drop, but I see the issue now.

What level Synergy was highest in the pt?

[test123]

NPC says you only have to trade Mordant together with an ethcable item. I did so and furnace says it is invalid. too low lvl?

This sound like a winner. I think they may have made leveling synergy skill a little too exploitative/easy..w. I only got 5 skill on my main&mule last night after doing new content for like 6 hours but I guess most of my time was spent playing around / figuring it out. I expect to be able to get really far tonight using the smock method.

Don't forget, gloves are also upgradeable too,
Blacksmith's Cuffshttp://static.ffxiah.com/icon/15044.png[Hands] All Races
DEF:1 http://static.ffxiah.com/images/fire.gif+4 Synergy damage taken -20%
LV 1 All Jobs

Well, in the theoretical situation of Shair Manteel, that's lv 95 gold and lv 60 cloth, so with 100+6 goldsmithing and 71+ clothcraft, it might be T1 instead of T0.

Don't think this will be the case but we'll see soon won't we? Something like this would be off the chain (though probably not in a good way). Might want to do some experimenting with this with a couple synergizable goodies.


Also, people might want to take a look at this ffxiah thread. This guy put together a really good illustration of the items, with links and pictures.
