Synergy Findings/Discussion

[Taint]

So when crafting with synergy there is no point in lowering pressure? Just keep impurity below 50ish?

[Guppy]

Aside from the high crafting levels required, Synergizing a Kitchen is going to be rough, with multiple high-level energies required. It feels like a full party of top-notch synergists will be required to push elemental levels to the target in the short amount of time available.

The info about the random food item at conquest is interesting, and brings up the question of the Bakery Platter furnishing -- does it have a similar trait?

Edit: Nothing special about the Bakery Platter mentioned at Goblinclub.org, looks like.

By the way, I found out the maximum cinder limit is 10,000 at this point. Not much to buy at this point besides synergy reagents, but it sets a potential cap (which could be changed of course) for how much cinder rewards would cost.

I can confirm the lack of a weekly bagel or some such from the Bakery Platter. It looks really cute in my Mog House's kitchen area, but that's about it.

50 gets dangerous. It seems 30% is the safety threshold, higher than that and you run the risk of an esplosion

[nitsuj]

Well god damn that was fairly easy. About a week ago I went to Mhaura and synthed like 24 synths worth of earth fewell (at T1) and then spammed the living hell out of mythril nugget synths. I just got on rdm, composure/haste and spammed earth fewell trying to thwack explosions unless under 15%. After about a week of constant spam/failings I'm at 50 synergy and have 4 earth fewell orbs left lol.

0-50 probably only cost me about:
2.5kish per yellow stone x24 = 60,000
2 stacks slime oil @ 9k each = 18,000
2 stacks of catalyic oil @ 97g per = 2,328
2 stacks earth crystals @ 1k each = 2,000
Total: 82,328g

Mythril Nuggets synth?

I'd like to also confirm that Operate Safety Lever does an extremely good job at preventing explosions. I usually use the ability around 25-30% on long and potentially expensive Synths, such as Pot Of Meadsweet.

As far as Safety Lever goes, Heating Smarts (Culinarian Smock) may be a good replacement for impurity reduction, the drop over time seems pretty good. Of course, unlike the gloves, you have to specialize in Cooking to get it.

Like you posted before, it does stack with the safety lever, but it's a semi decent replacement given how chaotic it might get with multiple people feeding fewell. Best to have both if possible, or assign one person to specialize in impurities in the group.

I also highly stress that the Culinarian Gloves are incredibly useful when skilling up on Mythril Nuggets (assuming you're just spamming water from 1-50).

Has anyone else etched an Ebon Jerkin yet with some decent slots? So far I've just been able to get vs: Xmob and magic types. I'm hoping that there's a chance at a downward filled triangle slot.

You can't get downward filled on a Armor, that's only for weapons, and ebon is the lowest/worst you can get, my advice is to try for furia, ebur if you actually want good slots.

[Robbinthehood]

What about diamond shaped slots, or are those for weapons only as well? Basically I'm trying to build a ranged body piece for COR, ACP went to Quick Draw build, and was hoping to build something good for the base stats on jerkin, something that I would use mainly for Dark Ixion,Cerb,Khim,etc.

I believe all you can get is Triangle ^ filled in and empty slots. I think Ebon gives you two Darkness-based slots, one Light based. Furia is 2 light based and Ebur is either 3 light or 3 whatever you want?

In any case, the reason Ebon > Furia > Ebur is the best 'stat' progression so far is because of the way the evoliths are set up. Light based are mostly offensive, dark ones are defensive.

So far i think you can only work out vs specific mob types for bodies as the best you can get. I dunno, pick vs beasts for HNM I suppose? I think Ixion, Cerb and Khim all classify as beasts. You would need to upgrade to Furia or Ebur to get perhaps R.Acc+ and R.Att+ vs Beasts. Ebon will only let you pick One of those because Att and Acc are on the light elements.

Ive did 'vs Beasts ratt + racc' since beasts cover such a large spectrum of monsters. 3rd slot is largely not important to RNG so i left that blank.

The slots are just icing on the cake anyway since the main piece has AGI, racc, ratt and snapshot - everything a RNG/COR could ask for.

Dark Ixion and Cerb both are beast-types so you may want to go with some vs beasts: evoliths though I think that Khimaira falls under arcana.

Diamond Slots are all weapons and downward triangles are also weapons (Hellfire, Blunderbuss, Adaman Kilij etc).

Id suggest getting Ebur for the simple fact that it allows you to put both ratt/racc on the same piece.

Did my Shikkoku Togi and

Slot 1 options were Ice Earth Water Dark (1 White triangle.

Slot 2 options were Fire Wind Lightning Light (3 Black diamond

Slot 3 options were Ice EArth Water Dark (?

I'm asuming it's going to be 5 in strength with a white triangle for the third evolith slot.

Best I could do was 40 drk and 2 light for slot one Synergy. Not sure if I can get a higher str for slot one.

EDIT: I sloted this WITHOUT the needed skills for Synergizing the Togi from the Harness.
Currently at lv 9 synergy.

Asuming I need a higher/caped level to get a 8 strength slot?

You're sure you got Black Diamond on the middle one? Its listed wrong on the otherwiki if so, I may have to look into that.

Oh, bummer. I got excited for a min. Thanks for clearing it up.

Lightning Bow +1 etchable? Assuming no, or we'd all be hearing about it?

Tried the NQ and was no dice. Most likely same with +1.

Trying to work out a bow to sketch for use on SAM. Only use Smart Grenade right now so it could be worthwhile. The best I've found that works is Rosenbogen. lol.

As a SAM, did you go for GKT WS Acc or GKT SC DMG evolith?

Rapid bow has the correct element and shape option to receive the Great Katana WS: Acc+X Evolith, I have that one on currently. Caps at size 5 and the largest bonus is a size 5 evolith from a fomor SAM NM in the meadows, +8 WS Acc.

I'm gunna stick with that one. I go bananas when I miss WS's with an Amano.

[SatyraGaruda]

The only things I've found to hold the +GrtKatana skillchain damage evolith are crossbows that SAM can't use. Frustrating as hell.
