Synergy Findings/Discussion

[Severance]

I think Rosenbogen can take it. The mythic GKT running around here has one with es acc +6 or +8 (cant remember which).

[Eleven19]

Yeah both of them have the same size slot possible I think. Rosenbogen would be a bit better with the extra stats. The fomor SAM NM Sengann right outside the safehold in tav can give you GK WS Acc up to +8. Only took me two tries. That evolith is size 5, so you'll have to keep etching the bow until you smooth synergize to size 5.

[Guppy]

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.

From my experience solo synergizing, I can spam fewell fast enough that I will gradually outstrip the impurity reduction from Heating Smarts -- so in a group attempt I would definitely recommend stacking both operations.

While soloing, I don't really have time to handle both tasks, so I just use the Heating Smarts. With it, I can easily solo Yagudo Drinks without risk of explosion (no Culinarian Cuffs yet). Although, synergizing them is not really worth the extra cost in time and fewell compared with normal crystal synthesis, even with the multiple yields on HQ.

Now they will NQ the third slot and look like quite the fool...

Meh for the Sarissa and Machismo, the 3rd slot is more a freebie. Im pretty sure with capped evoliths like that, the person never intends to etch the 3rd slot anyway :3

[Eleven19]

Wow that is some titties right there. That's the king of equip that makes me want to level thief lol.

[Corrderio]

I'm not even a THF and I came....

Bump.

I put out a Synergy/Evolith/EbonArmor guide recently, but I didn't feel like making a new thread so I'm plugging it here for reference.

Winter '09 Update Content Guide:
Part I (SynergyEvolith/Ebon/PigmentNM's)
Part II (Fomor NM's)


There's a lot of information in this and the other thread, as well as in several wiki articles. But I felt it would be nice to compile the information into a single guide format.

If you've got friends like I do that are curious about these inter-related systems and the related gear, but are just baffled by it all, feel free to link 'em to it. Any criticism/corrections is also welcome.

Working on Ebur Braccae next. I think I can get another +1 or 2 more on the stats so just need a little bit more luck for evolith hunting.

That's pretty rad, but it makes your COR look like robocop

I did some searching and never saw a confirmation, do machismo's weaponskill effects work on the main hand? I just got X's Knife last night (lol 1/1!) and I'm looking at upgrading sirocco to machismo. They have the same base damage, so I'm having a little trouble even deciding which to main hand if I get machismo, seeing as both have debate surrounding them. X's Knife working on SATA in off hand, and Machismo's evoliths working on off hand.

[konoko]

Weapon-skill only effects are in the mainhand only; X's will work in offhand, but only on crits made with offhand.

Machi/Blau would be a nice combo though imo

[Phoenixtail]

I thought it was proven that X's worked on crits from both hands when subbed, but didn't work on SATA. See, conflicting info... hmmm

Did SE mention any plans to raise the synergy cap? Or just add more recipes?

[Spira]

Synergy cap will be raised and new recipes added.
I lost track of whether they said it will be today or in future.. but its definitely on the way.

[cdgreg]

Well this answers my own question:

The synergy skill level cap has been raised to 60 (Journeyman).

[Shamaya]

So these are the current journeyman recipes we can use to skill to 60. Seems like 5 of them require matts from T3 VNM's. And a 6th that looks difficult but appears to be something else. Panetiere and Gold Nugget are more accessible. I'm starting on Gold Nugget. Someone jacked the leaves up to 20k on my server, and I'm getting nice and slow 0.1's already ^^
