Synergy Findings/Discussion

[Julian]

Portafurnance seems kinda useless. They should make it so it just stays out, until you go out of range or unsommon it or something.

edit: I could see it useful for making juice on the fly in an exp pt, but.. this isn't 2005 anymore <_<

Yes, I have.

[Vxsote]

Feeding the synthed orbs of Fewell appear to replenish 50 units in your crucible. That's not a half-bad deal.

[urat]

I wanna see if shadows can absorb the asplosions

On another note, doing OJ atm, putting my water up to 30 puts me around -4~6 fire, should I replenish that fire back to 0 to improve my results?

Edit: Nope -.-

[Nishida]

I jumped from 6 to 7 in like 2 synths with Melon Juice..between fewell feeding, pressure lever, etc..the skillups start spamming =D

[kaisamoht]

Stoneskin will absorb the dmg, but with pineapple juice I kept getting poisoned. So you can just poisona yourself to cure that cuz you cant operate the furnace while poisoned.

[Julian]

Just something that I noticed:

At level 8, each fewell feed increased the impurity ratio by 7%, once I hit level 9, it's only increasing it by 6%.

Pineapple juice.

Looking back at logs, it was 8% at level 7.

For orange juice, level 7 was 5%, level 6 was 5%, level 5 was 5%, also level 4 and 3. Level 2 was 6%, level 0 and 1 were both 7%.

Not sure what it could mean, at first I thought it may be a good way to tell when something caps (maybe it still is? might need more testing), but 5% seems to be the maximum (or minimum depending how you look at it) so far

[urat]

So, uh...

How on earth do I etch gear? Al lthe guy says is I use the mordant stuff on it, well I got some high concentration mordant 60 and a nereid ring (lv 51) and no matter what combo I try using it wont accept it, I must need some other item...?

Tried the ring by itself, the mordant by itself, and both at same time, wont accept any of them >_>;

Obvious question:

So in order to get skillups you need to be able to get skillup from that item through normal crafting yes?

[Julian]

Hit level 10, 5% increase on pineapple juice as expected.

Also, the NPC is offering training, so I guess you HAVE to do it every 5 levels. Gonna call a GM and ask, but doubt I'll get anything out of it :/

[Robbinthehood]

When using synergy in a party, does everyone in the group have to have the key item in order for their specific craft to be useful, or can I just grab anyone with said craft to help me out?

[Nishida]

Obvious question:

No. My cooking is at 71, and I was getting skillups off of Orange Juice (10 cap).

[Julian]

Well, GM was useless (not that I expected much,) but as long as some people bitch about it, especially on Alla or some shit, they should be able to see it and hopefully fix it in one of those emergency maints.

Anyway, I suggest you all be careful until this gets fixed, if? it gets fixed :/

At level 7, the NPC said:

[21:37:06]
Synergy Engineer : Ah, another dedicated synergist looking to refine his technique.
[21:37:06]Excellent! That motivation will serve you well.
[21:37:09]Synergy Engineer : ...But I'm afraid you'll need a bit more experience before you're ready to benefit from my training.

At level 10 (and probably 5 as well):

[23:32:53]Synergy Engineer : Ah, another dedicated synergist looking to refine his technique.
[23:32:53]Excellent! That motivation will serve you well.
[23:32:55]Synergy Engineer : And yes, it would seem you're at just the right skill level to receive my training.
[23:32:55]So, what will it be? Which technique would you like to improve?

If it's meant to be this way, SE is incredibly retarded, and could have at least warned people about it, but I really doubt that's the case.

[Albatross]

Ok here's a question, when trying to skill up your synergy level, can you be in a party with someone who has the proper base crafting skill to make the item, or do you yourself have to have the base skill for the synergy synth. I find this all a bit irritating that you have to either level alchemy to a certain level or cooking to even level up your synergy.

[Pergo]

You can be in a party with the people who have that craft.

I have 0 cooking and I was in a party with people with cooking skill and I was skill able to initiate apple/melon/orange juices. If i left the party, it said my skill was took low

[6souls]

all i got from trading the Chipped Scimitar to the Synergy npc was some bland text.

[Malacite]

Can we please get a compilation of synthesis recipes thread?

Here's some I got so far;


Hi-Potion: Synergy - Recruit, Alchemy - Journyman. 2 Sprigs of Sage, 1 Rafflesia Vine, 1 Distilled Water. Target: 45 Water


Apple Juice: Synergy - Recruit, Cooking -Initiate. 4 Fairy Apples, Target: 40 Water


Pineapple Juice: Synergy - Recruit, Cooking - Novice. 2 Kazham Pineapples. Target - 50 Water.


EDIT: Also, I traded my THF Knife and no, it can't be etched either. I'm guessing for the most part you can't etch R/EX gear. I didn't think to trade my Haub, but I'm betting it can be etched so this is gonna make Haub +1 even more bitching for SAM depending on what you put in (like say +STR on GKT WS?)

So maybe theres hope for lyft weapons afterall

[Eanae]

I still haven't found any old gear that's been able to be etched. This system is straight up massive failure.

Fantastic, just one other question, any idea if the other people need to have done the crucible quest?

no clue.


with the etched gear thing, i think something needs to be done with it because you trade it to the npc.
