Mildewy / Decayed Ingots cap?

[kihre]

So far I've only synthed 16 of these, and only HQ'd 1 (got a silver ingot).

I'm level 60 on smithing and goldsmithing am and wondering if someone lower level could try these and let me know if you get a message saying you were too low to synth. If worst comes to worst, I can level a mule's smithing and see at what point he's able to synth.

[kihre]

Well, not sure if anyone is interested since no one actually replied.

Leveling a mule's smithing, I found that he could attempt Mildewy Ingot at level 25. You can attempt a synth 15 levels under cap, am I correct? Therefore anyone with a fully leveled sub of smithing can only attain T1 on this. It is a level 40 synth.

I'm figuring that goldsmithing ingot is similar, but I won't assume the same level. I'll be leveling the same mule's gold to figure out the exact level for Decayed Ingot.

both these ingots are level 40. I would appreciate if someone would post all the HQ results for the smithing one, as it would possibly help me sell these hoarded ingots I now have! lol

Kind of hard to get any unless you can do ITB too. Only one that's sold on Phoenix went for 300k.

Looks kinda useless for money but excellent for skillups. Caps at 44~45 synergy by my calculations (6% impurities @ 38 synergy)

Maybe my coffee hasn't kicked in quite enough yet, but I'm not sure what ITB is...

I've got a load of both kinds of ingots because you get them from Ahtapots by turning them into Zaldon. There's a crapload of fishers fishing up ahtapots, but NPCing them instead of turning them in because they probably haven't got gold or smithing or read updates. You could probably camp there behind them and just ask them for those fish. It would be completely worth it to me to synth these for profit had I either of those crafts, considering gold ingot is one of the HQs on Decayed ingot and how easy they are to get.

And the only one sold on phoenix i believe was a self-sale.

ITB= Inside the Belly

And did you say gold ingot...? >_>; <_<;

this is relevant to my interests

[kihre]

yea, I'm 95% sure that the goldsmithing ingot is:
NQ brass
HQ1 silver
HQ2 mythril
HQ3 gold

I haven't had time to test the smithing one, but it would be VERY VERY interesting if HQ3 were imp wootz (pure 100% speculation) since it's from a fish in a region of the expansion that khroma/imp wootz came out with. Highly unlikely, but who knows! Not me because I don't have smithing

I'm pretty sure to match it'd be bronze, iron, steel, darksteel.

I love the wishful thinking but SE seems to enjoy dangling shineyz just out of us ebisu rod holder's reach.

Oh how I long for the days when you could catch a stack of coral fragments with ebisu in only a couple hours. So much shineyz could be had~ D:

[Baelorn]

I'm pretty sure to match it'd be bronze, iron, steel, darksteel.

NQ: Bronze Ingot x 1
HQ 1: Steel Ingot x 1
HQ 2: ???
HQ 3: ???

According to ffxiah post. With that I'd say Darksteel would be HQ2 and no real guess as to HQ3.

I'll spend some time in Nashmau later this week and see if I can get some of them for cheap.

[urat]

My guess then would be Adaman, which would be nice thats actually half decent profit. 80K an ingot here. But it takes a lot of ahtapots to get even 1 ingot

[kihre]

So I sent my ingots to Baelorn and he got the results that HQ3 is darksteel ;(
Can get iron, steel, darksteel from HQ

of the 220 ahtapots i've turned in, I've gotten 18 Mildewy ingots (smithing) and 35 decayed ingots (goldsmithing). Not terrible for high-end goldsmithers who also have fishing. Too bad I went cloth :/

[urat]

Interesting, thats only a single days fishing for me.

At 40K a gold ingot thats some huge potential profit
