    Yeah for my souveran set I think I ended up going something like 7/230ish and that was with switching to orvail and such. I tried counting the rates on the original cursed pieces but that got too depressing after I did a 4 hour session of making stuff assembly with 3 characters for no hqs

    Yeah that helped... cause I ended up buying out the ah a few times and even spent several hours camping fire elementals several while my mules continued to synth some of the final ingredients. Seriously ended up using dozens if not over a hundred stacks of clusters

    That's five Cursed diechlings -1 in seven crafts. Only served to hurt my wallet, though, as I still didn't get an HQ, 0/35 on Voodoo diechlings now. I think I might quit the game altogether if I get to 40 without an HQ, I'm too old for this bullshit.

    Yeah, already figured that there would be way worse stories out there, but 70 is more than I expected.

    Wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that it's cheaper to just buy the damn thing if you don't manage to HQ them by a certain point; I'm just crafting them myself out of principle here, but I certainly do regret it.

    If you can find someone selling at a lower cost than your expected cost to make, just buy it. I bought Chi's mule a pair of Diech-1 just cause they were 15 mil, and it would cost me like 40 mil to make.

    I think 30 for my first hq was my fastest lol. Shit seems a lot worse than t1 should be. Ended up averaging around 30 each but that was mostly luck in getting an extra couple hqs with the last few pieces of supplies

    Could swear they were on of the cheaper pieces and were less than 40 mil... regardless if you lucky enough to have a kupo shield on server can possible get some real cheap

    Odin seems to be really bad (or good?) in that regard. AH is chock-full with Voodoo diechlings with people undercutting each other at approximately 20 million, so I suppose we've got at least one shield over here.
    Unfortunately, I didn't notice how cheap they were until after I had synthed my tenth pair or so. Couldn't stop midway through, so I kept going.



    1/39 in the end. Not sure if I should be happy about spending more than 50 million on an item that goes for about 20, but whatever. Puts me at 1/3 for the feet, 1/24 for the hands and 1/39 for the legs, so my luck probably isn't too bad compared to Dasva's.

    Head is next, no muling required at last. Sending 80 items between different chars was the worst.

    So lepe tit if you haven't finished already might be a good idea to hold off. Not sure if you follow dev tracker but it seems they plan to implement some kind of relic like quest to make shields comparable to kupo

    Hoping someone with better search skills than I can help me out real quick.. ^^;;

    Got an lsmate who constantly argues w/ me about crafting issues, and would really like to be able to put the debate to rest.

    1. Stalls: Flat "Skill+5" right? I trust Zouri on crafting issues, but I haven't been able to dig up anything on OF that matches the approximate timeframe of "Nov 2011". Was it only stated in JP-side notices?
    2. Cheers: Insisting that Cheers give "Skill +1%" rather than "Skill Gain Rate +1%".. JPwiki seems to state that it's rate, bgwiki states that it is rate, ingame description is vague enough to be confusing.

    Hoping for links to dev posts or update notices. Nothing short of official word is gonna convince this person otherwise. lol

    1. Not sure if an OF post was on it but testing crafting skill tests are ridiculously easy (though a tad harder now) and it's definitely 5. You can literally show him by using it to attempt crafts the game wont even let you try without that extra skill

    2. All the skill from crafting to combat are gain rate. Pretty much everyone figured it out immediately since none of them change visible but pretty sure there was a dev post somewhere.

    I suggest just telling him to craft facing west, on fireday, only on new moon, wearing elemental staff of opposite elemental while channeling Miss Cleo.

    Yes, was thinking about that myself actually. If it's straight skill +, I wonder it if would be worth waiting, though at least Voodoo schaller would be Tier 2 with +3 skill, wouldn't it? Then again, who knows how long it takes to get to that point.

    Also, did you separate my name on purpose?

    Thanks for the answers. lol Though, for #1, I forgot to make it include the extra complication of having the other GP furnishings in MH. ^^;; He wants to believe that he still gets the extra stacking buffs from the other stuff in addition to the skill+5 from stall..

    For #2, I found a reference on both JPwiki/OF update notes that the ingame descriptions for the crafting cheers was altered at some point, supposedly to clarify what they actually do, but don't know what they said before that point. :/

    ...I'm still hunting for OF statements, mainly so I can provide links to force him to stop giving erroneous advice to others ._.;;

    ----------------------

    On a different note, I am now the proud owner of 2x self-signed "Sniper's Ring +1" :D (2/6 so far.) Only two more to go now for my dbox character XD
