    If you don't mind the occasional fail, or have enough crystals that you don't really care, then I'd say go hasty hands. Otherwise, tough it out I guess.

    Hasty Hand is so frustrating... if you are considerably above the synth requirement, it should work 99% of the time.

    I get 0 sp from making Iron Nuggets but Hasty Hand breaks 50% of the time.

    Speaking of Blacksmith, is there anything worth buying with guild marks outside of Smelting/Nailcasting? I'm approaching 10k marks but have heard all the other trainings are shit.

    I've noticed synths that require training break much easier using hasty hand, even if you have the book for it. I've hasty handed over 60 baghnakh talons, which give me SP, but haven't broken a single one. Yet when I make nuggets I still break about once or twice every 10 synths.

    Does anyone have experience with the Crafter ability "Perfection" As it's name implies it's description says: guarantee's success on the next synthesis. I used it yesterday and tried a rapid. I failed. wtf? Prior to that I was 9/9 on using perfection and rapid. Maybe a glitch? Any one else had this problem?

    The fact that it says "most effective for finished items" seems to imply it's not 100% though right? Just my interpretation of the wording-- I have no actual experience with it.

    and what are decorations? My rank 30 Goldsmith ability is most effective for decorations, I thought this might be buckles but those are considered clasps. maybe it means synths that are creating decorated items, such as decorated silver scepter?

    "Most effective for xyz" appears to mean that it lasts longer based on the item being synthed. If it is a finished item, then it will last for 4 synth attempts whereas if it is a part or material it will only last for 3 synth attempts.

    Ohhhhhh, that would explain why Maker's Muse sometimes lasts for 3 synths and sometimes 4. Wow-- thanks for that info. That was confusing me.

    I assume it would be for items like breastpins, toes, neckguards b/c they are the decorations on other items.

    Wow, if that is true that answers a few questions, can't believe I never made that connection.

    That's usually how it goes, but if the ability is a one-time-use kind of thing that just has one immediate effect, there's a good chance it will just have "no effect" when you try to use it on an inappropriate item.

    people who have it seem intent on hoarding it.

    Apparently there is a way to make crystals out of fishes now. Onke Monke supposedly can be turned into wind crystal. This should drive the crystal prices down and fish prices up.

    saw a jp making canvas coatee's in front of me, he made coatee body and canvas sleeves then the coatee so I'd imagine its those 2 + a cotton yarn for the recipe.

    It's retarded. It's fail. Your list must be @8/8 to be able to abandon a leve. So if you didn't save any from the previous reset and turned in any leves, you can't. This means you have a choice of either holding off picking leves while going around the world so you don't have to backtrack, or pick up what you want...and backtrack to turn them in after you've got the leves you want.
