Crafting specific question thread. Moar undyed canvas.

Any suggestions for Blacksmithing 24~32ish? Iron Axe Butt (2x iron square) seems good for a few levels-- any other choice synths?

[Jojimbo]

Iron Nugget x2 > Hooks works, but will probably have to wait untill 27/28 + training for them to be viable. I was getting constant unstable eles when I was synthing them, and that is with both manuals.

[jPuff]

I see, thank you. That also answers my dilemma on what to first spend BSM marks on.

[Aratharn]

Iron Needles at that rank are good I think. Only 1 nugget.

Does anyone know if any of the starlight foods are decent enough to actually eat/sell/etc.? I am sitting on a big 'ol pile of powdered sugar and I kinda' want to put it to some use eventually... and hopefully on the best food of the bunch.

So I can repair velveteen shortgloves, r40 half apron, velv rope as a 23wvr now. Watched a r20 arm repair some bronze sabatons earlier too. Still can't repair velv tights/halfgloves.

Did I miss something, or did they tweak with repairs again this past update?

[Elcura]

I'm pretty sure they said they tweaked repairs in a previous update. You might wanna try again at 25.

[Gadritan]

I don't recall any mention of changes to repairs. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it as well as I can't repair velveteen wedge cap (r40), yet I can repair the shortgloves (r40).

Edit: Not to mention I can't repair halfgloves which are 6 ranks lower than the shortgloves.

[Jojimbo]

Maybe it's based off the rank at which you can craft them? At least for pieces of gear (like Hauby and Cuirass set) which you can craft at a much lower rank than the the gear itself.

Nope. Shortgloves are higher rank to synth than halfgloves.

[Elcura]

If you're getting those ranks from YG chances are they're wrong. I know halfgloves are much much higher than rope, which you can make around 27/28 pretty easily. There isn't much sense to it generally, you repair what you can repair when you can repair it. I think the devs just put in some arbitrary number for each synth lol.

[Ruin]

How about some advice for BSM 35-40? Without using 4x iron nugget per synth?

[Windfoxster]

Hmmm seems to get stuck on the 2nd part of the Leatherwork's r20 quest (The Silent Partners). Apparently after i get the 3 armor remnants, i am still unable to synth the quested item. Anyone has any insights on this? Or SE broke this during their dec patch?

Edit: Nvm apparently, you don't need any more buffalo spetch/strap to synth. Lol

[Gadritan]

So the rules for repairs went totally out the window last update apparently. I just repaired 4 different items on 3 different classes that didn't adhere to the old optimal-10, HQ+5 deal. Stuff I couldn't repair before...that I've been bazaaring for repairs for apparently no reason <.<

been that way since nov update, also "some" items can be repaired within a 15 level range not sure how that works yet).

I was thinking its "stuff you craft yourself" 15 levels but doesn't seem to always hold true... I think, needs more testing!

I was repairing r40 items as r23 wvr. Watched a r20 arm repair bronze sabatons, r38.

[Sephiroth]

Damn I thought making shards out of fish was easy. 6 hasty hands, 4 of them failed. 3 were recoverable fails however. But this isn't going well. I am using tiger cod, 0 SP synth. I had more luck hasty handing crystals with sand earlier.

[Elcura]

So, LW from 22 > 25, I'm still doing Dodo Vamps, but I feel like I could move onto buffalo stuff. Are the hides hards to make at 22?

[jPuff]

I'd say you probably want the Tanning book at that level to make the leather from hide, IIRC. Cutting buffalo straps once you have it will be fine though.

[Elcura]

Thanks, I tried a hide and got blown up for it, so I'll stick to making straps and vamps until I get to 25. I doubt I'll get the tanning book before that, and by the time I reach 25 I'll be able to make leather normally anyway.
