Also all three hq are in a different spot from the skill ups ones.

I got the data but will never show it, it all in my memory nowdays I burn all paperwork on a drunken bonefire party 4 yrs ago. , but all the info is out there just need find out what is wrong and what is right. It would be up to someone to stupid to give it all out to the masses , and also square will just change it like they do all the time.

I will tell you that on lightning day at certain moon phase under 50% but over 50% not the 90% over or the !0% under ones , bug broths back in the day, if went SE with 2 items, you would hq 90% the time at only 12 lvs above then once you got 51 above it was hq 3. It no longer works so moot point.

I don't know what hurts more, reading the bullshit you post or your broken and mutilated language.

I like to imagine it's all true, and that this is how mankind evolves and is able to progress (that is, hiding information and never sharing it with other than death)...

Hmmm, perhaps that's what happened to the Abyssea people!

Obvoius troll is obvious.

I love this shit.... Hear it all the time:

"I always craft on/facing X day/direction and I get X results."
If you always do it... Then how do you know if it works when you don't?

"I got X HQ in a row on a <element> synth and it's <unfavorable day/direction to craft>! must be a freak accident. That's funny cause I didn't HQ even once on <assumed favorable crystal day>."

Or the inverse:

"That's wierd I just critical broke/nq'd a <element> synth X times in a row, and it's <favorable element day/direction>, must be a fluke."
Yeah, that must be it...

People see what they want to see.
Does it hurt to do it? Naw. Preaching it as fact when it's been proven in the more negative light as "bullshit" and the more positive light as "Not significant enough to produce results", is dumb.

Actually, it can. If your understanding of directional crafting is wrong, then it could be having exactly the opposite effect.
Only when you know that it has NO effect, can you say that it doesn't hurt to do so.

Meh. I've looked into all of it years ago, followed it for a while, but I never really felt like it helped much.

Now here's the thing... I don't think it matters whether it's real or not. If direction had an impact on synth results, it would most likely be a small impact, for a couple of reasons... game balance for one, and also because if it were actually a big factor, it would NOT be a secret with how big the player base was. I don't believe much of what sc4500 wrote either...

So really, who cares. Either it exists and it barely helps, or it doesn't exist. I think I'll just face what ever way I happen to be facing. :P

Nothing is quite as annoying in game as when that happens. One time when i was at 100ww i was doing a lvl 60 synth for GP. Limited mets, and i fail three times in a row!

Try crit failing 3 of 4 arrowwood lumber synths at WW 100... I'm more inclined to believe that the RNG favors similar results within a short timeframe (due to a bad seed routine) then direction. Sometimes it's good, sometimes bad.. (usually the bad for me, and the good for the guy next to me, but that's Life in Vana'diel for you...)
