I've been trying to acquire a Sakurafubuki for some time now, however when I got someone to try and craft it for me all they could get was a message about that combination of materials can't be synthesized. We checked the recipie on several different sites and even through the smithing guild npcs. My friend had level 60 in smithing, alchemy and woodworking. He also got his friend with 100 smithing to try and it wouldn't work for him either.

Just to be sure you have the Recipe Correct. I'm looking @

Fire Crystal

1 x Elm Lumber
1 x Copper Ingot
1 x Cermet Chunk
1 x Raptor Skin
1 x Tama-Hagane
1 x Silk Thread

Is that what you're using?

Yep, thats the exact recipe we were using, checked it several times.
