[dev1013] Overwriting stats?

i wonder if we'll see some "Synth failed, Byakko's Haidate were lost" O.o.... tbh i have no idea how synergy works

In a nutshell you have a crucible KI that's tied to your character. It has elements stored in it that are used for fuel which you can refill yourself or pay an npc to do for you. You can place your crucible into any furnace. Once in a furnance you can either trade fuel to refil it yourself (fewells) or you could trade ingredients. Once you start a synth you basically feed it fewell of a certain element to try to match the target numbers. For example if your target number is (fire 10) you spam the feed fewell command for fire until you get as close as you can to (fire 10) before clicking to finish the synth. It doesn't have to be dead on but if it is you have a higher chance of HQ'ing.

There are alot of complications that can arise and it's alot more intuitive than in the simplified explanation I gave. To answer your question though, no you can never lose your ingredients. A method to skill up synergy fast involves taking a high lv recipe and purposely spamming fewell feeds till you fail since every action you take in synergy has a chance of a skill up. Hell you could trade ingredients to the furnace, fail the synth, log out, come back 3 days later, and you would still get your items back by clicking on any furnace again.

I leveled synergy to 70 soley to try out this update. I was untrusting at first and tried every possible way to lose my items. It can't be done. I kind of wish I could do that with goldsmithing, but that would be a little too easy.

Why am I not surprised that none of these items in the list are Summoner equipment? Not like the augments would ever be Summoner oriented anyway. But perhaps if I keep pointing these things out at this forum for a year or two, SE will realize they forget Summoner every single update when it comes to "general improvements".

At least Summoner can wear Zenith gear. Scholar and Dancer can't use this system at all (well, Scholar can wear Genbu's shield).

They are adding sky gear, salvage gear, nyzul gear, and relic equipment (possibly more) to the list of augmentable items. Go through their twitter feed. They're just not adding all the recipes in one update. Summoner will get some goodies, just the amount of equipment to be added is too much to be included in one go.

At the same time it seems pretty weird to have gear thats so much harder to obtain but fails in comparison of new gear. Some of us old school players have had stuff like Zenith, Crimson, ect. for years and right now they're just taking up inventory unless they tossed them.

That's how things work when you increase the level cap though, new things come which are better it's SEs fault everything is so easy to obtain. The difficulty of getting items is now much different due to the level cap and adjustments to some endgame events.

P.s. I am not a new player, I certainly have fond memories getting wlegs and the such, but I'm also a player who sees something that's an upgrade and I go for it regardless of time/difficulty to get this or these items.
