At least that's what I believe the OP is asking for from the general wording, I do not have sufficient DoL levels (just check my sig) to remember off the top of my head if all three DoL are involved in it.

That was pretty much it but apparently my wording was off and everybody had to troll about it. :P

I do think its funny though, i wanna be a die hard shepard e.e

uhh not all of us trolled you but you where indeed wrong since the Bow actually does require a +1 spruce lumber, as well as WHM weapon requiring + 1 harvesting materials. It doesn't make any sense for any other weapon to require botany materials except maybe Black Mage then again looking at it none of it looks like it is made of wood.

Oh I see

providing factual information relating to the topic at hand = trolling

/facepalm

No, that was directed to the people talking about carps and shepard classes etc. The factual information was fine but the fact remains that 85-90% of all synthesis materials requested is all ore.

If you think about most of the crafting is like that, honestly most wood items are used in handles, some shoes, bows, masks, shields, and fishing poles. All the flawless items are weapon heads so it makes sense for them to be metal.

Gotta get creative.


For example in FFXI they had it where you could pull special items out of fishes tummies. Astral rocks+1 etc could only come from a fish. Also, a bow should be more exclusively lumber since its a bow. Also, if they elaborate abit more with "grips/handles" you could introduce more wood/leather that way.

No worries. When the Omega weapons come out in the first content patch post 2.0, miners will be shafted. All the weapons will be made out of fish.

I've listed every mat involved in all of the synths here.

The problem is that the OP is asking for a change in one specific synth, but did not look at the greater picture. As far as what's needed from DoL/DoH across ALL of the newly added high-end synths, they are very balanced.

The OP was refering to relics, so only the flawless weapon head synths mean anything to the topic; this list you provide also has the mats for the final weapon synths, vanya, gryphonskin, and heavy DS which are all irrelevant.

Flawless Obelisk: All Mining
Flawless Avenger: All Mining
Flawless Mailbreaker: All Mining
Flawless Rampage: All Mining
Flawless BLM one: All Mining
Flawless Sargna: 66% Mining 33% Botany
Flawless WHM: is the only one that is mixture of Botany/Mining/Alchemy/Mob Drops

Pretty much the OP point is that if you want to make these yourself, you must have mining leveled (or buy overpriced mats off the MW).

Also I think Krausus posted a nice summary list of the items needed but I'd like to mention I think its quicker/more efficient to use NQ Ingots and 2 HQ nuggets for the Flawless Weapon head synths. This gives the weapon head the same chance to HQ as the Ingot does; but requires half the HQ mats.
