I'm wondering if anyone here has found a consistent pattern to crafting items yet that they'd like to share.
For me it's basically this - http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/6086/slateboardsynthtips.png
I haven't checked how Bold/Rapid Synthesis may work with it, or if the gap between player rank and the item rank has any impact.
But so far I've had success with it so I decided to share.
