Has anyone else noticed that if other players check them while crafting they experience more fails? I have asked players to check me while I craft to see if there was in increase and I did notice an increase. I have taken everything out of my bazaar but other players will still check you. Is there anyway to fix it so that other's checking you does not effect synthesis?

It's rumor, isn't it? Like the coincidences of getting fail if someone pokes you =P
I don't think the game has any kind of real effect regarding emotes, checking or browsing on the synthesis target is doing. -

I think for anyone to take you seriously you'll have to provide some concrete data.

being checked does nothing
pure rumor and speculation -

But if someone casts you a magic while you're crafting, everytime you end a synth you'll give a look at the target, which is pretty awesome =)

Has anyone else noticed that if you craft while singing the theme tune to pokemon, and sitting in water, while facing north east, on a tuesday, with butter spread over your bum, you will HQ every time?
No?
Just me? -

Actually if you close your eyes after you select an action it'll succeed every time! If you don't the synth knows you're looking and will fail on purpose.
Honestly though, almost anything and everything related to crafting is pure speculation aside from what's been officially stated and even some of that is outdated. Moon phases, weather, day, action/color combos, all pure 100% speculation. -

Yoshida has said before something along the lines of, if a game is confusing it isn't fun. I think he's going to clear up a lot of this crap, speculation and superstition alike. Even if you say it's ALMOST 100% certainty, it's not a fact. Also the moon phase in the game doesn't line up with the moon phase widget so it's hard to tell what's what. Either way I've noticed bad luck and good luck in any and every moon phase on various crafts, I've never personally seen conclusive evidence to support or deny moon phases doing anything.

I find that halfmoon helps for parts while full moon and new moon helps for finished items. Its a general impression tho, never had patience or will to collect data on that. But whenever i fail ridiculously simple finished item, it seems to be a half moon. Also i have impression that I have better luck on drop on a full or new moon while farming.

Is this the first documented case of crafting madness?
-
05-18-2011, 09:37 AMShinigamiJust like in ffxi... the orientation when you craft (North, East, West or South)Quote:

Yes, I agree it's hardly a science. I had someone check me 10 times and 10 times not checking while crafting and 5 of the times he checked I had more fails. Could be just random though. I thought I would see if anyone else noticed this and I think from the response the answer is no. Thanks for the input.

I am NOT saying that poking someone or checking them will or even may cause a person to fail. I am just saying lets not flame people so quickly and cause the OP to derail. these forums are full of to many trolls...
with that said. I have not noticed that when people check me while i craft i fail more. but i will give it a test and give my results later.
