Well, he forgot to say that its "rumored" to only affect onlu recipes that need it. There is no official info regarding guild buffs so everything is just rumor, just like be facing a certain direction or waiting a certain moon to craft.

People can just assume a certain theory from someone of from a certain fansite is true, but its still just a theory until SE say something (which might not ever happen...they never did after years of FFXI...so they might not here aswell)

If you prefer some different theory, the one i use (and, for me, has been more trustworthy), i like the one that says that each buff adds you a temporary rank to your class (common +1, guild +2 and master +3) and the recipes facility request actually adds a rank to recipe (common +1 and guild +2).

So, following this theory, if you have guild buff and the recipe requires guild buff, you will be receiving no bonus at all because one will be canceling the other.

But, again, these are all theories. I also like be facing north while crafting. I heard a theory about facing north helping you get better SP from each synth and be facing south helping you with HQ chances...after a few tries it does looked correct to me so i just adopted it. But no one can confirme or deny any of these theories so you can just have your own tests and adopt the one you feel its correct. ^^
