Goldsmith Guide By Fellow Players

[Shampooo]

This is the guide I used to get goldsmith to 30. The () are the actual rank. You can try to synth any receipe 10 ranks above you. If you are using goldsmith main hand make sure to wear dexterity jewelry and load in dexterity traits.

Goldsmith (4) - Copper Nugget - yellow copper oreX4, fire shard X10

Goldsmith (4) - Brass Nugget - copper ore X3, zinc ore X1, fire shard X14

Goldsmith (5) - Copper Fish Hook - copper nugget X1, water shard X3, fire shard X3

Goldsmith (12) - Copper Earring - copper nugget X2, wind shard X3, fire shard X3

Goldsmith (14) - Copper Ring - copper nugget X2, fire shard X3, wind shard X3

Goldsmith (18) - Brimstone - pyrite X4, fire shard X1

Goldsmith (22) - Brass Earring - brass nugget X2, wind shard X3, fire shard X3

Goldsmith (28) - Spoon Lure - brass nugget X1, brass wire X1, bronze gorgehook X1, fire shard X4, wind shard X3

Goldsmith (32) - Silver Earring - silver nugget X2, fire shard x6, wind shard X6

Goldsmith (33) - Silver Needle - silver nugget X1, fire shard X6, wind shard X6

Goldsmith (38) - Darksilver Ring - brimstone X1, silver nugget X2, fire shard X8, wind shard X6


I made copper nuggets and brass nuggets 1 - 6. I made copper fish hooks 6 - 8. Copper Earring 8 - 11. Copper Ring 11 - 16. Brimstone 16 - 17. Brass Earring 17 - 21. Brass Ring 21 - 25. Spoon Lure 25 - 28. Silver Needle 28 - 30+. This is a fairly cheap way to get to 30 on gold.

Its worthless to load up DEX unless your trying to HQ....even then it doesnt really effect it much.

Untrue. I've failed many synths that I was previously having much success with, and was bewildered until I discovered I forgot to equip my flourite rings. Once equipped, I was having success again.

Except SE has explicitly stated that those stats really only affect HQ.

Attributes themselves have little influence over the progression of an actual act of synthesis. The higher the stats on the tool being used to craft, however, the easier it will be for the Quality value of the synthesized item to increase. Though results vary from recipe to recipe, a higher Quality value means that a synthesis attempt is more likely to produce either a high-quality item,* or a high-quantity yield.

Also, as the primary and secondary tool stats are different for each Disciple of the Hand class (see list below), it is important to focus on those associated with the class that you most wish to develop.**

Placebo effect. Dex has no effect on success rates. Notice how many people say the same exact thing you do...except instead of equipping rings, they get up and turn 90 degrees.

It's all head tricks. Don't believe yourself. You're lying to you.
