Why Ingenuity I and not Ingenuity II ?

[scarebearz]

There are many much more worthless skills then ingenuity II and much more worthless 50 skills then ingenuity II.

Even careful synth II itself is fairly worthless in the bigger scheme of things.

You're just trying to draw a line in the sand when there's really a net of arbitrary lines, I have tapped ingenuity II way before I tap reclaim/flawless/innovation/WN2, etc, etc, etc.

Heck I haven't ever tapped flawless/WN2/reclaim ever, and innovation for rare lazyness, so that already bumps ingenuity II to 3rd-4th place.

Being a more useful skill than WNII, Reclaim and Flawless, does not make it a useful/needed skill...

Flawless is of more use to most people, i.e. those leveling a new craft.

Also the fact you use Ing II, again does not make it needed.

"Limited usefulness" and "worthless" are not the same thing...

Instead of arguing with me about Ing II, why not answer the OP's question?

Should he get Byregot's + Ing or Ing II first?

Should he get Byregot's + Ing or Ing II first?

neither. the 1st should be steadhands II. Blessing is important, but hardly "necessary". If you HQ, then begyrot is near pointless to the level advance synth is nearly equal.

And talking about 2stars when you're talking about blessing is a contradiction. No one is ready for 2 stars until you have a much much large array of cross skills.

The most probable one, can do on that level is 1star, and in such a case, neither would help much in such a case, as they would need a whole host of skills.

And leveling is debatable which skills you choose. I have done just as well during leveling crafts using II (because you don't get standard synth for a long time) to careful synth, to even innovation(totally unnecessary, but it's worked out well without blessing), etc.

Blessing isn't the end all of crafting. before we did blessing, we did tricks farming, and before that, we rely on good old raw stats.

You can do 2stars even without a single blessing, it's not that hard, just a little more random.

The reliance on blessing is what leads to these frivolous questions, because they forget about "crafting" and just remember "rotation". I would even say to go so far that blessing has ruined crafters ability to HQ better. When one's mind is solely wrapped up on a blessing, they can't adapt to different situations, and they are stuck in "I have to get blessing off, or else".

Seems your only here to troll and not interested in actually answering the question, to be honest.

His cul was already 50...
