    SE just needs to rethink this previous patch on grinding and try to find a middle ground between then and now.

    ewww just use Preserve, Fulfillment, Maker's Muse. and grind on synths 8-10 levels above your current level and you'll get 600-700 EXP and if you use the Engineers manuals it is 900-1050 a synth.

    IF using the abilities mentioned actually helped that may be the case but sadly they dont . Oo

    its all totally random no matter what you use its always a 50/50 chance imo.

    i cringe at the change of lighting, a lag spike, ppl running by, if the moon and sun arent lined up right, if the clock just hit the hour, if i had to stand to retake food inbetween synth......eeek!...it all boils down to luck.

    you can wait...then wait and wait for a white then ...fail.
    you can preserve to white then fail...
    makers muse and fail.

    and even start a new synth 3 lvs lower and first standard synth, not only fails but destabilizes, lol ( with great gear, guild buff and food).
    stating 8-10 lvs above is just a bit of a stretch i think.

    i dont have too many complaints about it being an actual grind, thats not the issue for me. but the utter randomness regardless of all these factors that apparently "help" imo, has to go.

    uhhh i have definately noticed a large increase with the skills that boost success. But keep in mind it will never make it 100% it just boosts your success.

    you really got leather 50 wo using them? its pretty hard to craft higher level stuff without them.
