Luminary tools- a real achievement

[Nero]

It is correct. I just got the rank 11-20 Blacksmithing achievement doing Iron Ingots and Rivets. It required 300 seperate and successful synths. Additionally, Hasty Hand makes for short work of this process. It's possible to average 10 synths every 5 minutes, 120 every hour (assuming you succeed every time). There's a small chance of failure, about 10-15%.

Then SE seriously needs to rename it, or Change the counting to the actual Items. Idc which one, it just has to be clear.

I don't think this has been answered (if it has, I apologize in advance): do synths from guild leves count towards the achievements?

It would be quicker and cheaper to double/triple meld the next best tool than to get these. Probably end up with better stats too.

Look, nobody here is saying "GIVE ME MY GOLD TOOL ON A GOLD PLATE NAO!" What we're trying to point out is the challenge gradient between the DoM/W achievement and the DoL/DoH. Think about this for example:

SE could have made the P.Crown requirement:

As each DoM/W; (POST-PATCH kill 4,000 enemies lvl 41-50, 3,000 enemies 31-40, 2,000 21-30 etc etc.

This would have made the challenge about equal to obtain an All-Class best Headpiece as the DoL/DoW challenge to obtain the tool that works for ONE class. Had they gone about it something like this, the playing field would be level and we could all start the grind to obtain our hard-earned achievements (or at least be complaining on a united front). Instead they chose the current system for the P/Butcher's Crown, and those of you trying to convince us that this isn't a big deal are probably trying to do so with your shiny new crown currently on your digital head.

That's the issue here; fairness.

And for those of you spouting "free" and "entitlement", I'm pretty sure my $90 Collector's Edition, 8,000 Crysta before we knew the year would be free, and $1400 NEW PC JUST TO MEET THE SPECS OF AN INCOMPLETE GAME, DO entitle me to submit my opinion.

SE definitely has database about how many times you craft or log.
the problem is from Oct 2010 to now, they made so many changes on the recipes lvl, exp reward etc. so they are lazy to make up some formula to estimate, even they know when you have certain level (check your history in lodestone profile, they having it).
i am #5 to get Miner lvl 50 in my server under fatigue system, only can dig 150times everyday. the new achievement system just make me think we should play from now not 1 year ago, that is really frustrated me.
SE keep on hurting die-hard fans, PL make ppl get 1-40 in 1 day, crafting leves etc.
also make me wonder, what they will do on V2.0? everything you do right now will be like a joke that time.

Yoshi mentioned that some achievements will not be possible after 2.0. If my gold Hatchet/Saw is going to be that rare then it will be worth it.

(50 synths until I unlock Going with the Grain III!)

this is just the first

[darkstarpoet1]

the ones that like the dol/doh achievements made completely new characters to start all classes and jobs from scratch along with the killing of the mobs again, right? i know you want to redo everything you have done up til this point so i know everyone did that.

you did all make all new characters so you could make long term goals of the game by starting from scratch didn't you?

oh you didn't?

hypocrites

[rocky]

oh btw, i think SE should set achievement for war/mag jobs:
kill certain amount mobs per lvl range and in certain area.

use certain kind of spells how many times.
