HQ system still really sucks

[Asiaine]

What? No. Each crafted item in the game has a threshold for required stats and if you are under those stats you will fail more often than if you had the appropriate craftsmanship or magic craftsmanship. This is coming from the words of a rep who posted on the topic.

Interesting... can you find the post? I did not see any such thing on Lodestone. Is it still applicable to 1.20+ time frame?

Also I should add:
While levelling 40-50 on Carpenter I did the same synth about 1500 times (I was in no hurry to optimize XP). I used the same equipment (which was basicaly nothing that helped) and never even bothered to upgrade my Saw.

Whilst I was under the level, lots of fails. Each time I levelled, less fails. Eventually reached a point where I hardly fail.

This was easy to observe: I did *ONLY* Standard Synthesis and nothing else. It was so easy/cheap that I even did it if I would fail not caring to hit a different key. I would then scroll back to see how I was faring after levelling and notice a significant improvement.

I also kept track by how many I successfully completed. I would start with enough materials for 100, and note: I made 90. Next time, 95... next time 99!

It is all about the DLVL ^^

Not everyone has 4-5 level 50 crafts and "uber gear" for crafting. Getting 1000 quality on a 51-60 synth is the crafting equivalent of beating Garuda.

Umm..... This is interesting comment.

You only need one level 50 craft (that of which you are trying to synth). The rest do not need to be above level 45 to get the appropriate skill.


I think it would be helpful if everyone could keep only to the 'cold hard facts' without having their emotions run high, which is understandable as crafting can sometimes be frustrating ^.^
