Class/Level: Weaver 41

Party or solo: Party and Solo

In-game time: 4:33

Area and coordinates: Old Gridania (y14,x10)

Steps:
1. I was crafting (Weaver 41) recipe called for lightnig shards only. I used "Brand of Lightning" (Saposed to double progress of recipes when affinity is lightning)
2. I noticed the discription of "Brand of Lightning" reads- "Incresses Progress. Progress doubles when recipe affinity is wind." (should double for lightning not wind)
3. I noticed I did not recive double progress (would have been 162 progress) instead i recived 81 progress, same as basic synthisis gives 81. tried on several recipies that use lightning shards and still only recieved 81 progress.
4.the other 5 "Brand of" abilities all read correctly. (Brand of Fire-progress doubles when recipe affinity is Fire, Ice doubles Ice, Earth doubles earth, Water doubles water, and Wind doubles wind. so two of the 6 "Brand of" Abilities read doubles progress of wind affinity recipies, and I assume "Brand of lightning" doubles wind progress since it dosnt grant lightning and the discription reads wind!
5. So to sum it up... Brand of lighting has an incorrect discription and also dose not grant the effect that was intended for it to grant.

The affinity isn't tied to the type of shard/crystal you use. It says specifically in the recipe whether it has a certain affinity in special text - check the tooltip of a particular item. At level 41, the only Lightning Affinity items you'll see are the ones that require a 'ruined item' as part of the ingredients. Chef's Apron is a good example.

Yeah, the "Brand of ___" abilities only apply to the "Vintage" type items. When you begin a vintage lightning recipe on Weaver you'll see the little white crafting orb be covered in a very cool Lightning animation. Brand of Lightning only works on these recipes.

For these recipes you'll usually get 19-25 progress normally, and 40-50 progress if you use the correct "Brand of ____" ability. These recipes can be quite difficult to finish without the correct Brand.

ok gotcha! ty for explaining that But the wording is still incorrect? It should say it doubles for lightning affinity and not wind.
