Skysteel Tools

[Liam_Harper]

Remember a Superior Spiritbond potion + Manual if you're doing the Min+Btn relics, might as well stock up extra materia for 5.3 while you're out there.

I've been doing these at a gradual pace to fill time. The fact you can set them aside in the Glamour Dresser makes it worth doing just to have them ready.

btn was a bit mindnumbing, spread over 3 days, probably between 5-7 hrs.
I used 300gp skill on bonus hq node (~69%) to force it to 100%, n then spammed 100gp yield+ skill.

min was quite easy in comparison bc the nodes freq spawn with +yield, freq 3, sometimes 5, it only took about 2 hours.
used 300gp +hq skill only, spammed it on the +yield nodes.

fsh wasn't terrible also, I did it the same day I did min.
just patience I, precise hook. both fish are single !, so it just a matter of sitting there burning cordials. I think it took about 450 bait for both in total.

The crafting can easily macro so nbd there.

I have nothing but venomous seething discontent for this games fishing. I have slowly...swallowed some of that hatered in attempt to level it further

I actually found BTN to be easier than MIN since the nodes are so much closer clustering together. I think the procs really depends on luck. The procs for BTN was a lot better than MIN for me.

Anyway, all Dragonsung tools and all ShB relics done Now I'm just slowly doing Expert Recipes for achievements.

I like them because these tools won't cost me 3 million gil to pentameld. I mean let's face it- overmelding is very expensive.
So If I can spend one hour per crafting tool instead of 2-5 million gil per crafting tool, you can bet that's what I'm going to do.

+6 CP
+23 Control
-35 Craftmanship.

This right here is not worth the hundred failed melding attempts I'd need to get all of my tools overmelded. So from a practical standpoint, the Dragonsung win out.

I found BTN easier than MIN because I did MIN first and figured out how to best spend my GPs somewhat after I was half done.

Eureka is also an incredibly potent poetic source if you happen to be in there with other people spawning the NM's. I did a couple Eureka weapons post-SHB a bit ago and I was drowning in poetics. It's pretty crazy.

This. Not only could I buy all the relict weapons while I was leveling in Eureka, I also earned enough Poetics for another Anima. It's incredibly how much Poetics you get there.
