Questions Regarding Synthesis/Gathering Stats

[Ventus]

I haven't had much like finding a really solid source that explains how basic stats like:

DEX/STR/VIT/MND/INT/PIE affect crafting/gathering

and also stats like control/perception/magic as opposed to regular craftsmanship etc.

If someone could guide be on how this works I'd appreciate it!

Bonus Question:
What is the max amount of materia you can meld to single piece? I've seen quad meld O.O

1. How do the base stats affect crafting and gathering?

DoH stats
Base attributes for Disciples of the Hand will increase the resulting product's quality.
• Carpenter
- Main Hand: VIT / Off Hand: DEX
• Blacksmith
- Main Hand: STR / Off Hand: MND
• Armorer
- Main Hand: VIT / Off Hand: STR
• Goldsmith
- Main Hand: DEX / Off Hand: INT
• Leatherworker
- Main Hand: VIT / Off Hand: INT
• Weaver
- Main Hand: DEX / Off Hand: MND
• Alchemist
- Main Hand: INT / Off Hand: PIE
• Culinarian
- Main Hand: MND / Off Hand: PIE

DoL stats
STR: During the logging approach phase, it will be easier to determine the proper angle for each item.
VIT: During the mining approach phase, it will be easier to determine the proper force needed for each item.
DEX: During the fishing approach phase, it will be easier to determine the proper rod movement for each item.
INT: Number of items acquired by botanists will be increased.
MND: Number of items acquired by miners will be increased.
PIE: Number of items acquired by fishers will be increased.
Gathering: Lessens depletion of the Remainder gauge when using a main hand tool, and increases the chance of gathering. items when using an off hand tool.
Output: Increases the number of gathers or hooked fish.
Perception: Makes it easier to obtain high quality items.

2. What are these Control/Perception/Craft/M.Craft stats?
A: http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...f271d7a0a84d5f

Among recipes in the game, there are those for which the rate of progress and chance of success are increased by higher Craftsmanship, and those for which they are determined by Magic Craftsmanship. Control helps to reduce the occurrence of aetherial sparking (see below), and exerts its influence over both types of recipes just mentioned.

All recipes, however, have set attribute requirements. Attempting a recipe with attributes below those required will result in lessened progress and quality, even for successful actions.

It was also recently added that Control will help prevent/stabilize elemental instabilities.

Perception is for DoL, so I'm not sure why you're lumping it with DoH stats. Perception will do you no good while crafting.


3. What is the maximum amount of materia you can meld onto a single piece?
Five


If those answers lead to more questions, feel free to ask.

You sir are a scholar and a saint. Thank you!

stat for crafting quality increase is 0.1% increase per stat. so +100 stat will yield +10% quality

so 150 is about as high as you can get and still get crafting high enough.

chance of success are increased by higher Craftsmanship
140 is a good amount to get the successes, again, second to control to keep from going unstable.
80-100 magic craft is all i use to keep the color changing as i dont see it help with success on any crafts from ingots to potions. with +1 tools, and shoes, mag craft is easy to get to 100.

any one not doing a full control build should try it and see the different with successful finished crafts and high quality successes with less unstable synths

Did some testing. Your numbers are quite off but I must admit its rather hard to settle on a number.
