First craft around

[Ralliare]

Ahh right, Unless I'm missing something obvious I don;t think I've had sparking since the revamp to the crafting system.

Manage to get BSM to 30, I now see how much easier going around crafts the second time could be. The BSM 30 skill to lower the craft to my lv and makers muse combined, I could do crafts way above my lv. All the quality + ones combined must make EXPing easy as sin.

You do get a lot more EXP as you use abilities to raise the Quality. With Rested Bonus and Engineering Manuals, 2000+ per synth is very common. 5000+ per synth is also possible when the stars align in your favor. ^^

But of course the amount needed to go up to the next level also goes up, so it's still quite a grind.

I think Aetherial sparking only happens as a visual cue that your synth is in trouble... I haven't noticed any negative effect on the synthesis process even when it is sparking. But usually at that point I'm just trying to raise the Quality as much as possible before finishing it off.
