I've not seen anything mentioning this, so here goes...
I'm not sure about everyone else's experience in crafting with the abilities acquired through guilds especially, but mine are terrible. None of them seem to be working as intended and I'd like to see some info that things are at least being looked at. I know there is mention of new synthesis info in the next producer's letter, but it could be anything other than changes to the abilities.
Examples:
- Abilities such as resolution and sublimation not improving quality gains
- High Return actually yielding quite low returns
- No success with abilities during item synthesis 10+ levels below (why constant fails on white orb with maker's muse/fulfillment/ingenuity on a recipe much lower than your rank?)
These are just a few that I've used myself and have become frustrated with. At times you'll get the occassional success with one of the higher level abilities, but majority of the time you would be better off not to even have equipped them. This sucks because I actually like crafting, but it drives me crazy to fail synths when I know I should be able to complete them with the help of these cool sounding abilities.
What are some of your experiences or thoughts on this?
