How important is appraisal to you crafters?

[zaviermhigo]

Appraisal was more important before they first update local leves, (when we used to have 1-2 less tries) now I don't see a big use for them since you're not very likely to get that much better of a reward and most over 20 leves now give guildmark rewards which aren't that variable.

OK another question for the fishermen, wtf is wrong with fishing and why do i "lose the fish" so many damn times no matter where I fish and how I fish and what bait I use and I even have gathering armor on me to boost my skills. Why is it such a tedious process?? takes forever to get any SP off it unless you're doing leves and those are even a pain in the ass sometimes too.

There's 2 things I look for when doing a craft leve, the SP and the possibility for the guild marks in the reward. Appraisal is the last thing on my mind. Also because of the bold synth nerf a while back (used to have better net gain on bolds all the time) I don't go for quality unless it's a synth outside of a leve I'm making an attempt to HQ for.

I believe you hit gathering fatigue. SE has a system where you have an internal counter that reduces every time you gather something, after a point you get reduced gains and can fail more often even if you managed to hit your item.

or hes using the wrong type of bait

I'm using lug worms in the ocean, seems trivial to me. Gathering fatigue seems to come quick then? how lame, I hope they get rid of fatigue in every aspect in the game, wut a stupid system.

Just curious because I'm just starting crafting (rank 5 cook) and I'm looking at this and thinking the risk for going bold bold bold isn't as rewarding as the SP reward you get for going standard most the time - atleast with standard you give yourself a better chance of succeeding the synthesis and getting the SP whereas with bold you risk losing quite a bit of durability and losing the synth and SP...on the other hand if you manage to raise your appraisal to a high number is the risk worth *that* reward? Jesus Christ I'm glad I'm not a public speaker cuz looking over this paragraph again I barely understand what I'm even asking buuut I'm sure you guys get the gist of it :P

lol, laughed at that last part

It depends the leve, if its a low enough leve with stuff like toad skin for the reward, I'll go for appraisal. if I'm leveling through the leve, I wont. It can do with more rewards for high scores though.
