Hey all blacksmith!

Well, i do feel synthesis noticeble easier with master buff when they require no buff. Its like i said...everyone need to try the theories and adopt the ones they feel that work.

Maybe you don't because your equipment is too weak or too good...maybe its just coincidence...but i do notice how easier synths can become with master buff...but, anyway, it would be exactly like ingenuity...can you notice any difference when you use it?

Ingenuity makes a difference and pretty much everyone who has Ingenuity notices it as well. There is that occasional 3/4 fails even with Ingenuity up, but most of the time you have successful synths even on stuff 7-8 ranks above you.
I don't claim my word is the genesis, but I crafted a lot...really a lot and I can safely claim that Support did nothing for me the whole time. In fact I always just "assumed" it does something and used it until I hit early/mid 30s on my main crafts and noticed all the high rank crafters don't use support. So I started to try it for myself if there is any noticable difference with or w/o Support and after hundreds of thousands of synths, it made no difference except for lowering my Gil...
