question about craftmanship requirement

[Alise]

I have all the weaver AF set, and also the tool that got from level 50 quest, but my craftmanship is only around near 200, and then the requirement to make only 1* TwinThread is happen to be 275. so I wonder what gone wrong here ;_; what do I miss the huge 75 craftmanship from?

edit : another question..
-how do we know about recipe element if they require two type of shard?
-I use brand of lighting on lighting shard recipe, but why the progress does not increase by 200% according to skill?

If your only around 200, do you have the Militia Off hand tool? or any off hand tool for that matter. Those items are now considered equipment, and they have a very large impact on your crafting stats. They are no longer an option piece of equipment if you plan to craft higher level items.

I have only seen 1 synth actually light up w/ an element on it. Probably because I don't use the "brand" skill line. The time I did notice it however, an effect actually showed up on the crafting table, or my hammer, I can't remember which. It glowed firery red, which im presuming ment that the brand of fire would have then worked correct. I would think you can tell if a recipe is two types of elements based on the crystals/shards you actually need in order to synth that particular synth. Example, Recipie takes 5 water and 6 lighting shards = water/lighting elements possible.

>>> oh I didn't know that... so equip both and add status now? <,< in v. 1.0 I only use main tool..

thank, so basically brand of lighting only use when the lighting is spark then! I thought it can be use anytime if the recipe is lighting element.
