Only one Craft Skill over 60?

[cs001x]

My roomate told me this evening his Linkshell was talking about crafting and someone said that only ONE craft could go over 60 while the others would cap out at 60... is this true or were they full of crap?

[Vandle]

Its bullcrap, Because Some items require lvl 80 in 2 skills ~ I think
.. ah here we go ,
lvl 72 Alchemy -
Goldsmithing (72)
Gold Armet
Fire
Copper Ingot x1, Gold Ingot x1, Sheep Leather x1, Mercury x1, Cermet Chip x2

http://www.killingifrit.com/page.php?id=77 Bottom of the list, Im sure there are others as well~

It's true from what I've heard.
All of the craft skills can hit 60 and from there you have 40 points to distribute. So it is possible to either have 100 Goldsmithing and 60 in all the rest or 80 in Alchemy and 80 in Smithing.

I think its more like you can have a skill at 100, then you can distribute your extra 40 points anywhere you want.
Exception in fishing(As I heard)

So you can have 100 blacksmith, 100 goldsmith or 100 blacksmith 90 goldsmith and 70 clothcraft.

If not, how the hell could you do this equipement :

Because those item listings are wrong.

Above 60 you can only have one skill up to 100, the rest will be 60 or below.

This is the only decent FFXI site in english and even that doesn't have a lot of the skills listed :-

Go ask the JP players.

The problem is my cooking is 70, and I want woodworking to be over 60 instead of cooking. I kinda got the jist of what a JP player said though. He said that If cooking 70 and you start to raise woodworking cooking will automatically go down as woodworking goes above 60... hope hes right.

[PetriW]

If it is like that I hope that cooking goes down only if you actually get 61 woodworking, would be a total bitch if fell on 60.1 after a 0.2 skillup. :sweat:

And there would be several problems if it worked like that, I for example make my own yagudo drinks, which becomes trivial at 62 skill.

You can only have one synth past 60 right now, all other synth skills are capped at 60. This is true.


And the thing about KillingIfrit site, is that they can be wrong too. If you read a lot of the information from that site, you will find out that they are direct JP translations copy/pasted from other sites, or have been changed slightly.

And seeing as how the synthing recipes on Killing Ifrit site, are translated from www.ffrecipe.com and ffrecipe never goes above 60 for a sub synth will tell you something.

You can have 100 in one synth and 60 in all others. It does not sequentially decrease for each skill.

This is NOT true. My bf has 67 in smithing and 61 in woodworking.

How it works is, after level 60, you have 40 extra points to spend. You can spend all 40 points on 1 skill or you can equally spend them on several tradeskills.

So, you can have 100 in smithing, all other cap at 60. Or you can have 80 in smithing, 70 in alchemy, 70 in gold smithing and all others cap at 60. As far as decrease point if you break the 40 points cap, I have yet to see a confirmation. The only thing I've seen is when taking advance skill test @ 60, guildmaster will tell you not to mess around with other skills too much or you might lose focus on the current tested skill. Hope this clear up some confusion.
