  • Crafting Woes

    Ok, so crafting is fun and all, and sure it can be profitable, but sometimes, you just have one of those days. . .

    I'm lvl 81 leather craft, and tonight I attempted to HQ 5 high value synths, 2 Narashima's Cesti (cost to make, ~140k) and 3 Amemet Mantles (cost to make ~170k)

    Vishnu's Cesti (the HQ of Narashima Cesti) don't sell often on Asura, but I wanted to see If I could get it to sell, and for how much. I was estimating 600k, as that's around what the others had sold for in the past.

    Amemet Mantle +1's go for around 700k right now on Asura.

    So, total cost of synths is ~790k, total potential sales value 3.3 million.

    Like i said, lvl 81 leather, narashima's cesti is approximately lvl 51 synth, Amemet Mantles is approximately lvl 61 synth. So I'm pretty far above both recepies.

    I *of course* wait till the new moon to do the synths. . . but i see according to the vanadiel timer i use, theres no darksday during this new moon. I wanted to do the synths on a darksday new moon, but i decided to go with the element that is strong against the crystal of the recepie. Both recepies are earth, so I do all 5 synths on windsday.

    . . . .

    the result? 0/5 HQ synths. >< :mad:

    Where did I go wrong?

    maybe you just got "unlucky". Sometimes I do a level 3 synth, and dont get HQ 3-4 times in a row... and I'm 60 levels above it, so its not suprising that you may get 5 non-HQ in a row. That said, I "think" that the day you chose might have been bad, but I'm not certain since I don't have enough experience with HQing.

      You need at least lv90 leathercraft + imagery to HQ amemit mantle.

      I have lv96.5+2 leathercraft, 1/3 HQ for amemit mantle on windsday today, 1/3 HQ for amemit also on darks day last new moon.

        Hmm, so new moon is more important for HQ synths than light's day? My information is awfully outdated. :mad:

        No wonder I couldn't get a single HQ synth on roast mushroom (caps at 16) with 45 skill.

          Tried to do some synth today to make money, at 100% full moon lightday today, went 6/12 HQ on corsette, made a sniper ring +1 with sig on it, total of 4 syn, but failed on a black cotehardie, orz.

          That was the second sniper ring +1 i've made, the first one I made was when I had lv89 leathercraft, with imagery support.

          Also made 2 flora cotehardie before, and like 5/16 HQ for amemit mantle.

            Wow. Seems all the high level Leathercrafters visit this forum over KI. I haven't tried to make any HQ stuff lately out of Amemit Mantles and such. However, I do have plans to make a signed Brigandine armor +1 once I finish skilling on Darksteel Sheets in smithing. Cloth, i'm hoping to get to 60 soon and get it out of the way...so all I have to do afterwards is finish up smithing and I think i'll have a fairly good chance of it. I hope...
