I just wanted to throw a theory around. Do you think that true synthesis (making items from raw materials) yields better skillup than upgrade synthesis? (bone patas > hydro patas in this case)
Here's the situation:
Awhile back I was synthing silver bangles to skill up goldsmithing. My skill was at 42 +adv. support, and silver bangles trivials at 49. I synthed on firesday, using a fire crystal, 10% waxing moon phase. The results were phenomenal.
Skill difference from trivial: 7 to 4
Synths: 38
Failures: 2 (5.26%)
Skill Gained: 3.2 (84.21%) where .1 per synth = 100%
Skill Rate @ 42 skill: 11/12 (91.7%) gained a level with a .2 skillup
Skill Rate @ 43 skill: 9/14 (64.3%)
Skill Rate @ 44 skill: 10/9 (111.11%)
Skill Rate @ 45 skill: 2/3 (66.66%)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right now, I'm synthing Hydro Patas - trivial 68. I'm at 61 skill + GS specs and adv. support, exact same conditions as before (firesday w/ fire crystal, 10% waxing)
Skill Difference from trivial: 7-6
First I synthed with GS Specs and adv. support:
Synths: 12
Failures: 2 (16.67%)
Skill gained: 0.1 (8.33%)
Then I thought, maybe I should take off my specs:
Synths: 15
Failures: 5 (33.33%)
Skill gained: 0.4 (26.66%)
Then I thought, maybe I should try without support, but that resulted in me failing and losing material 4 times in a row, at which point I gave up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I probably included alot of useless details in regards to my point, but I wanted to be as thorough as possible in case someone might be able to point something out that I hadn't thought of.
Maybe type of synthesis has to do with it? Or maybe things just get inherently harder at 60+ skill?
