Crafting SUCKS hq rates are dead has anyone noticed? its possible to break even or worse but never possible to come up like awhile back before the recession. I think this is an attempt by SE to keep customers glued, they create these atrociously hard to get ingots at 1.150mil (on my server) and the only way to make you use to be able to make substantial gil to possibly afford those was by crafting. I swear i have crafted and crafted and it seems like I'm just pissing away my money. SE is fucking us. I'm cloth 98+3 by the way, if you are noticing horrible HQ rates as well, discuss.

Crafting SUCKS

I agree.

Now do us a favour and quit.

My HQ rate is fine.

<3 crafting, no idea how I'd make money without it tbh.

You could whore yourself out.

And though I'm not much of a crafter, when I do try to HQ I can usually get it. Maybe OP is doing it wrong?

[xurion]

Maybe doing it wrong from a tier point of view, but even if that is the case, I'd question how 90+ craft skill was reached.

All other ways of doing it wrong do not exist. Get crystal. Get materials. Synth. That is all. If you get less the amount of HQ you expect then it's bad luck. Get more than you expect and it's good. Simples.

i face SE, wear hq wind staff, wind+ torque(like windtorque or elemental) and do earth synths. tier1's are a pain and arent working lately

like i said no matter what you are just pissing away your money.. youll make a hq.. then lose all the profits.. then somtimes go negative.. then make a hq.. then you think jee i better just keep this gil and spend it on gear or something worthwhile cuz im never gonna make anymore.

like i said no matter what you are just pissing away your money..

Nope.

I'm making profit most of the time. Sometimes I lose money, sure, but most of the time, 100k~700k profit.

This.

It's about time you dumped all that shit in the 'voodoo bin' with all the other fail theories, SpringLove. I'll be the first to admit when I was a lowbie crafter way back when, I'd do all the things people told me I had to do in order to make better HQ rates.

It was simply obvious before I even hit 70+, it was all a load of shit that some people like to spew.

Don't be a sheep; stop following what others tell you to do. Hell, you may even find what you're doing now is actually preventing you from HQing. You never know.

[Dyra]

So how do we do it then?

[xurion]

So how do we do it then?

Get materials. Get crystal. Synth. If you get a HQ, well done. If not, try again.

[.Sotek.]

HQ rates are fairly static. Most crafters problem is that they spam synths. The wrong synths.

its all about averages. one batch ull HQ more then ur average, next bunch of batchs u NQ more and u feel like uve gotten robbed then go on a rant to all ur friends about how much gil uve lost (and u probably havent even lost that much when u really think about it) lol. and i make about the same every few weeks, but ur probably looking for a win big synth that will score u alot of gil in one shot.
