70.5+2 and kinda stuck, gemed rings are soo much loss, gold has risin about 20k a ingot in the last 2 weeks, yet the rings have droped 10k

[Smurfxxx]

I did glance at guide and a few others, but in the end I ended up just takeing some advice from some JP friends of mine on Alexander, and just working with the synth list on mysterytour.

Over all your guide upto 67 is very close to what I have done. Not totaly but not bad, there are a few parts I disagree with, because I feel starting the lvl 35 rings at 27 is just a BIG pit hole. But hey, thats just me. But like I said, over all I like it and I will recoment this guide to others.

By the way, I pulled off Goldsmithing 0.2 to 60 in 5 days. 3 of those days I did very little to nothing. lol 1 day I went 1 lvl, other day I went like 2 lvls...

And this is a big step, on Alexander, the only people past mid-70s are JP players..

this thread is :love

we've got a ton of goldsmithers all of a sudden on Asura that have pl'd to get to the last hq tier on rocks.

Black rock 15-20k a piece now ( lol )
-Painite price 150-170k
-Deathstone price 300k

Most of the other colored rocks are close to the guild price ~7k.
You can make gil off it, but its getting bled dry and you have to camp the auction houses/guild to get your hand on rocks.
I'm sitting on 4 deathstones, 1 diamond, 1 angelstone and 4 painites at the moment, the market is pretty saturated so stones are moving slow.

Oh, and i'm going to double post my synth today because im proud of it lol
-----------------

79 goldsmithing skill versus 90 skill Wingsword

Total materials (2 stage synth)
2 rubies
1 topaz
1 emerald
2 platinum ingots
2 gold ingots
Darksteel Sword
Mercury　
Manticore Fang
Mithril Ingot

1st attempt, yeah I was feeling lucky :love
talk about an adrenalin rush - no skillup though rofl

I've got about 8 more jagdplautes that ill turn into wing swords, but not until i'm 86+ so i can have a small chance of hq'ing it I have a couple friends that want one signed but I don't want to risk any more synths at my current level.

Go to Mhaura Goldsmithing Guild for rocks. :boing

[Rirague]

Ill get my goldsmithing up once I have ww to 100 >.>

[BlueNu]

jesus, all stones at ah are 2k on cerberus, some 3k

guild is gernealy maxed (mhrua is a bit lower cuz ppl dont hit it frequently)

painite 20k, deathstone 200k

orz at the econ differences

[Navia]

finally hit 80, there's no getting around 4mil per 1.0 in the 70-80 range overall.
Had some downright awful runs trying to skillup, going 10 synths with nothing, then back to back skillups.
Overall it averages out to 20-25% skillup rate but you have to just ride out the bad streaks which is why i like having enough gil per skilling session to see at least a .1 out of it.

[Tohoru]

I'm finally getting out of the 50s, Synthing Gold Ores from 50-53 was very bad for me, at 52 it took me 42 synths just to get to 53, every synth was 5-16k loss (differed a lot, it took me quite awhile to get all those ores).
I also tried Gold Earrings, but they sold very bad on my server and I ended up losing 2 gold ingots (of a stack) and sold the earrings for 20-40k loss each (very low demand).
So I directly went over to hydro claws,which yielded me very good skill ups, it took me from 53-56 16-26 skill ups, but from 56 on they started to suck for me it took me 37 synths for the level up. >
According to this guide and Navia Mythril Cuisses suck for skill ups and the cost on my server are also about 30k higher than hydro claws, but for me they were very good it took me only 18 synths to get to 58 and that's where I'm now. Unfortunately I'm just another time broke and waiting for gardening results to go on, Plat nuggets are 20-30k profit each synth on my server so I'll start with it at Lv59 I think.

[BlueNu]

i was 71 doing moonring blades, and i like to craft 1 lvl at a time..

36 sets of material (36 gold ingots)

i got .9 in like 14 tries... i was fricking way ahead of the game...

0/22... fricking couldnt get that 72... ended up desynthing a lot of the blades and got .1 after like the 3rd gold ingot

sometime goldsmithing makes you wanna tk yourself

[ShadowNight]

i feel yeah im kinda at your stage, currently 72.2+2, any synth is 100k loss minimum. and well im gettnin pretty damn broke, have my 63 ninja gear im gonna sell to continue leveling, scorp harness has hit 7m, i think i payed a lil under 4 for the claw about a year ago, if i get really despreate gonna sell my juggernaut id really hate to sell it but, what can you do, payed 3.5m for it and now it sells for 15m +, so that should get me a decent chunk of skills.

[Navia]

Passing the final hq tier on rock cutting is when you can pretty much transistion to sitting around town and synth all day to make gils. Selling gear to fund skillups once you cross 70 just means you are getting impatient or not concentrating enough on using your craft to make income.
I dont recommend relying on HQ stones for all your gil, theres enough to be made off of hq'ing lowlevel rings/earrings and desynthing certain things to keep you constantly busy. I have some mules that do nothing but sell turqoise/goshenite/etc, others that sell exclusively rings/earrings. It seems like overkill but you have to nickel and dime your way (10-40k profit per synth on quick sellers) to amass enough gil to throw away 100k+ on a skillup synth.

I just need to push onward to 81, then I have crossed the last HQ tier on level 14 rings and the 2nd tier of level 36 rings using adv support. I have a feeling my agressive selling of rings/earrings will not go unnoticed :wink

[ShadowNight]

yeah i know lol, rocks are my main income source, and all my left over nq's are turned into lvl 14 gemed rings, or energy earings ( god bless the lower jueno gem shop). 70-80 defenetly the hardest thing ive done in game. i dont much play my ninja anymore, gettin tired of xp all togeathr, and well just waitin on ridill to drop so i can sell my jugg .

Why do you like to make me cry? I just dinged 61 tonight with a 30 min lvling session on plat ore w/ 6 plat nuggets.. It was interesting.

I need to get back to skilling up been so busy for the past week. {/sigh}

[ShadowNight]

goldsmithing is the devil.

[Calima]

Got today 0.3 on 5*Gold Buckler... 72.2+2 now hehe.
Yesterday was bad,wrong day (Fulll Moon),35* only 0.7... bad.

Diging own Philosopher Stones/Gold Ores helps alot.

Gold Orc Masks also an good way,hmm is 54.3+1 Goldsmith = better succes (52 Mog:Lightning) ?

[Leathlord]

.

[BlueNu]

gogo alchemy

This is the way i'm making gils now, once i get apron I'll try to work more on HQ lvl 14 rings.

[Leathlord]

I always found that the closer you are to 52 (not over) the better sucess you have at it. Desythesis is weird.
