Oh dear oh dear that Tom guy was a shmuck.

When people drop to the buying gil argument they should just leave and save face.

At first he was pissing me off, but then it got to a stage where I was cringing of embarrassment for the guy.

when 100+6 woodworking, you will try to do hq staves, and those are expensive (and on my server the pricing is starting to even out, and become "break even" even with hq) - test then, cuz thats gonna be a synth you will prolly do often :love

at that point, you have 2 options, tell the world the star chart, or tell them something better if you found something better - something tahts hq after hq...

or, keep taht to yourself

honestly, i think making this a sticky is misinformation - its general information, making it a sticky would make more ppl believe in it (however they might, as i do perhaps...)... just cuz its stickied...

tom is being such a prick, he really is, but the little point he might have - i must agree, this shouldnt be stickied quite yet... this stuff is plastered everywhere, and everyone goes by it, they dont know why they just do... they believe in it and when it works, it works, when it doesnt they blame it on luck..

again, i think it shouldnt be sticked :|

What do you mean? Earth was created in seven days by our omnipotent Lord and Father. He made Adam and Eve from the dust (some creationists say mud, but that's just silly) and the rest is history...

Aurik made a guide that is better known as the Weaver's Bible over at Alla. You should check it out Tom, been there forevor.

I followed it all the way up to 98 in the last year or so, he is old school, you are an amateur scrub.

You're probably one of those 100 cooks who thinks you are a real crafter i bet huh lol?

Edit I took the time to look it up for you:

This is the most updated version, there was a 3.0 and a 2.0 version out even farther back then this one he made as well I believe.

GGs foolio.

Well i craft a lot also and i must say that for me has worked, dunno if its a myth or not but worked, heres a picture crafting with dark crystals and facing nort...



and here's the original compass:



like someone said myth or not facing the rigth direction wont take much time.

My 2 Cents

[!Kojack!]

Drachen you are one lucky guy
Tom you sound like you have a pile of retard in your backyard, and you rub your face in it everyday

[Goneja]

I made a wheel that might be useful but im not too sure how to add it to the post...can anyone help me out?

[!Kojack!]

slap the pic onto an image hosting site, such as http://www.photobucket.com, then grab the url of the pic and post it with at the beginning and end of it:

Cool Thanks Kojack /bow

OK. Here's my remake of the crafting charts that are around the web and KI. I was bored at work one day so i thought it would be fun to make it. While I'm not 100% convinced that the direction theory is true (I've face all kinds of directions and have always gotten random results from all of them) it never hurts to try it out. I tried to make it easier to read for some of the newer crafters like myself. Some of the charts out there, while really cool like Megatron's, are a bit hard to figure out if you don't quite understand the whole crafting direction theory. Hopefully I've created something that can be used by both the pros and the greenhorns.

To the pros: please let me know if there are any mistakes in this. I want to make this a good chart for everyone

Here it is.

[Blnk88]

I like the last compass :-D

aurikan :
You know you've lost the argument when you start accusing people of buying gil.

99% of my wealth comes from crafting. Chances are I was Journeyman in 2 crafts before you even purchased this game.

< heres another veteran crafter that things this is voodoo nonsense. same with day/moonphase/time of day/etc, for the record.

Maybe day and time of day, but moon makes a difference... with 100 leather, did you not notice a significant drop in skill ups when you were at low moon after 70+...? I sure as hell did -.-

[Wizerd]

38 Tier 1 crafts NQ, then I face NW out of randomness and fun, and get HQ. Screw directions. XD

Moon doesn't affect anything but fishing, I got near perfect skill ups from 90 to 100 on all moon phases, even new moon.

[Dr. Ifto]

I find wind synths do extremely well on watersday so >.>

[errorrrr]

To be sure true or not true, someone should test this? Since i am only 50 goldsmith I dont' really have much to test :/ Maybe you lv100 crafter should do this? It'll have to be same moon, and same day, but 2 different direction... time of day I don't believe it matters. Keep in mind, to have the msot accurate test, law of large numbers must be followed... in another word, do A LOT of synths... if you want to convince one side...

[LexiconDevil]

laretheo :
lol you guys are silly thanks for the entertainment at work and woot i craft and from my sessions i get more skillups if i face the opposite direction of the crystal i'm using but eh people will probably call BS on it and everything but surely i will keep doing it cuz I feel it works for me and that is all that matters tom likes having pissing contest's on KI seen him show is e-penis on more then one thread in KI lmao guy must be bored

I agree with the directions... i was crafting scorp shells from 53-60 bonecraft, and i had went through 200 shells by the time i was 56 BC. I was crafting on iceday and still rarely got synths. I started turning directions for 10 synths or so and i eventually found that i got a ton more skill ups by facing east. Whcih later i found was the direction for ice. Coincidence i guess.
