| Got goldsmithing from 0-27 last weekend, and lost about 150k in the process. Now I'm at a 'crossroads' of sorts; past 27 I can't seem to find any synths that aren't a huge loss.
Hiraishin would take me to 31, but it's about 7.5k in materials to make a stack of it that sells for 3k, so a 1.5k loss per synth (assuming no fails). Not too bad I suppose, estimate 80-90k to get to 31.
+1 Stat rings cap at 35, but materials to make one is about 5-7k depending on stone, and the non-HQ selling price varies from 1-1.5k, so this is at least 4k loss per synth, or an expected 50-70k gil per level increase.
I suppose Mythril Ingots from Beastcoins would be OK to make at lvl 31 (skillcap 38), as long as I don't fail too much I can break even or even turn a slight profit by reselling the ingots.
Any observations/ideas, especially past 38? Also, I noticed that gold orcmask + lightning is a desynth; is the success rate for that similar to all other desynths (that is, total and utter crap)? |
