| thanks for the replay I tried another half a dozen backplate on lightning day....
not pretty. 4 blew up and was lost. 2 success, and only gave bronze ingot. :mad:
sigh. I can desyn goblin mail into steel ingots left and right, but can't even get quad backplate to succeed 1/2 of the time.
BTW. Ding! 73 Smithing.... Now I'm at the painful part. Huge losses, here I come.
update: made 83 smithing! Wow, some truely painful levels! But I made it. Bastard sword and darksteel scythe just sells too damned slow. 1 a day, or 1 every other day.... After first 15 of them and only 0.3 gain, I gave up. It would take 2 weeks to sell them all! Sorry, I'm not waiting 6 weeks to gain a level! No sir! So:
For 73-76 I made darksteel gorgets. Fire + darksteel sheets + ram leather. Cost 11K to make, sells for 3.7K. So 8-9K loss per syn when failure is factored in. But luckly it's only for 3 levels. 300K loss per level. Heh.
76 - 83. Darksteel nodawas. Not as painful as darksteel gorget. I can't believe I was happy to see only 6K loss per syn. LOL!
But it's well worth it! Found my own personal niche while doing research to minimize the loss. The old saying "it takes money to make money is so true!" I love it. ^^ |
