I agree with the Break Synthing Skillup method. As long as you do the math correctly, making sure you're losing less money this way than success synthing, it has another bonus.

This is being able to use the same ingredients again for ANOTHER synth. This has several advantages.

Say you succeed 80 times. You've lost 80 of Ingredient A and 500K on selling the product.
Then you fail 80 times. You lost 40 of Ingredient A and 500K in breaks of Ingredient A.

The difference is after the second scenario, you still have 40 of Ingredient A left. You don't have to buy out the AH again (assuming there's any left) and drive up the price of Ingredient A, making you lose more money in the long run.

Also, to help this method, you should use a powerful moghouse energy. This reduces the chance of losing ingredients.

In Alchemy and Cooking, I would find the cheapest recipe I could up to 10 levels away. I'd then go crafting on Lights Day, Full Moon with advanced support. I would succeed maybe 1/2 synths, but get skillups almost every success, even to 94+.

Good luck.
