Congratulation Ljarin ^^)b
I note that ur GS goes up from 70+ from early this year to 100 by September. Could u share ur experience along the process. Obviously, minimize the loss and at least gain some healthy income during the process are significant. Could u shed some light on this aspects?
My thx in advance. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 10-29-2005, 06:22 PM | #141 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Posts: 86 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 823 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 823 Donate | Re: Gold Smithing 101?

One question, what lvl do I become a recruit? | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 12-07-2005, 11:20 AM | #142 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: North Louisiana :( Posts: 12 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 295 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 295 Donate | Re: Gold Smithing 101? I joined GS becaue of Copper ingots. You only need 5k for a stack of fire crystals, then around 9-20 gil for copper ores. If you start as soon as they open you can make a lil over two stacks of ingots (note bronze ingots for BS work too) at about 15-17k. So thats 10k for the crystals, but then two stacks of ingots bring in about 30-34K; making a great profit for newbies like me. In fact I wrote this out for newbies like me; Copper, Bronze, and Brass Ingots have been a central part of my gil for new spells ><
And Sam; I believe you can go recruit at lvl 8; you need a Copper Hairpin (please forgive me) if I'm wrong. I'm lvl 9 and am pretty sure recruit was my new rank.
Copper Hairpins can be bought at AH if you're lazy/lacking materials or gil to make one; cause by lvl 8 its *easy* to make Copper hairpins.

I'm only at level 28, but here is the path I took:
0-1 Copper ingots (Desynth from yag necklace)
0-3 Copper ingots (Copper Ore recipie)
3-9 Brass ingots (Zinc + 3 Copper, save these)
9-12 Silver thread (Requires 43 clothcraft minimum)
12-14 Coronettes ( Requires 11 Bonecraft)
14-18 Silver Ingots (Silver beastcoin recipie)
18-20 Silver Ingots (Silver Ore Recipie)
18-21 Shrimp Lure (sells for good profit)
21-24 Silver Bullet (Requires 49 Alchemy Minimum)
24-27 Silver Hairpin (Bridge synth, I skipped these)
24-28 Thief Tools (Sell for profit, but slowly, Requires Smithing and Woodworking)
25-31 Hirashin (Sells quick) <-- Currently here
I am a profit crafter, so I only make what I can sell each leveling session (maybe more if I know it'll move faster). I was lucky to have some other crafts leveled before Goldsmithing, so I was able to use multi-craft synths.  Balvenie

For 1-5 I've found synthing and desynthing Copper Rings to be the easiest. Two ingots to make the rings along with a fire crystal, then the ring and a lightning crystal desynths it. You can make, break, then remake the same ring over and over. On average I found three stacks of each crystal and two stacks of ingots work out well.
I've only started, but I found this method to be a lot mroe efficient than copper ore. For one there's the synth and desynth for skill ups trick, and two the ingots stack which make purchasing them less of a chore. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 06-19-2006, 12:14 PM | #146 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Reno, NV Posts: 131 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 2,233 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 2,233 Donate | Re: Gold Smithing 101? SKydust, I believe u can obtain your first major GP item at skill level 38. The apron is somewhere like 68, and the the last item is upwards in the 80's.

I had always thought synthesis support only helped the resulting product, but it does help your skill ups very much. I was amazed to see skill ups on every synth, while using fire crystals and facing West of course. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 06-26-2006, 12:56 PM | #148 (permalink) | | Ares's Cuirass Keeper of Knowledge Join Date: Jan 2003 Posts: 1,990 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 8 Thanked 31x in 25 Posts Gil: 495 Bank: 3,166 Total Gil: 3,661 Donate | Re: Gold Smithing 101?

After Months of saving Materials  I can Confirm that Goldsmithing lvl 70 to lvl 92 cost me at least 50 Million gil
Also lvl 92-94 cost me 10 stacks of Platinum ingots and about 2 Million in HQ Gems, roughly about 17 million. I desynth most everything, so I got some of the materials back. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 01-05-2007, 04:57 PM | #150 (permalink) | | KenKen Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Scranton, SC Posts: 23 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 2 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Gil: 1,272 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,272 Donate | Re: Gold Smithing 101?
