simply put, it's impossible to plvl "efficiently"
but uh if you want figures:
1 mil -> 54
3 mil -> 60
5 mil -> 64
11 mil -> 70
15 mil -> 75
20 mil -> 82
27 mil -> 87
30 mil -> 92
35 mil -> 95
42 mil -> 97
62 mil -> 100
give or take 10 mil  don't be jealous
actually be jealous, just don't bother me lol | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 09-30-2004, 04:51 PM | #92 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Posts: 113 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 98 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 98 Donate | | Quote: | | So I tried to take someone's advice here and make HQ rings out of the rocks that didn't HQ. Unfortunately, the rate of HQing rings at 53 is about 1/15-20 (with adv. support), which doesn't justify the loss of time and money. | Just as a bit of a note, something I've noticed and heard is that if you are getting guild support, you will have drastically less HQ results than if you are just going on your own. Advanced Support will help to ensure that your normal synths go well, but it won't do much for helping you to get those coveted HQ synths.

I've run into a bit of a brick wall levelling goldsmithing and I was hoping to pick your brains on this one.
I'm a level 52 Goldsmith and right now my options look to be levelling on gold earrings, gold hairpins, or those level 36 rings that no one wants. The rings on my server will net me about a 5-7k loss per synth. The earrings run about even and the hairpins are a 2k loss. The gold seems to be the best way to drag my skill up, but the 64k loss for a botch just kills me!
Please help a struggling taru ^.^

I started it just because I wanted these, and then happened to just really like the idea of crafting.
And yeah, it is from GoT. Made a lot more sense when I was a dragoon. Shame I couldn't stand the job.

Daenerys, the Hound and Arya where my favorites. I'd been The Hound for so long during my time on
Phantasy-Star Online I'd figured it was time for a change.
My quest for the shades began when noticing a high lvl Japanese
player whereing them on an airship trip once. Only 20,000 more points and more gil to the winds ><.  Necrosavant

results have varied for me so far, i'm 54.9, 53-54.2 went so slow i felt like i spent too much money, 54.2-54.9 i got in about 6 synths so that was all good =\  ~Aji | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 10-30-2004, 11:02 PM | #102 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Posts: 198 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 226 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 226 Donate | hmmm, i think i got through that hump by trying to HQ rocks. Rocks i didnt HQ i would turn into the rings that cap at 55 and just sell them to vendor. Then I think i took someone's advise and made the hydro claws and then i moved to plat ingots with plat beastcoins, then to nuggets. 64.5 now and im making plat earrings, rings, and hydro patas. Stuff sells so slow x.x | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 11-03-2004, 08:50 PM | #103 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2002 Posts: 240 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 24 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 24 Donate | noone on raggy makes claws i'm assuming there's a more profitable alternative to skill up on =(
considered doing axes but only 3 hydro axes been sold legit; either that or someone paid liek 320k for the wrong item =D
got to 57 with mythril cuisses. 1.5 skillup cost about 210k when you take out selling them to npc/ah. moved onto plat ingots with glasses and imagery. 6/8 were success got skillup on 3 of them for .5 total. it seems like to me everythign i skillup on before a new ingot type (silver, mythril, gold, plat) seems to be quite exp, and then ignots work out nicecly for break even/profit  ~Aji | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 11-03-2004, 09:48 PM | #104 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2003 Posts: 58 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 151 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 151 Donate | | Quote: | My quest for the shades began when noticing a high lvl Japanese

um.. i think on the claws i lost like 10k per synth or something. i just went to selbina and burned my gils buying them there. If you have someone that can craft those, it will help you immensely and you will save tons of gil.
