Direction to face while crafting

[raidenn]

Is there a list or guide where to face while crafting?

Weren't you doing a test thread on this, Task? Did it ever go anywhere? Confirmed, debunked?

[EDIT: {Found it!}] It was Sevenpointflaw... A different Taru altogether... ("You people" all look alike to me. ^^ j/k although I do have trouble telling the difference between male/female tarus).

That was sevenpointflaw's thread. I didn't really participate and don't recall the result atm.

I just assume it's true. It's a trivial matter to turn your character the "right" direction before starting your synthing, and the impact is reported to be so small even by people who are die-hard believers in the theory that it would be hard to prove one way or the other. All I can really say is that my average results seemed to improve slightly after I started using directional synthing, and that's good enough for me.

My take is that it is not hard to face a certain direction, so why not do it? At worst, you change nothing; at best, it helps you out. Now where it really gets complicated is when you start getting into different directions faced for Skill-up or HQ.

Yeah, I always face my direction except occasionally on the first synth because I get too eager when doing a big batch.

i been crafting for 3 years now. i see no difference in what direction you face. people who swear by the crafting compass, its just in your heads. only thing that matters is your crafting level and luck

How many pages back did you have to go to Necro this?
