I've heard that facing a certain direction (N,S,E,W) will have some kind of factor in Synthesis. Is there any truth to this? If so, why don't any guides ever say it?!
Thanks for your input,

I actually read each clothcraft guide on this sight and nearly every other one I could find. Unfortunately, I can't see that any guide creator actually offers that information. Fortunately, after reading a many pages of random posts under a guide, I did see that someone said South/Southwest... Does this sound about right?

according to that, SW would result in high success for wind and low success/high hq for earth

You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be misqouted and then used against you. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | The following user says "Thank You" to Vyuru for above post: | | | 09-27-2007, 11:30 AM | #10 (permalink) | | Vault Dweller Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: FL Posts: 470 Style: Dark - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 77 Thanked 76x in 46 Posts Gil: 508 Bank: 15,579 Total Gil: 16,087 Donate | Re: Facing a direction?
