Facing a direction?
Hello Crafters!

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,

Evion

Re: Facing a direction?
people have sworn up and down that it helps. others have sworn up and down that it has no effect. no one really knows for sure, however, may as well do it for superstition sake eh?

Re: Facing a direction?
Sure! I'd still face in the direction of the clothcrafting gods... BTW, does anyone know what direction that MIGHT be?

I'm sure if you looked you'd find someone did.

Re: Facing a direction?
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?

Re: Facing a direction?
the direction depends on the crystal being used typically

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

Re: Facing a direction?
Or use:



A crafting compass probably WOULD have been a good idea for my guide, good thing I have that second page to edit with





You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be misqouted and then used against you.

Re: Facing a direction?
My opinion on it is this: I have never seen it proven, but how can it hurt to just go ahead and do it?
