-Synthesis
In the previous version update, a special cooking ability was added to the key items available for purchase with guild points. Several new special synthesis skills such as this one are scheduled to make their debut in the February version update, along with all-new synthesis recipes.

Let's take a look at some of the new key items and synthesis goods.

Re: Synthesis Changes

Wonder why they didn't change the stack number for ninja tools as well . . . . .

Didn't they allow items to be bundled up together already?

Like you wanna pay 3 million for a 12 stack of bundled 99 stack of shihei.

Re: Synthesis Changes

Its says that the Supplies to make them will be stackable.

Chocobo Fletching 99

Stone Arrowheads 99

etc

That would be a Whole lot of arrows if the amount or Arrowwood carryable increased as well, but as is it does safe on inventory space for crafters

Re: Synthesis Changes

Hmmm, maybe I read it wrong.

What I thought it said was 12 stacks of 99 would now be 99 stacks of 99

So I was thinking 12 stacks of 99 shihei, would now be 99 stacks of 99 shihei.

Re: Synthesis Changes

Items used to make the arrow and bolt heads will now stack to 99 instead of just 12. I read this to be HOLY SHIT, 12 demon arrowheads are 200k, 99 demon arrowheads 2m. Hope those new crafts to make them make it cost the same. Ofcourse knowing Fairy crafters, I doubt it will.

EDIT: Just noticed, they only show that choco and yag fletchings are going to 99. But not insect (for scorps), blk. choco (for bodkin and demon), or giant bird (for kabura). Hope those are part of the deal, or this is a somewhat rather worthless change for later lvl crafters and rangers.
If it is just their oversight and they are being changed as well, it could be the answer for rangers who've been asking for years to make scorps and other higher lvl arrows quiverable.

Re: Synthesis Changes

Personally I'm not sure how to feel about this yet. As a bone crafter I level on arrowheads a fair bit, they're already a loss maker, if I got to make 99 instead of 12 now this could make things alot harder.

At the moment I'm on Horn Arrowheads, 9k for a horn to get 6 arrowheads, a stack of 12 sells for 6-8k last time I sold some. I don't know if its woodworkers making a mint off us or rangers getting cheap arrows but bone crafters are sure getting shafted.

I just hope the new increased output synths work out cheaper.

Re: Synthesis Changes

Back when I was levelling boneworking on my server, horn arrowheads (among other arrowheads) were pretty high considering what I could yield and sell for. Maybe boneworkers were losing money, but I was as well.

Re: Synthesis Changes

rofl 99 beetle arrowheads, it costs like 40-60k on ragnarok to get a stack of beetle jaws, and even fecking bone chip stacks are like 10k ... and for the killer !!! a stack of beetle arrowheads is 2,000....... hmm whats the loss on that? too much for me to count. Of coruse thats being lazy and not farming bone chips or beetle jaws, not to mention the guild is always camped.

Maybe 99beetle arrowheads will go for some astronomical number, so that us bonecrafters can break even........

just my thoughts!

[Karinya]

Re: Synthesis Changes

Or maybe it will only take twice as much raw material to make 33 as it does to make 12 now. (Probably you won't synth a whole 99 at once except as an HQ, same as finished arrows or ninja tools.) They're not just changing the stack number, but changing the recipes too...

I expect the net result will be more arrows per beetle jaw or other raw material. That may or may not result in more profit/less loss for crafters.

What's really interesting is that even with COR right around the corner, there appears to be no change in bullets... maybe that will come in April and they are testing the waters with the arrow changes now.

Re: Synthesis Changes

I've been able to break even on most arrows, and even make a little bit on ds bolts so far as a WW'ing ranger. Now, demons and bodkins I'm about to get bent over. I'm hoping the new recipes use a slightly increased number to make a much higher percentage of arrowheads and fletchings. And that they call for items that have a pretty static cost due to other recipes they're used in. I'd hate for it to suddenly become much cheaper to make arrows, just so the people who sell the items for the new recipes to just jack prices astronomically. It all remains to be seen I suppose.

Re: Synthesis Changes

Does anyone have any idea why SE won't make Juices stackable?

It would make things really convienient, instead of having a cramped inventory space, trying to fit in all my exp gear and juice.
