Crafting and character Resistance
Ok, so we all know the hypothesis of new moon + direction = HQ items but what about your charaters resistance build i was wondering if anyone has tested this out and if so would u want + resistance to the element corrisponding to your crystal or - resistance and to top it off what about the opposite of your crystal would u want + or - for that? like example: dark crystal + or - light resistance or + or - dark resistance.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much thinking into crafting... srsly...
SE would not make crafting that difficult... As a matter of fact... No MMO. If you click the OK button to craft when you are in a Waxing Crescent moon, facing NE during lightsday and the vanadiel minute is a double digit (11, 22, etc) you produce more HQ!
I know because I went 1/1 on HQ Selbina Butter using this method.

I know because I went 1/1 on HQ Selbina Butter using this method. L O L Personally, I've never noticed a difference no matter when I craft or what direction I face. I'm a higher level cook and often HQ honey to sell for quick gil... From what I've tracked (HQ/NQ/breaks/total synths/etc) I really only HQ maybe 1-3% more often...
You keep making faces it's going to get stuck! Perform a /smile Emote and you'll break less often! Don't cross a black cat it's bad luck! Equip a Fire staff and harvest those saplings for fire ores! Don't carry umbrellas on sunny days its bad luck! Those are silly and absurd... but play into the same direction, day, time, weather, resistance, staff elem, zone thing for crafting If I said I could make Gold ingots from Iron Ore I wonder how many replies or PM's I'd get. Really, in my experience luck is merely random and coincidental at that. if you drank tea every day and got a bonus at work would you then associate tea as good luck in the work place? I'd just say you have good work ethic and like to be healthy... OP needs more full stops, I nearly suffocated reading that post.
Lmao. Very true Wooooodum. Please read the OP before posting. On that note, interesting idea, but I think that we really are putting too much thought into crafting. SE is lazy.
agreed.
I think it was a couple months ago that one of the Mod's posted on how difficult it would be for the Dev team to make crafting even 1/3 as detailed as people think it is.
Now in the rare case this was added in, can you imagine what a bomb queen ring would do to fire crystals?

I'm willing to bet that they could have unintentionally coded this in without ever realizing it. honestly i was thinking about this the other day... normally i dont bother about it but was crafting dusk and saw as i switched my gear that i was like -21 dark... so i took gear off just as precaution because i also notcied that on my leathercraft apron and gloves i have + dark and + lighting.... so i think resistance does effect somehow but i dont know how...

Not so much. If you want to know the true secret to crafting.... if you want say a lvl 90 synth to HQ just wait for the guild point item of the day to be a lvl 90 craft or around and do the craft at about 8:30 and helps alot to be on same day as ele crystal.

Not so much. Not even close. the direction you face does have a considerable effect on HQ, no breaks, and skill ups for anyone that has actually read up on it... the days i haven't really noticed a big difference, and i'm certainly not going to wait for the moon phase to craft. so the only logical thing for me to do is face a certain direction. for anyone interested, this is the guide:
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Days_and_Directions_of_Synthing before anyone says that the direction doesn't make a difference, i challenge everyone to go skill up a craft and face one way, do a few synths and then face the way that benifits skill ups and see how much more it procs... I have, and it doesn't. Now I'm gonna get flamed with people saying "Oh your highest craft is 15" That's for a very personal reason, and in those 15 levels I tried that crafting direction thing and often times found a random direction to have the best luck.

Eyeball testing doesn't constitute factual evidence. As Frobeus suggested above in his fix, you'd have to synth thousands of synths on the same day, same moon phase and same direction to see a trend. Then repeat this test under the exact same conditions facing a different direction. Meh i have no scientific test just noticed that day and direction do matter. I've never HQ'd divine lumber unless it was a certain day and direction i was facing.
I get more HQ on iceday using wind crystal. I tended not to fail as often when i synthed on a day that was weak to crystal i was using. I tend to follow the day/crystal/direction method when trying to HQ and skill up. Not to convinced about moon phase yet but meh sticking to certain days works for me. 100 woodworking/all subs 60 Tubal said: 100 woodworking/all subs 60 You need to get cooking and fishing 60 still! =O Fishing now. Don't forsee cooking going beyond lvl 1. But then again they are not subs^^
