Stuck. (I hate you, Maat.)

Maat: 4
Itazura: 0

This has been rather depressing. Suffice to say that overall, I seem to be doing worse with every attempt.

Now, even the Red Mage Testimony doesn't want to drop anymore. Meh.

On a brighter note, some recent accomplishments:
  • Paladin Lv.64
  • Completed the Wizard's set
  • Helped out with CoP 4.3 run
  • Jelly Ring
The Jelly Ring is especially nice to have, coming one night after the Maat disaster. What made it special, though, is that I couldn've have done it with help and patience from friends. Mosh, Cyrilis, and Lpsojiro, and Valenia deserves all the credit for that ring.

Crafting! Don't think this would ever go very high, but at least there's progress to report.

Bonecraft: Lv.10.0 -> Lv.12.6
Goldsmithing: Lv.10.0 -> Lv.13.2

Synthesis: Cornette (Lv.14 Bonecraft; Lv.14 Goldsmithing)
Wind Crystal, Brass Ingot, Bone Chip

Consumed:
Wind Crystal x46
Brass Ingot x32
Bone Chip x31

Result: Cornet x22 (Yes, lot's of breaks.)

Gross Expense: 16,100 Gil
Expected Recoup: 19,800 Gil

This is not a profit synth, though; the gross expense figure didn't include some 20 Brass Ingot from my stores. At 11,700 a stack, that's nearly another 20k Gil expenditure, making it roughly a 16k loss. Toss in the extra Bone Chips and Wind Crystals, it's about 19k or so.

Yet, it doesn't seem that bad; 19k Gil for 2.6 level of Bonecraft and 3.2 level of Goldsmithing at the same time isn't entirely horrible for someone so rusty at crafting. Plus, it got rid of a lot of synth material I've been saving.

Will have to find better synths, though, if I want to continue with it. Should really aim to break even, at least.

I miss leveling BLM...
