I m 28 smithing, i tried to synth this cap but when i do light crystal + rusty cap, it said synth cancelled, that combination of materials cannot be synth.... do u know why plz?
Should help... they took the synth out of the game in the Feb 2007 update but they're putting the synth back in during the march update... just now it won't make the same thing
(P.S. Je vois que t'es un francophone... donc je peut te traduire mon commentaire si tu ne comprends pas.)
I think there is a desynth for the padded but i havent test it yet, i am a little angry for the price so i dont synth those anymore, i am just trying now to lvl my smith with the 2nd recipe Earth + 2 Lizard skin + Iron Sheet
Next time i synth a padded i'll try to desynth it with Lighting + Padded cap and see if this can be done, i'll tell you
According to the new upgrades today (sept. 13th), the synth and price of the padded cap is supposed to be modified... is anyone aware of that changes, the real effects? I am currently lvl33 blacksmith and was used to sold my padded cap for 2600 gil at the weapon shop and 2900 gil at the blacksmith guild... would that change to a lower price? (for somehow prevent bulk smithing lvling from 26 to 34 ... while making easy money??)
If you guys figure it out :) if would be nice to post it down here!!! :) thx...
Once the maintenance period is finish I'll go try it out and let you guys know... ;) lets hope they increases the sell prices :) ... to have even more easy money.
PS: I also noted that they modified the rusty cap fishing rate.. but didn't tell if increased or lowered :(... I am not fishing them anyway but it might impact the cost of them at AH..
ya they have been nerfed, on seraph they sell for 800-900 gil to normal vendors. Guess they decided that to many people started making to much money that way....
ya, i read about this too, i just got my smithing to 35 last week and had just started making good money off this without breaks, hopefully we could still make some quick money although it won't be the fortune i was hoping to obtain, really bad timeing, lol
I started synthing these at lvl 25. I got a lot of breaks but when i would make one i would get .3 skill up. Worth trying and a fast way to lvl smithing.
From all the guides i've read about rusty caps, it is smithing skill that is needed to make padded caps using a rusty cap and light crystal, not leathercraft.
