i have the entire alchemy recipe printed out. seen this. thought itd be easy. i farmed the sheep skin and crafted them into leather. much cheeper then buying them for 20k a stack. got everything else. 5 stacks of each, ready to go. ice day to match my crystal. 7 level difference, figured id be safe. get the advanced support and go.
break... break... break... break... break (wtf 7 lvls should not be this hard) ... leathercraft +.2
my leather is only at 2 because of the sheep skin > leather synthing i was doing. this cought me off guard... and now.. im a little pissed, cause this is gunna suck.
i believe the leather cap is 9. I started making these to skill up on both Alchemy and Leather and because the profit margin is better than just selling stacks of sheep leather. I was getting skill ups in Leather until I hit 9. Since then I haven't had any Leather skill ups on the 20 or so Brilliant Snows I've made. It could just be a run of bad luck.
