This was guild item today on Gilgamesh. Chain gorget 1020, fine gorget 1320. At lvl 53+1 I was able to get one HQ of three chains and one Fine gorget out of four gorgets traded in.
Right now I am a level 33 Goldsmith. I am thinking of making this to level my synthing skill, but I wonder if its worth the trouble. Silver Chain sells for 4k a piece on AH in the Asura server right now, and it costs me at least 3k to make one, so thats 9k each without counting the cost of the crystals. Can anyone help me here?
That's 6 ingots to make one chain, plus 4 earth crystals. On Siren, that's 18K for one of these babies, and IF you're lucky, you can sell them for 1/3rd of that at the jeuno AH, or over the course of 2-3 weeks by bazaaring them outside the goldsmithing guild in bastok.
The good news is they desynth fairly well if you choose the right conditions (darksday, good moon, with support).
I synthed chain to gorgets to skill up gsmithing, then wound up burning down the whole lot with a stack of lightning crystals an reclaiming the materials for future skillup sessions. It's a real fast way to tear through cash, but it's relatively inexpensive as far as goldsmithing skillup goes.
Rate up for the good info. I had made about 7 of these trying to figure out what to do with all of my silver chains.
2 weeks later I still have six of them. Only one has sold in the AH's I have placed them on. Now I can hope to at least get back part of my investment.
