I know it says lvl 3 goldsmithing, but I tried to skill up bonecraft and goldsmithing on this at level 10 bone, level 0 GS.....I failed WHOLE STACK, without a single GS skill up, either the level on GS is wrong, or I am very unlucky....
I just made 2 stacks of theses and got from 8 to 10 bone and 0-3 gold, i got lvl3 gold about halfway through second stack and got no skillups after that, so id say that this cap is correct.
I tried desynthing these w/ lightning crystals at 9 bonecraft and 2 goldsmith. I made some of them, and they sold for less than the brass ingots on my old server.
3 earrings, 6 tries.
First synth: brass ingot (HQ?) 2nd synth: fail 3rd synth: bone chip 4th / 5th: fail 6th synth: lost earring
