got to level 2 on bronze ingots then jumped straight to the bronze scales synth using these sheets.
I sold the ingots and bought the sheets from the guild, much less wasted gil this way since the bronze ingot to bronze sheet synth is a major loss.
Get synth support from lvl 2 to lvl 7 and then continu til you cap at lvl 10.
