Main Craft: Goldsmithing - (91)


This is a surprisingly cheap synth for its level, and can reach T1 for the occasional HQ while skilling up. It may be simpler to just craft kit 90 if enough are available, but given how shitty the set 90 synth is, there probably won't be any in stock.

Ore should be readily available, and this sells decently well as both singles and stacks. The singles are used for RUN AF, and the ingots can also be crafted into Rhodium Rings, which are used to make the avatar rings via synergy.

It's worth checking if these are available from Payutete. You'll lose about 18k per synth vendoring the rings, but it's quick and easy. Set 94 is less popular than set 85, so these may or may not be available on your server.

Escutcheon Stage 1

See Escutcheons for an explanation of the process.

For Stage 1, there is no preferred order of operations, since the shield does not yet provide any benefit. However, you may wish to prioritize reaching 100% craftsmanship to eliminate the success rate penalty in case you forget to unequip the shield when synthing for other purposes.

Once you acquire the shield, you can immediately begin working on craftsmanship, but you'll need to trade the shield to the Reinberta in order to unlock the turn-ins for Crafter Points.

Craftsmanship

Just spam a low level synth such as Copper Ingot. You can do a higher level synth if it is profitable, but ideally it should be HQ T3. (Also remember that you will be starting at -30% success rate.)

The craftsmanship rewards will quickly drop to zero for NQ results when spamming a synth, but you can still make respectable progress via HQs and bonus objectives.

Do this on Firesday if you can because this seems to be the only day that can appear as a bonus objective for the smithing shield.

Obtaining Craftsman's Crystal: Goldsmithing will lower your craftsmanship to 67%, so don't do so until you've accumulated sufficient Crafter Points.

Crafter Points

Escutcheon Stage 2

Avoid increasing craftsmanship (as much as possible) until you have completed the rest of this stage, as the success rate penalty starts and 0% and increases with craftsmanship.
