I figure its better to be safe than risk more breaks/less skills.

As I find out about proven myths, yay! Less gear to lug around etc!

With staffs, I notice more so that I get more skill ups, over less breaks. Like 0.1's and 0.2's 8/10 synths with staff versus 0.1's every 5-10 synths without. I dunno if thats just some wierd luck thing, or if the staff actually has an effect. Particularly if I use staff that matches the crystal I'm using (Water Crystal + Water Staff, etc).

I guess since Elemental Staves effect Magic ACC/charm rate, etc, is why people even began to think staves effect crafting. With some of what SE even comes up with, I wouldn't really be surprised.
