Show Us Your Augments!

Quality Guide (seriously):
Platinum Nugget (4x platinum leaf, 2x vitriol)
Fail over and over (and over and over and over) until you hit synergy 70.

1- Claim furnace, trade materials, start synergy
2- Spam add whatever fewell you like.
3- Thwack when it's about to explode (free skill up opportunity without expending fewell)
4- Fail synth, take materials out
5- Rinse and repeat.

Never end the synergy, you don't want to make the nugget, you just want to fail over and over. If you want to save money, buy on AH (or craft) your own fewell instead of buying from NPC -- NPC is way overpriced. Don't lower pressure or pull safety lever, it's just a waste of fewell while leveling. If you want to save a little bit of time, sub WHM so you can clear status effects after an explosion. They only last 10 seconds anyway, but you can't interact with the furnace with any debuff on you.

Every five levels, you can use the synergy NPCs to level up a particular skill. In my opinion, the most useful ones while doing a real synth (not a fail-synth) are fewell feeding (increase likelihood of large element increase or perfect alignment to target), safety lever (decrease impurity more per pull), and pressure handle (decrease pressure more per pull).

It's very (very very very) random, but you should be getting something like 2-5 skill levels per hour (more if you're very lucky, less if you aren't). You should be using something like 750 fewell per hour. It will take A LOT of fewell (and time) to get to 70, but that's the only expense.

Some people say that you get a better skill up rate by starting with something closer to your level, but I call BS on that -- I started with Gold Nugget and went all the way to 60 on that (when the cap was originally 60, gold nugget took you all the way there), and my skill up rate was on par with everyone else's. If you want to get 80, you'll need to find some recipe in there that you can do, as all of the skill-up recipes post-70 require some high level craft. As far as I know the only ones that can get you all the way to 80 are the veteran crafting stalls and the new pieces of equipment with Voidwatch materials.

the power lvling guide on the wiki doesnt really bring much anymore. SE seem to have nerfed the skillups even with all moogle powers active i get a skillup every 3 tried it seems.

i don't really think there are some very good synergy guides out there. if there are could please someone post a link?

edit: @Slycer: i tried that and as i said not a skillup that often. it's very random it seems.

Sexy o.o

Bar BRD that actually is a decent piece for the jobs on it.

holy crap!

Does it have to be one of the elements the synth is associated with or can you literally use any fewell?

got my wife Genbu Shield with hp +22 cure pot+5% cure casting time -5%

If you spam earth fewell and have haste the slow effect will not overwrite your haste. Earth is one of the elements for that synth. I leveled synergy back when it first came out took roughly 1-2hrs for every 10 levels. Always found the closer I got to the cap more skillups I received. Can get skillups from thwacking though it may sometimes feel like a waste of time/effort when it still blows up.

You can get skill-ups off of any fewell. I typically used one associated with the synth because I figured that would do the most, but I've seen skill ups off anything. I've also seen plenty of skill ups when the elemental value was already "capped" at 99 and I continued to add the same one.

Skill-ups are incredibly random. Like I said above, you might wind up with less than 2 skill levels after hours and 1000+ fewell spams, and then you might get three 0.2s in a row and get 5 skill levels in 30 minutes.

And yeah, holy crap @ MAB+9 pants @_@

OMG

kirin pole +25 dmg +4 str

What augments are possible on those; Was questioning buying -1's if I can get something better than byakko's :O

Einherjar got interesting

130Pz return:

Those are awesome!
Good job.

Man, SMN can get some insane cure potency+ now, up to 42% if my memory serves me correctly, with those feet.

SMN is already at over 50% actually.

Surya staff (+22), Selenian cap (+3), Fylgja torque +1 (+3), Facio Bliaut (+14), Serpentes set (+5), Tatsumaki Sitagoromo (+5) = 52% meaning you can settle for a NQ Fylgja and a 13% Facio.

I forgot about the add-on pieces, good catch there.

i saw a bunch of genbu shields, anyone do kabuto yet? was wondering if you can get more vit added to it

pulled out my old armada gear just to see what would happen.


head had magic acc+3/dark magic+5/resist poison+1

That is downright amazing.

Someone should augment these:



Knowing SE's sick sense of humor they will probably end up with like 10% haste or something of ultimate caliber.

+Resist Virus!

+ Resist LoL!

I have full +1 shuts set, will screw around with it I guess. Anyone get g.kabuto vit+ yet?
