Talk:Goldsmithing Guide by Gatsby

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

This guide isn't that well written.--MadM3rlin 21:18, 24 June 2007 (CDT)


I'd have to disagree with you. Of all the goldsmithing guides here, this is the best one. Although some of the synth caps aren't accurate, at least there is a link to each synth so you can check for yourself. --Volition 21:25, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Pictures are a nice touch. --Gahoo 17:53, 7 August 2006 (EDT)

Well done, bravo~! I plan to level goldsmithing after I get a few more levels on my WW toon, and this shall be an excellent resource. --Aurikasura 18:30, 7 August 2006 (EDT)

Copper Ingot

Note that the 4x Copper Ore recipe for Copper Ingots only takes you to skill level 3, not to 4 as the guide states. (I synthed a whole stack of ingots after hitting skill level 3 before I got suspicious and checked. XD) --Rurokuro 16:32, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

47: Gold Dust instead of Mythril Rings

I STRONGLY recommend crafting and NPC'ing Gold Dust instead synthing and desynthing Mythril Rings.

  • Each synth yields a stack of 12 Gold Dust.
  • 1 unit of Gold Dust sells to NPCs for 60 gil, or 720/stack.
  • So, 12 synths (assuming no breaks) yields 12 stacks, worth 8640 gil.
  • Compare the price for one stack each of copper and brass ingots (or make your own copper ingots, very cheap using guild-supplied ore) against the price of two stacks of mythril ingots.
  • On Kujata server in December 2008, skilling up on Mythril Rings is at least 10 times the expense of skilling on Gold Dust.
  • You could conceivably craft Vellum with all that Gold Dust, but I think you'd glut the Vellum market for months lol.
