thistlechaserEdit: Is Bleach still in filler eps? I discovered that it's on Youtube, so I can catch up at work... then I discovered that the reason I stopped watching was because it went to filler.
Hit 49 last night, and would like to get to 60 as painlessly as possible, then never touch smithing again!
Potential skill items:
Broadsword: 51 (Fire) Lizard Skin, Mythril Ingot x2
This item temps me, because the only thing I have left to skill after smithing is goldsmithing, and I'll be making mythril ingots then. Could pause smithing until I get to that point, then skill both at the same time... But I guess I'm too impatient to wait.
Gorget: caps at 53, (Fire) Iron Sheet, Sheep Leather
Iron sheets sell for 4Kish at the guild, if you catch them at the right time. However, I do have a couple of stacks left. Sheep leather can be farmed or camped at the leathercrafting guild for pretty cheap. Might make these until I use up my sheets. ffxiah.com shows that they sell a few per day for 9-10K. (Edit: Guess I won't do this, since I can use the iron sheets later.)
Steel Ingot: 54 (Fire) Bomb Ash x4, Iron Sand x4
Ash and sand sell from a vendor for ~500, so about 4K per synth. They sell for 5-6K in Jeuno, plus they stack, so this looks like the better option.
Armored Arrowheads: 55 (needs bonecraft 58, which I have). (Wind) Steel Ingot, Taurus Horn. Draque, this might work for you to skill both smithing and bone? Taurus Horn sell for about 2K per ffxiah, but don't sell too too often (couple a day). I can't find a listing for armored arrowheads on ffxiah, so not sure how those sell.
Sallet: 55 Fire, Iron Sheet x2, Copper Ingot, Sheep Leather (Sells very very slowly, for about 10K. Would need to vendor or desynth.)
Gauntlets: 57 Fire, Iron Sheet x2, Leather Gloves x2 (Sells even slower, 5-10K, vendor/desynth.)
Kyofu: 58 Earth, Tin Ingot, Iron Sheet, Shinobi-gatana (can buy from vendor for 2728-3125) -- just like gust claymore! Maybe skillups will be as good? Sells slowly, so desynth or vendor.
Darksteel Bolt Heads: 62 Wind, Darksteel Ingot (Blech, unless I can get my own darksteel and make my own ingots, which I'll be able to at this point. Still: Blech.)
Hm, there are a couple other 62-63 synths that might work, but they all use two or three darksteel ingots. Why risk more than one when you can risk one on the boltheads?
So it looks like I'm going to do:
Steel Ingot to 54
Kyofu to 58
Darksteel Bolt Heads to 60
Can't wait to start goldsmithing! Though I can hardly imagine what it'll be like to be totally done skilling all crafts, forever. I wish they'd introduce new ones, like they do jobs.
