SC Crafting Tips - Phoenix Freeshard

Gem qual doesn't matter

If SC fails, just have player pass item into trade again, sometimes fails a lot, most I've had is like 8 in a row, nothing explodes ---after EDIT 1000 skill!

Once you buy all the mats for your SC order, move them all to the back of the bags as you can, and craft in order so they are all lined up, your first page has the first 8 gems for the first 2 pieces of gear, etc. On larger orders you can imbue the first 3-5 pieces to open up more room you'll need on 7-9 piece orders

I will add more as they come to mind

If you bought all the mats for your report, and you are halfway through and you see that you need materials, you likely crafted the wrong gem and need to go back and verify, you probably got a watery shielding instead of watery essence, etc

What was your crafting skill when this happened?

It was always 800+ skill for 5.5 pt overcharge from my memory, and the only people who have exploded have told me they did but when they were sub 800 skill. I never have and I never SC'd OC before 800, and have done about 30 orders with 6+ pieces of gear all mostly 5.5 OC, so...

Fine you don't mind the risk, but it is there none the less.
I've lost 2 items to blowing up, untill I decided to take SC to 1000, after that none.
And I've SC'd a LOT (many albs know Trueberry

)

My SC tip of the day:

Step 1:
- Look at SC report, check for numbers that can't be right, or double stats on one item (some use strange SC programs).
- Look for staff without Focus gems for caster class.
- If it says 37,5 on 99% items, make sure they have the MP items.
- Report back for them to fix it.

Step 2:
- Use 4 qbars to fill up gems, sorting them in 4's (each set representing an item).
- Macro "/macro 1 /craftque buy 1" at the end of each of the 4 qbar.
- Go to mat merchant, click each gem and the "1" in the end, there is a short delay so make sure you get all mats.

Step 3:
- Get items from customer, don't let them hand it to you, will take forever with failures if you have to trade every damned time. If you lack room, start with 4 items.
- Craft first 4 gems, and make room in the first sack so you have them grouped.
- Imbue the gems and look at craft report, make sure all stats now match the report. Make double sure to distinguish between skill and resist (example thrust skill and thrust resist), can often help to make sure the imbue (37/32) matches that in report.
- While you are failing, make room for next 4 gems in first sack and start crafting.

I can do a full 8 item SC in less than 30 mins this way, IF customer is not a slacker who made errors in SC report, or who don't come and give you items quick.
