if anyone is interested... for every two spider webs you give me <18k> i'll synth it into a rainbow thread for you <22k>. The reason is being, i need to craft 100,649,876,321 webs into rainbow thread for 0.1 skill up. =P
if i was to fail the synth, i will pay you for the web that i broke.
so.. what do you guys say? ^^v

I am a farming fiend and now I have a reason to farm, I'll send any I get to you Marzi =)
JBob =DDDD how ya doin? ^^v
i think its a good offer. Guys really have nothing to lose. ^^

I say good luck cause I'm almost at spidy web levels too... one of my recipes already used it... but then again, that was my Lilac Corsage.. and yes, I made the twinthread myself. Both synth's were very nerve wrecking and terrifying... mainly the twinthread synth as I was still 3 levels under cap at the time. When I did the Lilac Corsage, I was lvl 54 and it was a new moon... so I wasn't as worried. However, since it was with a terra crystal, it added a little apprehension there.
G/L on cloth... I'm currently at 56, any tips? I've currently been doing Green Ribbons, but I loose about 4-5k each time I synth. I can do white cloaks and white capes... but that's even more loss, so I usually only do those at request of friends seeking a signed item. Lately I've been trying to make gil from HQ's and it's working... but I'm still getting more regular synth's than I'd like and as we know, most regular synth'd items are often cheaper than their main ingredient because people have a high supply of them from trying for HQ's. A Mercenary Gi actually costs more on the AH than the Windurstian Gi sells for... so I don't really like messing with that synth till I KNOW I can yield a HQ with rather good success.
I'm about 1/6 on Windurstian Gi HQ's (Federation Gi)
I'm about 4/9 on Windurstian Hachimaki HQ's (Federation Hachimaki)
I'm about 9/25 on San d'Orian Tunic HQ's (Kingdom Tunic)
I'm 0/1 on Windurstian Slops HQ (Federation Slops) (I think this might be higher than lvl 30 cap?)
I'm 0/5 on Combat Caster +1 HQ's (Combat Caster +2) (0/4 on Cloaks and 0/1 on slacks)
soooo, any tips? (Also, see you around windurst ^^)

lol.. I wish I had some tips on how to regain capital. Truth be told, with the inflation of price on materials, I am just losing money atm. HQ in the mercenary sets as you already know, might be a good way to regain some money. But unfortunitly (and you would find this alot with any craft) You are skilling up on junk that nobody would buy. lol
I honestly don't go about crafting the right way. When I earn a chunk of money from a BCNM or NM drops, I take my cut and throw it right into clothcrafting. I do it w/o even looking or caring... just diving in head first. lol
With the rainbow threads, you might wonder why i don't resale the threads and skill up and make profit.. Well webs i buy and make into threads, i'm keeping. I will be needing them for rainbow cloth to skill up with. ; ;

I'll take all your reject webs if you don't want any Marz. =o
I'm 73 and ack.. these spider webs are a pain so I know how you feel, then you have to go through 2 lvls of making them into cloth which 60k+ per synth... not looking forward to it at all. Getting 0.1 per skill up every 3-4 cloths is no fun, for once i'd just like to see that 0.2 again, it's been too long >.<
And heya Nebz, congrats on that Combat Casters Cloak +2! Only thing is, they hardly ever sell >.<
As for advice, all I can say is farm farm farm... there isn't really any substitute for those levels unless you have goldsmithing leveled, and even then I'm not sure what the loss/profit is like. However what i've found is that it's best to farm your normal mobs and buy the silk with that money, instead of farming silk itself and synthing it. Sometimes with TH2 + Millionaires Desk I would get 1 stack of silk thread per hour, while other times i would only get 2 or 3... very unreliable.
Another thing Marzi, you should try contacting some BST's going through there 60-70 stage for when they exp off spiders in Kuftal and Boyada Tree. Maybe work out a deal with them?
Yay for clothcraft addicts!

Thats a very good idea.
/poke Marzi
I'm skilling up GSD and getting these rather regularly. :-b
I'll look you up. Now not only do I skill up AND make money, I get to help a HL. :-D. You don't have to repay breaks on mine. The offer to help on BCNM60 far surpasses any help I could provide.

<3 ^^v
LoL. I know the woes well.
BTW, I'm 2/3 done with my requirements for BCNM 60 /cheer
I hit 60 and capped my H2H (204 I believe) and have Howling Fist. So fun. I think I have 28 seals now so I will be farming soon. If you all really want to do this I will be happy to plan a day for it if everyone wants to make 6 runs for potential gil if everyone wants to use an orb.
All I want is my specs and everything else will be for the other 5 (obviously). Who knows, maybe get 6 spec drops. O.o You'd all be pretty well set then. LoL 4.5mil to all! :-D (I can dream LoL)

Any day is fine except for Tuesdays... Much like you, I spend alot of time catching people up on quests and such. Always something going on. So lets pre-plan a day and time so I make sure I'll be available. Zicrod and Hobbes (pld and whm) will down to participate as well. They cant contribute toward an orb however. Neither of them has the seals.
Let me know when you are set to do this. ^^

Sweet thanks! No I don't mind if nobody else brings an orb. Yes it increases my chances of getting my specs, but it also is more coming out from the help (unless we get killer drops. LoL). If say we only have my orb, and don't get the drop, I'll just go back to farming and try to reassemble another pt at another date.
Thanks again, Marzi. I'll let you know when I get the seals. It could very well be a couple weeks because we have hit close to 60 members now and I'm staying very busy trying to get people caught up. LoL. I'm just glad I got my 60 out of the way. :-b
