exp10 tailoring kit and blacksmithing hammer?

• imagine95 wrote on 2014-07-29 17:50
  Hey guys, I am planning on doing a big and expensive life skill and I am deciding between tailoring and blacksmithing. My only concern now is an exp10 crafting tool. Since gacha doesn't give out r1 production tools, I have to either buy it from someone or reforge it myself. Two small questions I have here.
  1. How much nx would it cost to reforge a 3line r3 production tool into an exp10 one
  2. Would it be cheaper to just use an exp2 tool and buy the mats?
  
  Thanks!

  1. Exp reforge is common on life tools. Lvl 10 is another story.
  2. You can use synth for blacksmithing and leather is always being sold in the market, but finest fabric is rare rare rare and only sold in the market during certain events.
  
  bonus 3. wiki page says exp reforge goes to lvl 15.

  Thanks for the quick reply :D
  Filling in some missing information. I have r1 weaving, refining, metallurgy and ingredient hunting for mats.
  Yes I have r1 synthesis for ingots. Hmm does this make blacksmithing cheaper than tailoring for me?

  Blacksmithing and Tailoring both cost 0 gold when you have these...

  1. On Mari sever, they go for 10-15m. Don't make it yourself. It will only end in disappointment.
  2. With the Bazaar event (which happens every real life spring), it would be cheaper for tailoring but not smithing.
  
  I don't want to discourage you from doing blacksmithing or tailoring. But I highly suggest you wait until the Bazaar event next year to attempt them, or just take Code2008's advice and go with seals.
  
  Here are some stats from my experience training the skills WITH the Bazaar event.
  
  Tailoring
  -about 2m spent buying mats from Bazaar, cheap fabric for headbands, and various strings
  -Used a level 2 kit
  -If you don't use Bazaar where fabrics were 500g each, you will pay around 20 times more (40m). Not to mention these mats are almost impossible to find in large quantities when the event is not running.
  
  Blacksmithing
  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwnDbDLMIBTUVGxDcklVYU5qMVE/edit?usp=sharing
  -This is the guide I made to help myself with smithing using a level 10 exp hammer and x2 training. Don't use it because it's outdated and there were several mistakes in it anyway. The point of showing you this is to show you that you will be paying around 4m for manuals and 5m for holy water and arats (for ingot duping) EVEN WITH a level 10 hammer.
  -I spent about 1m on Bazaar mats. You will be paying roughly 65x more without the Bazaar.
  
  tl;dr
  -Buy a pre-reforged hammer; don't make it yourself.
  -Wait until the Bazaar to do these skills. Tailoring can be done with a level 2 kit for around 2m. Smithing can only be REALISTICALLY done with a level 10 hammer for around 10m.
  -Synthesis is the only other skill that can help you. The others mean absolutely nothing unless you want to spend 1 hour to churn out 1 finest fabric.
