I made a super quick addon for Ashita that tracks spirit. Doesn't do anything super fancy, basically just reads the chat message and keeps a running total. It displays it on screen, and remembers the running total between loads. Only commands are for toggling visibility, and resetting the total. Shouldn't really have to mess with any of the config at the top, but if you do want to change the font family etc, you can.
I don't use Windower, but this wouldn't take someone long to convert it. It's very basic, and very well commented.

The worst part, is only people on the shield stage are able to make them. (besides getting lucky and getting one from the goblin box)
Yeah. And, not many people that are on the last stage are going to farm these and put them up on the AH.
why not? I look forward to financing my white box abjurations on the backs of the people that make them so expensive.

You need to be on final stage with 100% crsftmanship to be able to farm them
So, people are paying 1m for darkness spheres.
I lawled pretty damn hard.

People are trying to do that on Leviathan. Selling to themselves for 1m.
so was wondering since these spheres are for every craft, does the skill + gear even help get HQ spheres when crafting? have had horrible luck getting HQ.
Behaves a lot like desynth. Have used moglification: Desynth and noticed a slightly better success rate. That + Kitron or Rusk should help out.
yea use that. its still pretty bad, was hoping something else to help, ty though.

Anyone have any skillchains they want to share?
I know that at this stage of the game, most of us are often just happy to have something to do....but I just can't imagine doing anything on this shield past the 100% craftsmanship...as has been pointed out, the time/gil sink could be spent to get me an entire set of Ea+1 and Oshosi+1...which is going to be a better move in the long-run?

Long-run? Crafting is always the best choice. Ea +1 is awesome but apart from Zerde what BLM burst content is there? Oshosi+1 is in a similar situation although if you get enough like-minded people I am sure you can do more than 1 T4 RNG style.
That being said... I haven't started my craftchains phase yet. I am not particularly interested in being the one that "figures" it out.

I'm talking even just farming the gil and buying those sets. Still think I'd come out ahead.

For years I've agreed with you, that crafting is the best long-term choice. I don't know if I think that way considering the investment requirement, and the benefits, in particular, to my personal craft (clothcraft).
I think im just a glutton for punishment as im doing the spheres stuff at the moment, but in me own time as the pure mass farming of sphere's and them exploding all the time can do ur head in lol, but now i have a target ish through this thread to work to one way or another il get there... I am though i have to add abit obsessed with crafting and rather stubborn so that helps. I'm weird in the sense im doing it because just because i want the end shied i then have rather alot of mules on level 2 shields, but i prob will have a break or break down by then and go back to finishing me almace lol lol
I can't even imagine someone being crazy enough to work on this stage. Do you realize how utterly ridiculous it is?
We're talking a minimum of like 3 months of pure nothing but crafting, and if you do it semi casually, over a year.
The mobs for something like Papyrus are so spread out and so slow to repop just the running from mob to mob and having to drop to the bottom and exit back to the top would drive a sane player bat ***crazy.

Well like I said, there really isn't a lot left in the game that's a true grind, so I do understand that there is a vocal minority like yourself out there. I think, however, that for the first time I won't be part of it.

Trying to get an LS member who's on that stage to make materials into an LS event.
Everyone else farms fetich to keep treasure pool full with him as quartermaster. he just spam crafts.
Then he gets to spend all his free time doing craft chains in port jeuno all day.
He was not keen on the idea.

Well i am obsessed with crafting as i say so i would have taken you up on that lol.
I have list chains etc and know what i need farm and where, so il plug away at it. Its only pointless if you dont enjoy it and dont really realllyyyy want whats at the end. I love crafting in any sense and dont mind farming, its just the mass fail on making spheres sometimes annoys me.

Even if you were paying me an hourly salary in cash to do it, I wouldn't be either lol. This should've been a server wide effort thing, raise 2 million spirit and the HQ rate for everything goes up 1% for everyone. Til like "maximum static amount" is gained.
So, how does this work with the cooking shield, lol...
The cooking shield should be about 1/20th the amount of spirit... I'd be willing to bet there will never be a cooking shield at this stage, ever. Realistically I don't think you could ever break even with the cost of the spheres and the time wasted.
I'm with Queen on the crafting obsession, all crafts 110 and all shields stage 3 (apart from cooking) but i will only finish 1 shield. No way am i going through this with them all !!!
I'm mad enough do one but yeah even il be pulling my hair out by the end, luckily i have alot of hair lol... and if i need a break i have 2 crafts still 100 n 106 so i know what il be doing lol...amongst other things.

zerde blm
Telos mele
Sandworm war
Erin. thf + mew
vini is easier with blms than rngs, and albumen is easier with melee than rngs
never mind that if you've hopped on smn bandwagon you use that for everything
this thread is supposed to be about synth shield and how stupid it is to actually finish it instead of waiting 6 months for them to nerf it into something trivial, though

I don't have much hope for any adjustment in difficulty. Their style has always been to wait to adjust difficulty until it's been far too long. That said, the change to HQ rate bonus gear is a huge adjustment. So I guess be thankful for that?

Problem with the HQ rate bonus is half the awesomeness of it is locked up in this shield :(.
