It works great at low lvl, I went 0-20 on a mule's subcraft fast, every synth was a .1~.2 skill up. It wasn't the same at 99 though, did 17 Red Curry Synths, only got .6 skill ups in those 17 attempts.
Well I'm confused by people's comments... Are you laughing about him not getting any HQs or do you just not believe in the crafting direction hypothesis?
