Here is the dialogue from Mewk after you receive the crystal from your guild master. It seems the skillchain items added in this update are for the fourth stage shields.
Posted with params filled in last page for bone. You missed a secondary CS that one leads into, as well. Someone else posted the mentioned items for wood. Looks like each craft will give away 2 ingredients. All seems to be annoying stuff that requires hand farming.

lightning: bomb coal, quadav fetich torso
wind: elshimo marble, demon pen

Have you been able to do those synths to get the Craftchain Spheres?

Edit: Using a Lightning Crystal and a Quadav Fetich Head, I was able to get a Gravitation Sphere on an HQ result. I got a Scission Sphere on an NQ.

And so far, the break rate is *HORRIBLE*.

Haven't tried. Rushed through craftsmanship because I was curious what was next, way behind on GP so going to wait and see what others discover before actually trying it.

Break rate being horrible because of lightning crystal?

Why would lightning crystal cause horrible break rates? Assuming it's desynth or something?

Yeah, everything so far is Wind or Lightning, so it seems desynthing.

I've had almost all of the elements come from it, so it doesn't seem to be tied to fire makes liquification/fusion/light, or anything like that, so I'm assuming it's Desynth, too.

They're used with the shield imrpovement system. Not sure exactly yest, but it seems to be something based on skill chains; I'll know more tonight after work if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

Could be but crystal types themselves don't determine if it's desynth or not. That said generally speaking anything to do with breaking down beastmen race drops is. Might be worth it to get the moghancement as that used to make a rather large difference back in the day doing that

Pretty easy to tell, desynths say 'obtained' while synths say 'synthesized' if you disable battlemod and synth vanilla.

Also:

It seems that Lightning Desynths (or at least the Fetiches), give: Liquification, Reverbration, Detonation, Scission, Fusion, Distortion, and Light results; I'm guessing that Wind gives the other 7.

Edit And as soon as I type that, I literally get a Darkness Sphere from a lightning, followed by a gravitation. SO, maybe any of them can give anything?

Each fetich gives a different result. You can't get all of them from one item. For instance, the arms will yield liquefaction with a NQ or HQ1, fusion with a HQ2, and light with a HQ3.

Edit:
It seems like you can get
Head: scission/gravitation/darkness
Torso: reverberation/distortion/darkness
Arms: liquefaction/fusion/light
Legs: detonation/fragmentation/light

I may have to double check, but either way, you can get all but four of the Lv1 SC properties in Palborough if you bring a whole bunch of lightning crystals with you. It's getting kind of crowded here on Carbuncle now, but I don't know any better camps to farm these.

The amount of craftsmanship gained per synth has decreased in each successive stage. Stage1/2 were under 2 hours, stage3 took around 5, and stage4 takes around 10.
That matches up with what I've noticed. Time spent grinding synths seems to double each stage now.

The machine thing is fairly straight forward. It follows the SC chart. Use a wind + detonation to start > earth + scission it will make scission onto the machine. From there you could do water + reverberation or fire + liquefaction. After that if you went the liquefaction route, I am unsure if you would use a fusion + fire/light, or impaction + thunder or light/fire? since it would make fusion with an impaction property.

You need a catalyst for every sc you do as well. They are in order which you need. So, you can prepare each time you want to do a set.

Not really sure how much spirit you need though. I did like 10~? And it looked like the meter was still at one

Maybe I was doing something wrong, but it doesn't work exactly like the weapons. I tried to repeat scission and detonation, but it would just stop chaining. I did a lot more than just 10~, but the gauge didn't budge at all.

I saw an HQ animation on reverberation and it gave 3 instead of 2.

Well weapons can't actually infinite skillchain due to timer decreases so maybe that's factored in too?

Hmmm, yeah. I just started relying on shorter chains, but maybe there is some sort of timer involved for the crafting chains too.

Not sure if anybody else has noticed this, but there seems to be some buggy behavior with the 30k WS objectives in Omen now. Your WS doesn't seem to count sometimes. I did a 45k Reso and it was counted, but I have also done a 30k+ Savage Blade (no the mob did not die) and it was not counted. Skillchains don't seem to be counted for this anymore either (although it could have been the first bug happening again by chance many times.)

I've always noticed this bug, but I'll admit it seems to happen more often since the patch.
I'm talking about both: >30k not killing (WS alone) not counting and >30k not killing (WS+SC) not counting

Not a 100% thing either though, because some other times it works as it should.
Oddly enough though this only happens for WS for me, never saw it happen for the 15k non MB or the 30k MB nuke ones.

Another thing that's broken is the "kill XX mobs", I always have to kill MORE than it asks me to. Think sometimes it doesn't give you credit for some mobs. Maybe if you kill too fast or something? I dunno really.



Question: has Lunge MB never worked for the 30k MB objective or is it a recent change?

Are there any guides out for the strange apparatuses that include their new behavior?

People have mentioned the 30k+ WS objective not working on the Trans Mandragora. Are you experiencing this with the Mandragora, or a different mob?

If the Trans Mandragora guards a WS, it won't count for the objective.

We did two omen runs last night and my wife landed the 30k each time we got it even on the Mandy. I'm sure Hiepy is right though. I bet it's the Mandy giving people issues.

I haven't paid attention each time but I doubt it is always for kill xxx given you can and I have since the update gotten amounts that corresponded to every single available mob. And the other night actually had kill iirc 55 which meant all but 1 sweetwater and sure enough finished with 1 left

My set isn't good enough to hit the 30k with my trusts but pretty sure I've seen it still record me for that objective as the highest. Side note Lunge and swipe both count as crits for objectives

Edit: Not working on MB now it seems
