Synergy Skill Up Guide by Michaeldue

Many people with high level crafting skills have used their Apron to skill up Synergy on. - However, it is also possible to skill up Synergy without having any crafting skills (except cooking level 10). So if you want to get started on Synergy and get at least skill level 40, then you can use the following method: ==Preparing== You need to get yourself a NQ Behemoths Knife and lots of water crystals to begin with. ==Levelling Cooking 1 -> 10 & Ranking up to Recruit Cook== Start off by levelling cooking 1->10 this can be done pretty fast in Windurst Waters by synthesing Orange Juice, buy the Oranges from the Sauratauruba Region Merchant (and remember to get Adv. Synths Support from Kipo-Opo, Windurst Waters, North (E-9)). - Once you hit level 10 and trade in your "Salmon Sub Sandwich" for Rank up to Recruit Cook, then you are ready to begin Synergizing. ==Items Needed for Synergy== NQ Behemoths Knife ==Getting Started on Synergy== Find a Synergy Furnace and trade 4 Oranges to begin Synergizing an Orange Juice's. The goal here is to earn at least 125 Cinders that you get from successfully Synergizing items. So it probably requires 2 successfull syn's. Once you got 125+ Cinders, Talk to the Synergy Engineer NPC -> Trade Cinder -> Buy a flash of Mordant 75 and possible also a Revertant. Next you got to get yourself a high level weapon that can hold Evolite and thus is Synergize-able. I suggest you buy a cheap NQ Behemoth Knife or an Engetsuto. Congratulations you can now begin to level your Synergize skill from 1->40 by repeating the following method ::[/B] ==Levelling Synergy 1 -> 40== Claim a Synergy Furnace, Trade the weapon + the Mordant 75 to the Synergy Furnace. 1 or more Elements should have a Target number so start Trading Fewell like crazy to one of those corresponding elements and keep spamming this until the synergy fails! - You can then reclaim your Mordant 75 and your Weapon and repeat the above A and B steps to raise your synergy skill from 1->40ish. - Do NOT END the Synergy if you hit the target number(s)! Unless you want to earn Cinders, but then you have to use the Revertant to reset the weapon back to a base type weapon with no evolite slots. =Final Notes= - It takes time to skill up Synergy. - AND Gil to refill the Synergy Furnace elements (either via trading Crystals or Paying the Synergy Engineer to refill it). - But I think this is the cheapest method to raise your skill so far. ==Still to come== Feel free to edit / add to this guide. ==Credits== Michaeldue
