the time is now 7:30am, my cooking skill has reached 70. I have just concluded the first test of hq synthing. 5 stacks equaling a total 60 attempts yealded 17 hq results, 42 normal results, and 1 failure.
the test was conducted half on firesday, half on earthsday, both useing advanced synth, firesday provived more hq results as well as the only failure.
Total cost for the exparimet come to circa 40K. hq synth will sell for around 20K/dozen earning a net gross of around 28K. normal synth sells for circa 7K/dozen with a net gross of 24.5
giveing us a total gross of 52.5K
minus goss expence of 40K
net Profit 12.5K
1 hour work for preperation, execuation, and post test procedurs (setting up for sale)
Conclusion: Although currently proven to work better results may come with even higher skill, therefore attaning higher skill should be made a priority once enough gill has been earned to repay depts.

Been a bit since last post (nothing new there) but today has been a special day, and as such deserves a post all to it's own.
Late into the night i decided that the class of Paladin just wasn't something i wanted to level any more. So i made a deal with Icy granting me about 50K gill a week in return for food in order to support myself as a RNG/NIN, Ranger was already at 22 so the task for now is leveling NIN, i think i'll take it to about 30 or so, depending on how things go in Kazam, 25 at least for sure. Then i'll switch back to Ranger, bows will be my primary focus as guns are too expensive even for one who is being funded, by the end of the year i hope to have Ranger leveld beyone my PLD (48 currently). In the process of leveling NIN one scroll is vitally important, even more so then any other, Utsusimi (or something like that), the absolute most popular, most broken spell in the game, traditoinally cost circa 140K gill. On a whim, knowing that i didn't have enough gill to purchase said scroll as yet, i went ahead and bid my entire stock of gill, about 39K, AND IT SOLD!!! Needless to say i really upset someone, but ohh well, their fault.
But that is only the begining of my good fourtune. Today when i went into work the Team lead and Front End manager were at the door, just a coincidence i'm sure, but i was told that i would be at the Gas station for a few hours today, considering that this is to become my full time occupation as of saterday i was glad for the opportunity. However as i was walking away the front end manager said that she would like to talk to me later about an oppotunity, my curiousity perked i expected to hear something most likely around the end of the day.
As luck would have it, the front end manager decided to fill up her tank with gas after she came back from lunch, on purpose or not i can't be sure, but we talked and she brought up the opportunity she spoke of. but first she gave me a compliment, weither she ment to or not, by telling me that when she told General Manager that i would be in gas he said "Well that's a big waste of talent" this kind of recognition goes to your head quick to say the least, especally when followed with a very interesting offer, that i accepted immediatly btw.
Basically they have and employee who is pregnet and will be takeign maturnity leave, they need to start training this person's replacmnet VERY SOON as training for this positon takes a while, with a level of responsability higher probably then even a COS. How you ask? The answer is simple, the sam's club i work for handles a very, very, very large amount of money each week (i'd tell you what they estimated for me, but that's something i've decided i should probably keep confidential) and well, someone has to count, store, keep track, add and subtract all that for them, if you havn't guessed by now it's the Cash/Accounting Office. As is right now they only need someone there part time, but in order to give me full time status (and benifits) i would work the cash offce, most or at least more then half of my time and would fill out my schedule with time at the Gas station. I would be classified as a cash office employee with a pay increase (how much i'm not sure yet) and would keep that payrate while working at the Gas station. So all in all, very Shweat^^
You might ask "Why did you put that all the way down here, surly this is more important then FFXI" To you i respond, Fuck off, i wanted to keep it Chronolagical (or however you spell it)
Besides, FFXI servers are down due to Tech Difficulties, this is the first time i've seen the FFXI servers crash, reminds me a bit of my days with Galaxies, tootials^^
