[Cichard]

what type of shards/crystals are you farming and are you using mount and sprint?

[darkraito]

wards skills helps too.

[badzlast]

[Cichard]

are you using ur wards?

[darkraito]

Specifically, Nald'thal's Ward, and Llymlaen's Ward then.

How do you make it so it would use the right skill for the shard? In running fire and water st the moment.

[darkraito]

+ On a gatherer class (with cross class skills enabled), click skill manager.
+ refresh the skill list
+ select None profile (to create a new profile)
+ click what skills you want to add to the profile
+ click the skill name (in the profile window) to add criteria, like "Attempts Count", and or "Has Items".
- i don't remember if HasItem require ID or item name.
- you can drag the middle line to show the left-side of the skill criteria completely.
+ save profile.
+ done.


:P
anyways, if the skill names shows as weird un-readable symbols. just reload lua modules and try again. this may happens some time.

I made me a "shard" Profile, that has all shard skills in it, every one based on the "Has item" setting (it takes names btw). So Everytime I farm shards, I activate that profile, no matter what kind of shard.

I know there is an answer above, but you can't have to many posts with advice right?

I have a Miner class and a Botanist class profile, they are named Shard Farm MIN and Shard Farm BOT.

The skills list is as :

1. Byregot's Ward
2. Thaliak's Ward
3. Nald'thal's Ward
4. Memphina's Ward
5. Llymlaen's Ward
6. Nophica's Ward

The parameter settings are the same for all skills and are as :

Name : (Relevant Name)
ID : (Relevant ID)
Enabled : [/]
GP < : 0
GP > : 400
Player Has Buff :
Player Has NOT :
Gather Attempts : 0
Has Item : xxxx* Crystal


* xxxx denotes the relevant type e.g Lightning, Wind, Earth etc.

The reason I use Crystal instead of Shard is because I would much rather gather 3 Crystals per attempt (240gil total on my server) vs 3 Shards (40gil total on my server)
