                 Thanks guys but even one answer was enough!
 Didn't know that's how Libra appeared.
It was Libra, btw.

And if so, would it be possible to take this recipe up to 80 Synergy?Orchestrion recipe is Amateur rank, and Amateur only goes up to 10.
Ahh, good to know, BG Wiki lists it as an Adept rank, that's why I asked.

Maybe we're talking two different things. I'm thinking about the Synergy recipe and using it to skill up to 80. It seems like you're thinking the Synthesis recipe, which requires the crystal. I understand that the items for the Synthesis can only be gotten during the event, was wondering the same with Synergy as all of the items listed can be gotten in game. I don't really have any high level crafts, so it'd be nice if I could Synergy spam that to 80.

                 Durrhurr you are absolutely right. 
Synergy is listed as Adept, which is 81-90, so have at it!

                 sv/mercato and troub/night for that matter go off of song potency/duration after gear bonuses are applied or just double/1.5x  the base potency?

                 sv/mercato and troub/night for that matter go off of song potency/duration after gear bonuses are applied or just double/1.5x  the base potency?It's based off your full duration/potency, not the base.
 
For SV and marcato, some songs can't gain potency though so they increase duration instead.  Mazurka for example.

                 I don't use drg in aby often at all, but if I was dicking around, either low-man or solo (with no regard for my hp.. let's just call it a non-factor for pure math sake), which 3 atmas would be best. I realize RR and Apoc should be your main stay on every DD job, basically. But the inquiry I have in my mind is to the third. Does drg get more out of SS for drakes, or A & O for drakes/stardiver since drg is generally attack starved? Does that 30% crit dmg, beat the 10 TA 50 att? Also, while on that topic, does A & O beat SS for any of the major crit WS? I was always under the impression it doesn't, because it helps white dmg DoT as well, but I never actually thought to ask from a math standpoint.

                 Do elemental weaponskills recieve a dmg boost from INT in the same sense that a mage spell does?

                 Not exactly, but some of them do benefit from INT.
 The equation is:
 Damage = ( (Level + 2 + Damage from Modifiers)*fTP + dSTAT ) * Magic damage terms
 
 dSTAT was traditionally Player INT - Monster INT, but that has been changing. You can find values for all the WSs on BGwiki.

                 Yeah, supposedly pretty easily on BST.

                 How much hate does Velocity Shot generate? I`ve been noticing that I'm pulling hate on RNG just from using the JA itself and nothing else.

                 I have a question. My spellcast is not working and it said to check the top of the script to see what is wrong. The top said <?xml version="1.0" ?> in yellow. Can someone tell me what is wrong?

                 So I have a stupid question... when playing on PC and with the keyboard mode set to compact, if you hit the Home key the camera will stay behind your character when you're turning. This is very nice for when you're running a long distance, but unfortunately, running into a mob or trying to run in the opposite direction switches you back to the regular camera. Is there any way to "lock" this camera mode so it doesn't turn off? 
 For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, try it out. I've been playing since the day this game came out and I only found out about this on accident, maybe 2-3 years ago. I've asked a few ls friends and they had no idea that this existed, so it doesn't seem very well known. I'm also assuming that this works for all systems/versions, but if for some reason you can't get this to work, maybe it's windower only? Not 100% sure.

                 So I have a stupid question... when playing on PC and with the keyboard mode set to compact, if you hit the Home key the camera will stay behind your character when you're turning. This is very nice for when you're running a long distance, but unfortunately, running into a mob or trying to run in the opposite direction switches you back to the regular camera. Is there any way to "lock" this camera mode so it doesn't turn off? 
 For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, try it out. I've been playing since the day this game came out and I only found out about this on accident, maybe 2-3 years ago.

Oh god that camera-thing was horrible XD
