There were several times I was attempting this synth after asking on here, and I would have my elements within +/-3 and no leak, and it still wouldn't be ready for end synergy. It's why I was so frustrated on making this staff. I did finally get it done, but I would love to understand exactly why it was being like this. I did have to stop a couple of ice/water leaks while synthing, and that sometimes caused fire or wind element to be up over 10. I don't know if that was why they were failing, but if that's the case what the heck are we supposed to do when a leak happens if we can't put in the opposing element? Thanks much guys!
Not sure why your having difficulty when this synth is mighty easy in my opinion. You just have to make sure you start off with the right elements first for instance when you begin which element do you start off with because for you to get a leak and the opposite element is going up by up to 10 is just insane and means your doing something wrong.
when i make these craft i start off with feeding water element first you reach water to its goal which is 30 or near 30 then i go with fire and just feed fire till about 20+ element that way your water wont leak because fire is right up there up to par with it then go with ice up to its goal and since fire is up there already ice wont have much of a problem even though you could feed some wind just to be on the safe side then start feeding earth till its goal then you move on to lastly light and dark which is tricky if you don't know how to start off right with them but i noticed for light and dark it can be up to +/-4 and it will still complete the synth but i really don't see it that difficult but hope it helps GL.
