Synergy

I'm not into crafting. I'm not into augments particularily. I'm not into camping particular monsters for a small chance at getting claim/kill/drop. I'm not into gathering a group of people to take part in an activity that will soley benefit myself. Synergy is certainly a good choice of name for this system because it combines all of the above into one abhorrent monster of an activity.

It is with pleasure that we announce the arrival of the version update featuring the exciting new Synergy and Evolith systems. Get together with your craftiest friends to create heretofore unseen items and put the perfect finishing touches on your arms and armor, old and new alike!

Pros
- Exploding is funny
- There is a mithra in the preview pictures
- Thwack furnace (THIS IS HOW WE FIX PROBLEM IN RUSSIAN SPACE STATION!)

Cons
- Think about crafting, but the only materials you can synth with are exclusive NM drops
- Need friends (with skill in appropriate craft?) to help synth stuff
- No idea what gear you can actually synth yet, unlikely to be anything useful
- Augments likely to be lackluster and not worth the effort involved
- Going to Bastok sucks unless you have a home point there
- Claim usage of a synergy furnace. Idiotic idea, and you can't get a private furnace until you get level 5 synergy skill AND complete a quest.
