While I am stuck with 3102 I am in Gridania as Merlon Wytarensyn. I made a duplicate Merlon using my saved Character creator data on the Japanese Server cluster. Please come make a character here if you wish. Its somewhere to hang out and chat in nice surroundings if nothing else.

@VIII A question for you, you say you managed to level goldsmith to 25? Is the level cap not in place for crafting? It probably won't make any difference for me as I've been locked out for 13 hours with error 3102. ---- @Hiname Firstly thankyou so much The CP needed are now modified to 92 for Masters Mend and 88 for Manipulation. Manipulation now restores 10 CP after each of the next 3 steps. Previously at 150 CP it was pretty worthless restoring 5CP after the next 5 steps. As a (cross class skill?) manipulation was letting me achieve something like 700XP per synth of bronze plate level 3 at level 5-8. Start with Manipulation then use remaining CP on increasing quality with Basic Touch and finish off with Basic Synthesis. The increase in EXP for quality seems to level out after around 15% quality but still increases slowly. At 8% its 150% at 20% about 250% and 28% about 280% so aiming safely at about 10-15% HQ for skillup increases seems a good place to be. The rapid synthesis seems to give around 50% of the EXP of a standard synth where you just hit basic synth each time. Very poor return for levelling up considering that the basic amount of EXP can easily be doubled once you hit level 5, but much less soul destroying than making stacks of ingots manually.

Well the servers apparently are back up after a reset. I am still on error 3102 since 9 yesterday, over 12 hours this time. The other 3 times I had it varied from 1- 6 hours I have made a character on Fenrir server on the JP cluster (in Gridania) so if anyone wants to come say hello to Merlon Wytarensyn there I'd be happy to find someone to chat to. I'll look round for a nice spot to sit.
