  • Most of the items I will be listing have a 4-5 level gap in them. In the case of a having a gap of greater than 5 levels, having Advanced Synthesis Support is a must. You will not get any skill-ups for any breaks if you are more than 5 levels under the skill level of the synth!

Aside from the above recipes, you also have the option of attempting to skill-up by repeatedly crafting a lower level synth. Be warned though, the chance of getting a skill-up for a lower-level synth is incredibly small! You may have to literally craft hundreds of lower-level synths in hopes of getting a skill-up through this alternate method.

  • Kitron Macarons should be used, as well as any armor items that increase crafting skill-up chances to give this method the best chances possible for skill-ups....but even so, the chance is still incredibly small!


Congrats on achieving Smithing skill level 110!
