I was wondering , once you reach LGM (skill 1000) SCing, does having any skill above 1000 help you make lower level gems quality 99% any easier or does it only give you access to higher lvl SC gems? I was told you only need 1000 skill and its not worth it to skill after..but i was curious as to wether it would make 99% or MP gems of lower levels easier..

Also - is there any items or anything to help ensure higher quality gems?

thanks

General crafting:
Going higher than 1000 isnt necessary for higher chances in mp or 99 - its just faster, if the gems you produce, are grey instead of green/blue/yellow...

Maybe there are some issues to consider with overcharging and going beyond 1000 - but that I dunno.

No.

you need 1000 for overcharging.
sometimes you need a Perfect Brilliant Rune(50 all focus gem) which is skill 999. if you want to do it without fail-chance you would need 1050 or something.
also you need skill 1009 for Etched Aquamarine Eye to be yellow(no losing materials if craft fails), which is needed for creating trophies out of remains.

i am at 1009, it's enough for everything

Here on Uth there is still a fail chance for grey items.

not if it's low enough. i don't know how much higher your skill lvl has to be than the craft lvl to never fail, maybe 50 or something, but there is a number.
