completing synthesis note guide is a tiring and tedious process. I will
explain "moogle levels" first then "type of materials obtained" then the hard
"complete collection lists" followed by "synthesized recipes"
Here are some general tips before explaining in more details of synthesis notes.
First be sure to have all your "lucky lucky" abilities on for all characters
[ the effect stacks]. Because lucky lucky is such a essential part of completing
synthesis notes, i will explain in more details in the next section
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
============================
[luc3] Lucky Lucky
============================
First off i will explain how the drops normally work without any "lucky lucky"s
on.Normal drops are considered to have a drop percentile of 8-6%.Uncommon drops
have a drop percentile of 3-4% and rare drops have a drop percentile of 1-2%.
After couple of tests i believe each "lucky lucky" ability you put on increases
the drop rate percentile by about 5%. Now lets say for example you killed a
heartless.Normally without any lucky lucky ability on you will have a 8% chance
of dropping a normal drop. But if you add in one "lucky lucky" ability to your
character that drop percentile will increase to 13%. The max amount of "Lucky
Lucky ability you can get is seven.
Here is a list of how to achieve7 lucky lucky
-sora can equip the keyblade sweet memories received by finishing the expotition
minigame in pooh's world
- Anyone can equip "item ring" accesory that can be won from the pain and panic
cup at Olympus coliseum.
- Donald can equip Meteor staff found at Port Royal during your 2nd visit.
- Goofy can equip Genji shield won from Titan cup at the olympus coliseum
- Sora will gain a "Lucky Lucky" ability by leveling up. The Level that you
receive the ability will bediffrent depending onwhat weapon you chose for Roxas
during the beggining of the game.If you chose the sword you willget it in level
41. If you chose shield it will be level 53. If you chose staff you will get it
at [gasp] level 99.
- donald will gain a "lucky lucky" ability at Twilight town during your 2nd
visit automatically.
- Goofy will gain a " lucky lucky" ability after fighting the hyenas in
prideland your first visit.
It is important to note although having the lucky lucky ability it great
sometimes having too much lucky lucky will be bad for you. For example lets
say you want a Twilight shard from the nobody,Gambler.But if you have too much
lucky lucky on chances are you will receive the more rarer serenity gem or
nobody's guard instead more often. So if that kind of situation is happening to
you, just take off one lucky lucky ability.

============================
[mog9] Moogle level
============================
You probably have noticed that each time you make an item from the moogle
shop you gain a bit of experience points. Well, when you make enough items to
go over the experience cap, you will gain a level. To complete this objective
you have to get the moogleshop level to its max, which is level 9.
Level 1 40 EXP Decipher recipes and synthesize items!
Level 2 62 EXP Use Brightness and Energy Materials!
Level 3 116 EXP Use Serenity Materials!
Level 4 196 EXP Use up to two extra Materials!
Level 5 238 EXP Rank C recipe Materials cut by half!
Level 6 474 EXP Rank B recipe Materials cut by half!
Level 7 934 EXP Rank A recipe Materials cut by half!
Level 8 1576 EXP Make new items in Free Development!
Level 9 max exp Rank S recipe Materials cut by half!
It is important to note that you can make this process go by alot faster
by using the brightness material gained when you reach level 2. When you
use a brightness material while synthesizing an item you will gain twice
the experience then what was first given [very handy i love it].

[syr3] Synthesized recipes
============================
To finish this sidequest you have to make one of everysingle item
that is synthesizable. This sounds horrible but its not as bad as it
sounds. If youve just completed the "complete collection lists" sidequest
you probably have plenty of items to use to accomplish this.
First find the following recipes and make one of every single of these
items
Style recipe: Found in Pooh's world: starry hill
Skill recipe: find it in Radiant Garden: ansem's study
star recipe: found in disney castle: courtyard
Recovery recipe: found in land of dragon [ your second visit ]
queen recipe: found in land of dragons: throne room
moon recipe: found in Radiant garden: restoration site
mega recipe: found in beast's castle: beast's room
king recipe: found in port royal: seadrift graveyard
Guard recipe: found in pooh's world: spooky caves
Ultimate recipe: found in twilight town in the underground labatory.
To make the ultima weapon [from the ultimate recipe] you have to use a
energy crystal to half the amount of orichalcum + needed [there is only
7 orichalcum in the game but the recipe says you need 14].
Second thing you need to do is make everything that is in the Free
development section. The moogle seems to just randomly put new recipes
in there as the game progresses.
Ok so now you will have to use Serenity stones to derive a new item
out of the items you have created from your free development and
recipe's section. For example lets say you've made a firaga bangle.
Now use a Serenity shard while making the firaga bangle. This will
make a new item called firaGUN bangle. get it? Do this for every item
previous to a "????" spot to create the item that was "????" pretty easy.
Heres a list to show you what item turns into what after serenity stone
Elixr becomes megalixir
megapotion becomes mega ether
drive recovery becomes high drive recovery
ap boost becomes magic boost
defense boost becomes power boost
firaga bangle becomes firagun bangle
blizzaga armlet becomes blizzagun armlet
thundaga trinket becomes thundagun trinket
midnight anklet becomes chaos anklet
Acrisius becomes acrisius+
power band becomes buster band [one of the best armor]
garnet ring becomes diamond ring
mythril ring becomes orichalcum ring
soldier earring becomes fencer earring
mage earring becomes slayer earring
expert's earring becomes master's earring
mythril shard becomes mythril stone.
mythril stone becomes mythril crystal
petite ribbon becomes ribbon
moon armlet becomes star charm
save the queen becomes save the queen+ [more info on this in faq]
save the king becomes save the king+ [more info on this in faq]
ultimate weapon only has one form
