all of the following is based on east australia time. (GMT +10) i made a soc pair of boots at 9:47pm-9:48pm some where in between there. didnt mean much untill a few weeks later i spot a great soc maker who is well know for artisan socs. dunno if u guys on this forum are allowed to mention in-game names so i just wont. btw this is dragon server. he was there from 9:34pm-10:10pm going bak and forth from the market. sitting next to the artisan for bout 1-2 mins then going bak id say to get more mets. i was stalkin him thw whole time lol. maybe itll help :) in the near future i will be trying this. ill let you guys know if it fails or i get somethin.
