Frequency of new item recipes added

From what ive observed maximum proficiency lvl I can gain is +7 to the items difficulty from synthesising items. My last item was fighters red loincloth which took me to 127, and i can use rev 6 to get to 137, which leaves me with this

Option 1, wait for newer recipes or
Option 2, craft orichalcum

Which do u think is better

 

if u dont mind wait..use option 1..if u really desperate want to have 4 lock so fast..use option 2..in my case idm waiting i just have fun play and wait xD

 

Max it raises it is 11 above Item level and if they do like they did with 3 lock you'll probably have to wait at least 1 year or longer to get 4 lock without crafting Ori. So which is better depends on how long you're willing to wait.

 

Wait its a virtue hehehe eventually we all will have 4 locks ;-)

 

I see, ill make do with 3lock while waiting then.
By the way, how do u guys invest skill points into Synthesis tree? I like saving as much sp for combat abilities so what I did was: Item synthesis lvl5, first two upper row skills at lvl10, and first bottom row skill at lvl1. I think 255 points in tec helps me have 100% success when changing dyes, but item synthesis sometimes doesn't finish completely

 

Mine's a tech bs/alchemist so currently I only have bow, blacksmith and alchemy skills with majority of my skill points in the production trees. Like refine skills for 0-B the Item synth skills actually matter for item crafting success rate.
