Atelier Ryza Synthesis 101: How To Craft Stuff | Guides | Backlog Battle

[@BacklogBattle]

ADDENDUM: Hi all! I wanted to add the following pieces of information that’s been clarified since this video was made! 1) You can get more Choose Quantity by raising your alchemy level. You get one additional CQ every 10 levels. 2) Trait transference stops at the final item. You can see the Trait Category by looking up the Trait in the Table of Contents. The Trait Category determines if you can use it for the final item. 3) To Make, shown on the right side display, indicates how many of that item will be made during synthesis! That’s all for now, but I’ll make sure to keep updating this pinned post should more updates arise! Thanks for all the feedback and comments!

[@Fubblin]

This guide and addendum were incredibly helpful, well made and easy to follow. It has been ages since I played a JRPG and I have never played this series before. With all the different systems in the game I really appreciate this video saving me hours of frustration.

[@BacklogBattle]

Thank you very much! I was hoping I could help people understand the game without having to reread the tutorials. I don’t normally make guides, but I felt this was really needed! Thanks again!

[@obsidianvoyage3008]

Is their away to craft multiple items at once? I seen it done but not sure how to do it.

[@BacklogBattle]

Obsidian Voyage sadly, not in this game 🙁

[@GoatHeadTed]

Bro this is the greatest tutorial for any game! No rambling. Straight to the point. Everything is simplified. And your voice is not annoying!

[@gunting]

I agree. I really love guides that are heavily edited like this. By that I mean, not "Let's play I'll teach you while I'm playing the game while rambling. And each videos going to last 60 minutes, and the series will have 12 episodes in total. Oh it's 40 minutes already, boy so that's how the UI in Dwarf Fortress" "Let's Play" styled tutorials have TOO much noises, compared to this format. Straight to the point, compact, heavily edited with arrows, key points, thanks for making this!

This game is psychotically deep! You can spend so much time just synthesizing and never go anywhere or talk to any characters or battle anything although I LOVE the battle system it's so damn fun

[@BacklogBattle]

This crafting system is very addicting! I can’t count how many hours I’ve spend just trying to perfect the items I’m making!

Heck of a guide, you really do make things so much clearer then the game did, thank you and kudos @Backlog Battle.

[@BacklogBattle]

This was a video born out of the desire to make sure people don't sleep on this game. I heard from many gamers who said that Atelier's tutorials weren't great, so I took it upon myself to make this to ease the pressure on how the game onboards people. But I don't see myself as a "guide maker" though! LOL

Atelier Yumia's announcement made me decide to pick up Ryza 1 again after i dropped it, the alchemy was really confusing to me but this helped me out a lot! thanks for the video man this was really high quality.

[@wusscake]

Another suggestion is that the auto craft feature typically fuses materials in a way so that it selects a group of materials that all give one trait, such as critical+, healing, few bonus+, etc. Typically, you want to press R1 and use the High Quality auto craft feature, as long as the game isn't using any rare materials in the process (one example in particular is when the game uses natural cloth as a reagent to make natural cloth). Don't be stingy with your materials; you'll get higher level materials before long to outpace your current quality of items anyways, so go ham!

[@BacklogBattle]

Thanks for adding to the video! Always love it when other players post helpful tips on games people are trying to learn 😊

[@TheMicWillExperiment]

Thanks!

[@jordanharrison1113]

Thanks. I’m tempted to try the auto add for a while as I’m getting a bit obsessive with the alchemy system and need to move on lol. But I was worried it would basically be pointless and would ruin my experience with the game. It’s nice to hear it works well

[@wusscake]

@@jordanharrison1113 It works well overall, but it has a tendency to use rare and fused components while auto synthesizing, so keep an eye on it and make a couple changes when it gets goofy. Still saves a ton of time and headache.

I really appreciate the way you've explained everything in a clear, organized, straightforward way. Your Atelier Ryza tutorial videos saved the game for me. I heard great things about this game but I nearly dropped it because I couldn't wrap my head around the various mechanics enough to enjoy it. Before giving up, I decided to look up a tutorial as a last resort. Sure enough, your tutorials are clear and easy to follow along and now I'm loving the game! Many thanks!

[@deniseding-devoice4296]

Holy Grimoly - thank you for making this - and speaking clearly... with pictures. Learning that the initial effect unlocking isn't **required**, and the definition of that weird phrase "Choose Quantity" - priceless!! Also, what that mysterious number is below the item (... you know, because it usually means quantity-you-have in every other game - but NOT this one, and they don't tell you that). This is as valuable as the explanation (from someone else) that you don't get to bring consumables in your basket anymore even if you wanted to. It baffles me how Gust can have such excellent translation quality for the script/speech... but their instruction continues to be so lacking.

[@BacklogBattle]

I think they realized this and spent more time on these in the sequel! Either way, I’m glad to have helped!

[@notanimufailzone]

Who the hell disliked this video, It's a big help the game does a bad job at explaining the systems to new comers of the series. That being said I've been having fun with it even though I have no idea what I'm doing. The auto-pulling for the crafting has been a boon.

[@BacklogBattle]

NOTANIMUFAILZONE thank you for the kind words and I’m glad these guides were helpful to you!

[@omnislash0248]

Oh my god. Thank you for the detailed tutorial. Much more helpful then the actual game itself. I'm a new player and this is my first Atelier game, so I had no idea what I was doing.

Wow, this is streamlined, I usually have a tough time with alchemy with this series.

I love it! Crafting is so intuitive once you get the hang of it!

[@cormeaga]

I find the other games have a easier system, like Shallie. That one was simple and you could easily loop once you get near endgame.

[@llamaking447]

I never really got on with the Atelier series but ive seen so many positive reviews that i think Ryza might be the time to try again. Thanks for your videos im hoping to refer back to them again when i get the game to help me with synthesis. Its been a long time since i played an Atelier game.

[@BacklogBattle]

As someone who’s only played one game in the series, I really think Ryza is a great direction to the series that has a huge potential for mainstream appeal! Glad you’re trying it out!

[@SwiftGale1]

I desperately want to like this series. I've heard next to nothing but good things about it in general, and the premise (of gathering and crafting everything like your gear/tools) is something that I usually love in any game. But every time I get to the point in the game where it explains synthesis, my brain just shuts down entirely. Maybe after watching this I can give it another shot and see if I can actually enjoy the game.

[@Javelin805]

Thank you so much for this. Ryza is my first atelier game and was so confused with crafting.

[@BacklogBattle]

If they could only spend more time to make sure that their tutorials aren't confusing! I'd love for them to really hone in on this!

[@SaberKingofKnights1]

Now that's a proper tutorial thx

[@saitoXamaterasu]

this is why i love synthesis in all atelier, is depth and fun , i spend hours in this (all atelier)

[@BacklogBattle]

I think the more visual nature of synthesis will really help out newcomers. Sadly, the tutorials needed to do more heavy lifting to give players confidence to experiment and try things out.

[@saitoXamaterasu]

@@BacklogBattle i know about the bad tutorial in all atelier, but i dont thinks thats bad, because you learn doing things, for example i fell in love with the series for that , in sophie there are no many tutorial for synthesis and is confusing, buy if you try and try and try and try you learn how the system work, is like how the character and you are learn about alchemist , in real life there are no full tutorial for jobs or even study, you learn in the proces , i think is the same with this series

[@BacklogBattle]

I understand what you’re saying. However, not having proper tutorials is a serious block for anyone interested. That said, it’s why I made this video - to still allow people to enjoy the game, despite their feelings about the tutorials! If more people need me to make them, I’ll keep making them!

[@ashscar8878]

Many thanks for your guides on the crafting and battle systems! I recently started the game myself, but it's pretty daunting trying to wrap my head around the systems with the wordy tutorials and all. Your guides made them so much easier to digest while cutting down on the info dump, which I truly appreciate.

[@BacklogBattle]

You’re welcome! Will you be checking out other Atelier games after Ryza?

[@ashscar8878]

Probably not immediately since there are a bunch of upcoming games I've already planned to get first, haha.

[@ashscar8878]

If you don't mind me asking, do you have any tips or advice about traits when crafting items? There's such a huge list of them, it's hard to tell which ones are worth keeping on different items lol.

[@BacklogBattle]

I personally don't have any preferred Traits for specific items for the very reason you mentioned! There's a ton of traits to try and, honestly, the best way to make the best items is through experimentation!

[@ashscar8878]

Alrighty, thanks! Been playing quite a bit more and I think I'm getting a better hang of things somewhat, haha.

Thank you. You really helped break down a pretty complicated subject into easily-digestible chunks 👍🏻

[@LaLtheGaL]

This was one of the best tutorials I’ve watched. Thank you! I’m curious if you ALWAYS use the highest quality? For example, there’s a part where your making items for your hideout... do these really need to be high quality, since it’s not really being used in combat? Do you sell all your low quality materials?

[@BacklogBattle]

Thanks for the question! Initially, I did sell a lot of my low quality materials. However, a new feature was added later that made me chuck my low quality items into it so I can spend them to redo my created items. That said, for things like the house, I don’t necessarily think you need to HQ those! Hope this helps!

Dude, this guide you made is 100% better than the in-game tutorial. Not saying the in-game tutorial is bad, but the way you explained it step by step was clear and easy to understand. After I watched your video, I had a better idea of synthesising items. Also is there a way you can check the quantity of an item in the Material Loop process before it is being synthesised?

[@BacklogBattle]

Thanks a lot! As far as quantity goes, do you mean how much is made at the end?

[@michaelle1423]

@@BacklogBattle yes please

[@BacklogBattle]

On the right side, there’s a number next to a label called “To Make!”

[@johnjsal]

Very helpful, but I wish the video had explained the four numbers on the right side of the screen, around the picture of the item, i.e. "Lv", "To Make", "A-Lv.", etc. Edit: For what it's worth, I've learned a few things: "Lv" is the level of the item you're making. It has to be equal or lower than your alchemy level in order to make it. "A-Lv" is your alchemy level. "To Make" is how many of that item will be made in one synthesis. (This isn't show for single items like Bombs, Blessing Ointment, etc.) And the number in the lower left is the Element Value of the item you are making. This will increase/decrease depending on item quality. What this is is the number you see next to an item that represents how many nodes it will fill up in a loop. So if you are making some ingots with a "3" here, that means the resulting ingots will be worth a value of 3 for future synthesis recipes. It also shows the elements of the item here, so if the ingot has the fire symbol, it will be worth 3 fire nodes in my example.

[@MilaMarieRose]

1 thing I don't quite understand yet is: Is the only reason to craft multiples of an item to keep trying to make a better version of it to replace the one that is equipped? Thanks for the video, it's helped so far!

[@BacklogBattle]

Yes. The only reason why you’d make multiples is to try to make a better item. With the new Core Charge system, none of the items you make will ever be truly consumed!

[@wusscake]

You also want to have multiples of an item, like bombs or healing items, in case one character is stunned or KO'd. I always try to keep two heal items and two bomb users in the party in case a party member is unable to act for whatever reason.

Thanks a lot for the super detailed and noob-friendly guide. This is my first Atelier game and I'm glad I stumbled upon your videos. You have one more subscriber :) The only thing that I could think of to make your video even better is that you should straight up tell which button does what, for example the Table of Contents button is the minus button. It's kind of a trivial thing but some people don't see that there is a button list at the bottom of the screen haha. By the way are you planning to do more guides on the game, and maybe some more advanced guides for mid-/late/postgame?

[@BacklogBattle]

Thank you for your comment! For some reason I totally forgot to point out the buttons on the bottom! The reason why I left them out is because it was going to be different per platform, but I certainly could’ve pointed people to the button guide on the bottom! I currently have two guides I’m working on: Trait transference and a basic combat guide. If people want me to make more guides for the game, I’ll certainly make them! I’ve been reading through the comments to see what people are having problems with and acting based on that!

@@BacklogBattle If you can and you find it's worth it then maybe you make a guide on how to find materials (I know we can see item locations in the guide menu but it would be cool if we know which type of item we can get from trees or rocks or flowers etc., also from which gathering tools). Also maybe you can make a guide on team composition or how to best use each character, and also what to do in postgame. Don't know if people care about those in Atelier games, just some ideas. Anyways I'm looking forward to your future guides and videos.

[@BacklogBattle]

I’ll definitely consider those, as they’re great ideas! The challenge is balancing making videos about Atelier Ryza and also finding the time to play other games that are coming in for review. Given that I’m a one man crew here, there’s a delicate balance I have to maintain. 😁 Right now my focus is trying to help people learn the intricacies of the game and providing an alternative to the tutorials. Though I suspect as the days go by, there will be a demand for more late game feature tutorials!

@@BacklogBattle Hey no worries my dude. Take your time. I'm new to the game and planning to take my time enjoying the game as well

[@ebthebluealt]

Thank you soooo much! This clarified so much for me!

[@BacklogBattle]

You're very welcome! Check the pinned post if you still have questions! I added some more details on there!

[@blackknightdiscussions7632]

This was awesome. But I’m stuck on one of the earlier missions to help a doctor get supplements and I don’t know specifically what he wants…what am I making exactly?

[@Sardonic_Zee]

Very helpful, thank you! ☺️

[@BacklogBattle]

You’re welcome!

Really good guide, I was starting to piece it together myself but this helped clarify a lot ^_^ A few questions; what exactly determines the quality of the ingredients you harvest? Is it your alchemy level? Or is it based on the 'difficulty' of the area you're in? I seem to have better luck finding stuff far away, but then sometimes I find high quality stuff just messing around town so it's a bit confusing. I'm also assuming that the quality of your harvesting tools helps, but what about stuff you hit with your staff or just pick up? The min-maxer in me must know! Thank you again for the help!

[@BacklogBattle]

I wish I knew tbh! All I know is that if I wanted better quality versions of a material that I’ll just go to a tougher area and gather there. The material requirements are a bit more lenient in this game than previous games, so this can certainly help you later on. I hope this helps, even for a little bit!

[@aella2016]

@@BacklogBattle Thank you, it does seem to make the most difference. I think alchemy lvl might affect it cause I'm noticing higher level stuff even when I'm gathering in town but going far out into the harder areas is definitely the best way to get the good stuff in my experience!

[@Aryenf]

Q about trait slot I don't play the game yet, but in the previous game you need alchemy LV 30 to get all three trait My friend said that in the beginning, you already got three trait slots, so what is the purpose of trait slot material loop there?

[@Aryenf]

Also q about complete crafting stuff In the mid/endgame, did you already make stuff with maxed effect (ex: explosive uni with explosive,surprise L, and the other effect ) ? Sorry for my bad english

[@BacklogBattle]

That’s confusing so let’s clarify. Yes, all three trait slots can have assigned traits to them. However, the traits you assign will be locked, meaning whatever they do will not work. To make them work, you need to spend materials in the Trait material loop to enable/unlock them!

[@BacklogBattle]

Yes! This is possible in the mid-game!

[@invaderjpq]

Can you explain Travel Bottle? The new patch says travel bottle can go up to 200, but there are no explanation on how to raise travel bottle level.

[@BacklogBattle]

I’d assume this has something to do with the new difficulty level they added. I’ll have to check!
