I am for the life of me trying to figure out if this is possible.

I submitted a post some time ago wondering if it was possible to get to a 3-1 ratio for tier 5 parts.....Thornwood to make boards, Radiant essences for radiant orbs, etc....

The best I can come up with so far is 4-1 and that is with fully teched gear, teched tools, and using an expert shop.

I am able to place all tier 5 items....thornwood timbers/braces, etc at 2-1 without an issue....

My main question is if there is any way someone gets to 3-1 on materials to make from thornwood logs to boards by chance? I dont see how...I have even thought of using bolster potions, but that is not enough to raise the skill enough to get to a 3-1 basis.

I am not sure what the mark is to go from a 4-1 ratio to 3-1, but any insight would be helpful.
